Christiane Tabord Deillon creates abstract paintings that feel less focused on physical landscapes and more connected to emotional energy, intuition, and inner presence. Using powdered pigments, layered textures, flowing forms, and soft atmospheric compositions, her work explores invisible states of feeling rather than fixed narratives or places. Deeply influenced by mindfulness and meditation, Christiane approaches painting as both a creative and spiritual process, allowing emotional alignment and stillness to shape the energy of each work. Her relationship with materials is equally intentional, with handmade pigments and tactile surfaces becoming part of…

Mona Lisa Safai creates abstract works filled with movement, texture, and emotional energy, blending digital art, photography, and traditional painting into a layered visual language that feels both physical and atmospheric. Rather than focusing on narrative or recognizable imagery, her work invites instinctive emotional responses through scraped textures, shifting colour fields, and bold palette knife marks that hold traces of process and spontaneity.

Irina Forrester’s abstract works move beyond representation, using shape, colour, and composition to explore identity in a way that feels both personal and open-ended.

Martine Jansen doesn’t fill space, she creates it. Through layered pastel paintings and restrained sculpture, her work proves that silence, patience, and refusal to overexplain can carry more weight than noise ever could.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and felt like the walls themselves were alive, you’ve experienced a little bit of what Rothko aimed for. Born in 1903 in Dvinsk (now Daugavpils, Latvia), Rothko emigrated to the United States as a child and later became one of the seminal figures of the Abstract Expressionist movement. What made his work stand out was his belief that colour alone, large fields of it, softly edged and hovering on the canvas, could evoke deep human emotion: tragedy, ecstasy, even the sense of the sublime.Rather…

Every artist has little things that mean a lot, maybe it’s a childhood toy, a pattern you loved in your grandmother’s kitchen, or a recurring motif you notice in dreams. These small, personal symbols carry stories that only you fully understand, and they can become powerful tools in your art. When someone else sees them, even if they don’t grasp every layer, they feel a connection, like a secret handshake. Think about a painting that features a little paper boat. To you, it might be a memory of a rainy afternoon,…
