VU BACH LIEN
Việt Nam
-Artist Vu Bach Lien (born 1976, Hanoi), graduated from the University of Industrial Fine Arts, is a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. - Author of 2 solo exhibitions (2008, 2018). - Works are present in the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and many collections in Korea, the US, Norway, Thailand...
I came to the theme of “The Lost Center” with a painful feeling – about a world that is gradually losing its core: the human in its own humanity. My work is an open question about existence, originating from the anxiety in an era where technology and convenience have exceeded the threshold of service to become shackles for emotions. Even Love – the most private and sacred thing of mankind – is gradually digitized, turning into something that can be measured instead of felt.
I chose handmade paper, watercolors and monoprints – raw materials bearing the traces of hands – as a way to hold on to “humanity” amidst the industrial flow.
In the painting are two individuals: one headless – symbolizing the empty
body; the other with a robot motif – the embodiment of artificial intelligence. They are entwined between circles containing a tangled monochrome network – symbolizing the virtual space, where connections are dense but lack real emotions.
I'm not looking for answers, just sharing empathy – with myself, with you, and with those who are struggling to hold on to their lost center.
Do We Still Have Origins?
collage Hanji paper & Dó paper, collagraph printmaking, watercolor. 57x77cm, 2025
The work reflects a deep unease in the digital age, where humans increasingly depend on technology and lose themselves. A headless body and a robotpatterned figure entwine within tangled networks — symbols of distorted love and fading humanity. Through raw, handmade materials, I ask: how much longer can we hold on to our original human essence?

Vu thi Bach Hoa
Việt Nam
Sculptor Vu Thi Bach Hoa was born in 1958, graduated from the sculpture department of the Hanoi University of Industrial Fine Arts, class of 1976-1981. Member of the Hanoi Fine Arts Association, member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association I work with materials such as wood, stone, metal, ceramics... My artistic perspective is to return to, preserve, inherit and develop the cultural values of my nation. From stories such as Tien Dung and Chu Dong Tu, Quan Am Thi Kinh, Vu Dai Village in the past... I find inspiration in images closely associated with the Vietnamese people's consciousness, especially the images of women and children who appear frequently in my sculptures. No matter what material I use, I always aim for softness, femininity and flexibility to touch the depth of emotions, expressing the inner beauty of the characters in my works.
LOVE
Sculpture, 120x98cm Metal carving 2014
Tác phẩm "Miền ký ức" là tình yêu sâu lắng của tôi cảm nhận về sự duyên dáng tinh tế và nghĩa tình trong tâm hồn người Việt về một di sản văn hóa phi vật thể đại diện của nhân loại: dân ca quan họ Bắc Ninh ( đã được Unessco công nhận ) Với hình ảnh 3 liền chị quan họ trong trang phục áo tứ thân nón quai thao nghiêng nghiêng như đang bay trên nền mây bồng bềnh và cổng làng cổ kính.

Những đám mây không đơn giản là yếu tố tạo hình mà mang ý nghĩa dẫn dắt đưa người xem về nơi vẻ đẹp của chiều sâu tâm hồn văn hóa Việt . Tôi mong muốn tác phẩm sẽ lan tỏa vẻ đẹp độc đáo sâu lắng của của miền văn hóa quan họ trong đời sống văn hó đương đại đến với bạn bè quốc tế

Vu Thu Phong
Vietnam
Artist Vũ Thu Phong is a visual storyteller whose work exudes both lyrical beauty and deep introspection. In her artistic journey, she doesn't merely depict nature; rather, she invites viewers into a space of emotion—where external landscapes echo the inner world of the soul.
The storm
oil on canvas/180x180cm/2023
The painting titled "The Storm" (“Cơn dông”) is a striking example of her sensitive approach. With a soft yet weighty color palette, the artwork captures the moment just before a storm sweeps across a quiet lake. The clouds twist like silk ribbons in shades of grey and blue, hinting at turbulence, while the water remains calm and reflective. A solitary boat rests at the shore, still and waiting—like a silent witness to nature’s quiet upheaval. Vũ Thu Phong’s paintings are never loud or dramatic, yet they resonate with subtle emotional depth. They speak of solitude, of our silent connection to the world around us, and of fleeting moments of stillness that each of us has known.

