Editor’s Letter I hope you are all well. I have been thinking extensively about fine art recently, and I have realised how fantastic it is to own an original piece of art. Isn’t it wonderful to think about the fact that artists start their work on blank canvas, and produce extraordinary paintings by only using their imagination? Isn’t it fascinating to see the world through their eyes, especially when you browse The Discerner and read carefully the titles under each work? It is truly captivating!
While reading The Discerner this month, think about how incredible it is to own an original piece that can never be reproduced again! It is simply priceless! The talent of Stephen Schubert, Rosemary Clunie, Karolina Kawa, Simon Kirk, Katie Lips, Susan Miller-Havens, Munleen Sibia, Camilla Ancilotto, Franco The Creator, Clare Danstead, Janez Stros, Svein Koningen and Thomas Strumpel is undeniable and I believe that owning one of their exceptional work is definitely a must! I am currently planning to host a private exhibition for all these phenomenal artists soon, and I do hope that you will be able to come and see their work in person. Thank you for emailing me at celine@thediscerner.co.uk, if you wish to receive further information about our exclusive events, and private viewings, as it would be a real pleasure to meet you. If you wish to obtain further information about the work shown, please do not hesitate to contact the artists directly. I am sure that they would be delighted to discuss their work with you.

In my work I combine painting, collage and decollage (cutting or sanding away the built up surface to reveal layers below). I free associate cut up text and images to create a self contained scenario with its own reality. I’m a big fan of haiku and the gentle playfulness that helps us view everyday life with fresh eyes.

Franco Mbilizi “The Creator” Artist Statement: This exhibition explores the driving power that motivates my search for EMOTIONAL TRUTH. My creative philosophies are united by eternal values and revival of spirituality, and serve as an impetus to reconnect with a mode of life most of us have only ever heard about. I believe that color and geometry can greatly affect how we perceive this meaning. Inside each and every one of us lies primitive memories that are genetic. When we look at these symbols, I believe they can connect with that primitive part of us. I believe this search for Truth can allow us to glimpse the deepest levels of our belief systems and - a brief glimpse of Our Creator. Through color and form, I create resonances and contrasts that impact the viewer’s emotional being. I also use geometric ,quantum, molecular, scientific and ancient symbols to create meaning for the viewer. The viewer is left free to think about existence by reacting to the balance of colour and form. Ultimately, I hope to reveal This Truth by using geometry, science, color and emotion. I have put my soul into this collection. It is EVERYTHING to me. I hope it moves you, the viewer the way it moves me.
