Members Interview
Step inside the studio of Canadian painter Renee Pupetz, where paint jars crowd the table, ideas appear without warning, and two cats watch it all unfold. Renee talks about coming back to painting after a tough chapter, how she lets instinct guide her work, and why she rarely throws a piece away. This conversation feels like sitting beside her as she fills her water jars, talks to her late father in the quiet moments, and gets lost in colour and chance.

Themes in art are kind of like walking a tightrope over a pit of opinions. Tilt too much toward what everyone else expects, and suddenly your work doesn’t sound like you. Lean too far into your own thing, and people might scratch their heads, wondering what connects it all. That’s the daily juggling act every artist knows too well, how to follow a concept without letting it hijack your voice. It’s not just about looking good on a wall. Galleries, residencies, and even collectors all have invisible “expectations” baked into what…
Before announcing our selected artists for “Birds”, we want to pause and express our gratitude to every artist who submitted their work. Each piece carried a story of freedom, change, and the quiet strength that lives in every act of creation. Your submissions reminded us why we create in the first place: to connect, to feel, and to share the beauty of being human. Every brushstroke, photograph, and sculpture reflected courage and care, turning this open call into something truly meaningful. Now, we are honored to introduce the selected artists whose…
They say even the sun needs to rise every day to be trusted. The same goes for artists. People start believing in your work when they see it show up again and again, not just once in a while. The artists who build lasting value aren’t always the loudest or the most hyped, they’re the ones who keep showing up, quietly, steadily, and with heart. That steady rhythm builds something money can’t buy: trust. Consistency is how people learn that your art isn’t just a lucky streak. It’s proof that you…
In this feature, five painters show how abstract work can come from a life fully lived. Each of them looks closely at the world and finds something worth keeping. An afternoon sky. A chance encounter with a famous painting. A familiar shoreline. A color that changes your mood without asking permission. They play, experiment and let curiosity lead the way. Their paintings aren’t puzzles. They are places to rest your eyes and let your thoughts wander. Spend a little time with them and you may notice that you are seeing everyday…
They say artists live forever through their work, but only if someone actually knows what to do with it. Too many masterpieces end up in storage units, dusty attics, or lost hard drives because no one planned what should happen next. That’s where a legacy plan steps in. It’s not a gloomy thing, it’s actually one of the smartest, most empowering things you can create as an artist. A legacy plan curates your story before someone else does. It’s a roadmap for how your creative life continues to have meaning long…
Remember that feeling when you’re standing on the edge of something vast, sea, cliff, sky, and for a moment nothing else matters? That’s the world that Caspar David Friedrich often invites us into. Born in 1774 in northern Germany, Friedrich became one of the key figures of the German Romantic movement.What he did differently was simple yet profound: he stopped treating landscapes as just backdrops and made them the main subject. Mountains, mist, sea, these were not just places, they were experiences. His paintings were slower than many modern works, built…
We chose the theme “Faces” to celebrate visibility, vulnerability, and connection. This exhibition is a call to artists everywhere to bring faces to life not just as images, but as reflections of emotion, identity, and the shared human experience.
Out of sight doesn’t mean out of story. The moment your artwork leaves your studio, its journey doesn’t end , it simply changes hands. Yet most artists stop thinking about a piece the minute it’s sold, as if its value or relevance disappears with the transaction. In truth, that’s when an entirely new chapter begins, one that can quietly influence your career in ways you might not realize. Tracking where your art goes and who owns it isn’t just record-keeping, it’s reputation-building. Every artwork that finds a new home adds a…