peaceful morning
watercolor on silk\70 x 50 cm\ 2025
I draw what is most familiar and closest to me !!!
Works “Peaceful Morning”, “Pink Room”, “And Sweet Memories” Part of the “Peaceful Memories” series of paintings inspired by the author’s own feelings about the familiar things around him in his daily life.
Early mornings, quiet moments of looking at the surrounding living space, nature, grass, trees, flowers, listening to the sound of roosters crowing, the sound of cuckoos, the sound of white-rumped shama calling each other, the chirping of sparrows nesting right in front of the house… things that seem very simple but we often forget due to the busy, urgent life or are overwhelmed by the sound of vehicles, the noise of construction sites, houses under construction. Things that today we think we only see in the memories of our childhood, in our hometown. Nature still exists around us, always very close, if we listen calmly, live a little slower, we can feel it.

Harvest day
Oil on canvas/80x80cm/2023
“Harvest Day” In today’s chaotic world, the “center” feels increasingly lost—not just socially or environmentally, but within ourselves. This painting reflects a return to something essential: the golden rice fields of Vietnam, where time slows down and the soul remembers. The small white house—silent, solitary—anchors the composition as a quiet symbol of home, belonging, and the human need for grounding. Through warm, earthy textures and abstract simplicity, I invite viewers to reflect: what is the center we’ve lost, and where might we find it again?
As an artist, I see “The Lost Center” as a call to return to what truly matters—within ourselves, within nature, and within our shared humanity.
In times of crisis, art becomes a compass. It doesn’t solve the chaos, but it reminds us of presence, of beauty, and of resilience.
My work reflects this belief: that even in silence or solitude, we can find a sense of grounding. Through texture, color, and memory, I search for that lost center—and invite others to do the same.

Yaima Rodríguez
España
Artista plástica franco-cubana. Se destaca por resaltar en colores su mundo onírico con matices del alma. Sentimientos que se perciben a través de sus obras. Va contando historias en cada pincelada. Aunque ha estado alejada del mundo artístico sin exponer por mucho tiempo. Ahora regresa con mucha energía y con colores más vivos que nunca.
Letras al tiempo
Acrílica sobre lienzo
Letras al tiempo” es una pintura acrílica sobre lienzo que transmite una calma profunda, con una carga emocional que invita a la introspección. Es un intento sincero de capturar en la tela la evasión del alma: ese impulso de buscar refugio en la lectura y el mar, símbolos de libertad y serenidad. La composición es equilibrada y fluida. Los colores vivos y cálidos evocan un cielo tranquilo, como el de un atardecer que suaviza el caos interior. El personaje central parece suspendido entre la tormenta emocional y la paz buscada, reforzando la dualidad que atraviesa toda la obra. La técnica acrílica aporta textura y fuerza expresiva, dando vida a cada trazo y sumando profundidad al mensaje. La pintura tiene un trasfondo íntimo. Nace de una necesidad personal: la de escapar del ruido del mundo para reencontrarse en lo esencial. En ese gesto, se vuelve universal. Invita a desconectar, a parar, a leer, a respirar. “Letras al tiempo” no es solo una imagen, es un recordatorio: la tranquilidad sigue existiendo, aunque tengamos que buscarla a contracorriente.

雾
桦树皮中国画 44x59cm 2024
《雾》以黑龙江省广袤的林海雪原为创作原型，将山林、树木与流动的雾气作为核心表现元素，巧妙融合中国传统绘画的笔墨意趣与当代视觉语言。画面以初雪景象铺陈开来，细碎的白雪如薄纱般覆盖在起伏的山峦与疏密交错的林间，既保留了北方雪景的凛冽清寂，又通过水墨晕染的技法赋予雪粒柔和的层次感。 雾气是整幅作品的灵魂所在，它并非静止的留白，而是以淡墨与水色的渐变，在山林间构建出流动的韵律。远处雾气与灰蓝相融，让连绵的山脊隐现于朦胧之中，墨色的浓淡变化勾勒出树木的参差形态，近处则被薄雪覆盖，笔触的细腻与留白的巧妙形成鲜明对比。色彩变化强化了画面的空间纵深感，更让初雪覆盖的林海雪原呈现出层次丰富的视觉韵律，仿佛能让人感受到雾气从远山蔓延至近林的流动感。 作品准捕捉了白山黑水的自然灵韵，以树皮为材料，融合传统非遗，又暗合了黑龙江林海雪原所承载的红色文化意涵，雾霭中屹立的山林，如同黑土地上坚韧不拔的精神象征，覆盖大地的白雪，恰似涤荡心灵的纯净力量

