Born in Germany, living in France since my childhood, I am a Franco-German painter who likes to vary her sources and patterns of inspiration while always making colourful paintings, bright fragments of life.

My inspiration comes from my travels, I like ... Read more »

Les petites bêtes de Gaston Schnaebelé Il magnifie les mal-aimés, ceux qui grouillent, rampent, bourdonnent et parfois piquent ou mordent… Ces individus d’un monde animal miniature entrainent parfois une peur irraisonnée. Pourtant l’univers plastique de Gaston Schnaebelé leur offre une seconde vie. Ces petits monstres qui semblent surgir du Bestiaire de Lautréamont ne sont pourtant pas destinés à la métamorphose. Ils sont même reproduits avec un certain réalisme. L’artiste travaille ... Read more »

On 25 April 1974, the Portuguese regained their freedom. A movement of young captains overthrew Salazar's dictatorial regime in a matter of hours and with virtually no bloodshed. A carnation was planted in their buttonhole and on the barrel of their rifle. The year 2024 thus marks the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, a major event in Portugal's contemporary history and an international influence for democracy. It is against this backdrop that Franco-Portuguese artist Nathalie Afonso ... Read more »

 As a resident of Strasbourg, I have been living and studying there since my arrival in France in 2001. Originally from Albania, I owe my inspiration to this symbolic country. It was during my studies of Visual Arts at the University of Strasbourg that I was able to embark on my artistic projects. I envisioned coffee as a medium not so long ago. As a child, I already saw my mother use coffee frequently to read the future through the stains. Like her, I did not only see coffee, but a symbol dedicated ... Read more »

Mannucci1978 is a story of talent and tradition passed down. The name of the brand bears the initials of the craftsman Mario Mannucci and the year in which he began his journey, driven by a passion that he passed on to his son Marco. M-1978 always finds new inspiration in the search for the purest and most primordial state of the object - the material - starting point and final objective of the brand's zeitgeist. Like a work of art, each creation focuses on uniqueness, achieved through the charm

Je cherche à capturer l'essence de l'art céramique africain tout en insufflant une touche contemporaine.

Sima Naghshdoust, born in Bandar Anzali in 1957, is an Austrian-Iranian artist based in Vienna. She perceives art as a tool to connect with the here and now as an ever-changing flow of emotions. The mystic Rumi once said in a poem (Persian: من نه منم نه من منم), “I am not me, nor am I myself”, and painting has a similar effect for her in that it is never sure which version of “me” is in charge of the paint brush on a given day and that is part of the beauty of painting. In ... Read more »

Ilona Maier uses the art of photography to capture the reality of a moment while enriching it emotionally. Her metamorphic photographic work is distinguished by the pleasure she finds in experimentation. She explores existing forms that defy rational explanation, emerging from her intuition and mood. Ilona Maier gives pride of place to chance and spontaneity, catalysts for the creation of new realities. Her artistic approach is based on black-and-white photographs, which she painstakingly transposes ... Read more »

For a number of years, I have been drawing sculptures from the cathedral at the Œuvre Notre-Dame Museum in Strasbourg. Young women, named Wise Virgins and Foolish Virgins in the Bible (Matthew 25, 1-13) particularly appeal to me. They almost all wear a veil and testify to their individuality by the attitude of their bodies and the expressiveness of their faces.

What is accepted in art history is often a challenge to our Western gaze today. Women wearing a veil sometimes irritate us, destabilize ... Read more »

I have never been to the moon but I love and dare to imagine that the immeasurable beauty of the Icelandic deserts can bring me closer. To walk in this pure nature is to feel all the force of a young, vibrant, sanguine earth. To follow these paths is to enter into a masterpiece painting and to feel, while just breathing in these landscapes, as if you are part of the chef-d'oeuvre that is Iceland.

I chose to represent the landscapes or simply some of their details in a relatively small format ... Read more »

The art exhibition which the artist would like to propose, “The Spirit inside Sculpture”, came to mind during the realisation of an art work featuring seven archangels of the Christian religion. Deepening the studies of angelology, the artist discovered that also in the Judaism and Islam, like in Christianity there were “intermediary beings” capable of transmitting God’s wish and bringing the Word of God. In the story of Abraham, and even prior to the creation of the Universe, we witness ... Read more »

"Vycinanka" is a Belarusian art of paper cutting. It has been historically used by the local population to decorate their houses out of old newspaper, wrapping paper, or any other recycled paper. 

Nowadays, in many countries political persecution, forced migration, and governmental abuse produce everyday reality.

Members of the artist group "La résistance du papier"  use paper to process the rupture, grief, and fear caused by repressions. The fragility and vulnerability of paper make it ... Read more »

Extract from an article published in the press: "I simply paint instinctively and I want to make emotions understandable by translating them into colours", he explains. "My paintings are emotions materialised in the creative process, which I express in particular through colour. [...] What he prefers is to paint on wood, usually old wood, on which his sometimes complex works of art are presented, using a variety of brightly coloured techniques. "I love old wood and have a real penchant for it," ... Read more »

My artistic work is not linked to a traditional training: it was built outside an academic painting school. However, the requirements of writing learned during my studies of Literature intersect with those of the art of painting: to reveal emotions through a figurative or non-figurative composition. This is what I seek through watercolours which provide an infinity of possibilities in the play of colours and their nuances. For this exhibition, I chose a diversity of subjects to present my watercolours. ... Read more »

A Walk through Urban and Rural Environments

Through a series of photographs depicting urban and rural environments, the artist reflects on the motif of movement through both environments. On the one hand, the artist is attracted by relaxing landscapes with the occasional passer-by in motion, and, on the other hand, moments of movement are captured in unmistakably urban environments. In both cases, the photos convey anchored moments of complete repose and the beauty of a single step forward. The ... Read more »

Movies, music, comics, classical and modern art, videogames, cartoons, pop culture... So many varied artistic domains that Super Octopus sprawls his voracious tentacles onto and feeds on.

You can tell from one look at the artist’s works: the recurring octopus pattern is essentially a springboard to help him explore new realms, try new techniques, follow new artistic leads…

Most of Super Octopus’s works are created using a graphics tablet, and then printed by the artist in limited editions.