Shape of Life-1
Materials: Mix Media on Canvas, Size: 36" x 36", Year: 2024
Shape of Life-1: The long, different shapes in this painting represent different tools of the Stone Age. At that time, people had to hunt for food. To protect themselves from hunting and predators, people used different types of tools, which were made of animal bones or stones, etc. This is reflected in this painting. There are some textures and abstract shapes in the background of the painting that open the door to the viewer's imagination. It is a kind of abstract expression of experience and feeling rather than reality. By looking at this painting, the viewer will encounter a kind of feeling. Through the shapes, they will understand about the different tools and human life of the Stone Age.

Lavender Forest
Digital Art/3840×2160/2023
At dawn, when darkness gradually clears, a mysterious purple forest unfolds.
The seasons pass over the scenery flowing in the fog. However, nothing leaves
the forest. This is because the forest holds the secret of healing. Nature is a
place where humans who are alienated by technological advancement can
find comfort. This work is characterized by a pictorial quality that resembles
an oriental painting, but the artist's unique digital drawing technique richly
expresses the mysterious changes in light.

물숨 - 장지에 채색 / 90.9x72.7 / 2024
불안 - 장지에 유화/ 130.3x*97.0 / 2025
불안 : 마음속에는 누구나 불안을 가지고 있습니다. 저는 특히나 미래에 대한 불안, 스스로에 대한 불신이 크기 때문에 매일 잘못될지도 모른다는 두려움을 가지고 살 고 있습니다. 그러나, 제가 약한 순간이든 강한 순간이든 저의 곁을 지켜주는 사람들 과 이야기하며 저의 불안은 사실 제가 생각해낸 ‘과한 불안’에 불과하다는 것을 깨달 았습니다. 불안을 유발하는 요소는, 때로는 너무나 크고 무서운 괴물 같아 보이기도 하고 심리적으로 나를 공격하는 끔찍한 사람 같아 보이기도 합니다. 하지만 밝은 빛 을 비추어보면 결국 그것은 스스로에 불과합니다. 세상의 현상을 받아들이는 것은 나 자신이므로, 불안은 내가 직접 만들고 내가 직접 나에게 꽂는 ‘칼’인 것입니다. 이 러한 의미를 담기 위해 우글거리는 그림자들이 사실은 빛을 비추면 저의 형상을 띄 고 있는 것처럼 연출하였습니다.

oil on canvas, 130cm x 130cm, 2025
신영진의 낮달-두고 온 산하- 시리즈 회화는 현실을 바라보는 작가의 역사인식이 탄탄한 내공으로 표상된 인문과 예술의 결합체라고 할 수 있겠다. 진지하고 겸손한 접근법으로 자연과 역사를 탐구하며, 특히 이 낮달 시리즈는 작가의 시선이 서정적 풍경으로 자연에 있으나, 그 외형보다는 이면에 내재된 역사를 추적하거나 현상에서 드러나는 진실을 말하고 있다. 이러한 풍경은 땅의 역사를 환기하고, 현실을 응시하며, 다시 자연으로 환원시키며 만들어내는 헤테로토피아의 세계이다. 자연에서 대상을 선별하고 사실적으로, 때로는 비사실적으로 포착하여 화면에 제시함에도 재현 적 완결성은 물론 형태와 질료의 실험을 통해서 기존에서 보여지는 풍경화에서 더멀어지는 시뮬라크르의 풍경으로 제시하고 접근하고자 한다. 그럼으로 자연과 물아일체되 는 삶, 전쟁이 없는 세상, 환경파괴가 없는 세상을 꿈꾸고 있다.

I am a painter and the founder of a small creative studio called *Rosa & Garden*, located in Seogyo-dong, Seoul. My artwork is inspired by everyday life—nature, flowers, and animals—expressing the belief that the Earth belongs not only to humans, but also to all living beings. This time, I am presenting a new piece at the Busan International Environmental Arts Festival, continuing my effort to tell visual stories that honor the harmony between people, animals, and the natural world.
I deeply appreciate and support the Busan International Environmental Arts Festival for creating a platform where art meets ecological awareness. In a time of climate disruption and digital acceleration, such initiatives are more vital than ever. Thank you for giving artists the opportunity to contribute to a global conversation about sustainability and the future of our planet.
Morning in the Amazon
Oil on canvas / 90.9x72.7cm / 2025
This painting was created out of a deep concern for the global environmental crisis and a desire to speak through nature’s quiet beauty. By portraying a thriving rainforest filled with birds of all kinds, I wanted to remind viewers of the rich biodiversity that is rapidly disappearing due to deforestation and climate change. Each bird, each leaf, is a symbol of life we often take for granted. Through this work, I hope to evoke a sense of urgency—but also reverence. The rainforest is not just a distant landscape—it is part of our shared home. This painting is a visual call to protect what still remains, to live with more awareness, and to recognize that nature is not separate from us, but a vital part of who we are.

A representation of the essence / 본질의 표상
Acrylic on canvas /90.9x72.7cm
중심을 버리는 것은 인간의 실행적 가치를 버리는 것이라고 생각한다. 중심은 인간의 무한한 가치가 완성되기 위한 촉매제 역할을 한다. 우연이 필연이 되어 하나의 요소로 작용하는 가치 속에 숨은 의미는 무엇이며, 인간의 가치는 보다 포괄적이고 방대하다. 그렇게 우리는 인류에 뒤섞여 살아가고 있다.

Ukraine
Artist, designer and teacher. I work at the Khortytsia National Academy as a lecturer. At the same time, I am engaged in art and design practice. I am fond of vytynanka (paper cutting), graphics and printing, and I explore these arts comprehensively. Accordingly, I work on various projects related to these techniques.
Art is in crisis, so the center of balance has been lost. The balance between the creative impulse that is aimed at making money, and the one that is aimed at expressing oneself through one's own art.
"Inside the shell. AirCastle No. 3"
Canvas, acrylic paint, acrylic marker. 70/50 cm. 2025.
It is human nature to dream and build sandcastles or palaces in the clouds in our imagination. They are like mirages from the future, giving us the strength to overcome difficulties. This is where I get my inspiration. That is why the popular expression "castle in the air" is used in several of my graphic works.

The lost center
Acrylic on canvas ,size 48 by 36 inches
In this painting, I have show a girl who looks like a queen. She is wearing a crown on her head and holding a lotus flower in her hands. The lotus flower stands for hope. This flower is linked to the ancient Gandhara civilization of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is very important in Buddhism. It is often seen with Buddha and is a part of meditation. That’s why I used the lotus to show hope in this artwork. Behind the queen, there is a golden circle (halo) shining around her head. It shows her purity and peaceful nature.

ZAMAKOY
Reunion Island
Zamakoy is an artist from Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. An adept of improvisation, which plays an important role in his artistic process, he focuses on themes such as cultural transmission, music, and the tropical island universe, with a particular attraction to portraits that embody life and humanity. While his island, Réunion, is a major influence, his artistic universe is not confined to its borders. He explores other shores according to his inspiration, travels, and imagination.
In a world in upheaval, we can find the basis of existence in Mother Nature.
She has survived many a cataclysm, she brings us serenity and beauty, and even if we mistreat her, she knows how to show us the best our Earth has to offer: life and harmony. By reconnecting with her, protecting her and celebrating her through art, we can see what's essential about our planet and where we need to go to reconnect with her.

It's Réunion Island that guides my brush, even when I'm not painting purely Réunionese themes.
It's the energy of Reunion that I try to store in my paintings, with its strong colors, which push me to use paints that are highly charged with quality pigments, the purest possible to make this energy burst onto the walls where they are hung.

The East is Red
Ink on paper 200cm×200cm 2019
《The East is Red》Work Introduction : I am Zhang Minghong, the initiator of the Root-seeking the Great Wall project. My team and I have been exploring the Great Wall for over eleven years, depicting stories of border vicissitudes and descendants of garrison soldiers through my paintings. The Hexi region in northern Gansu features a majestic landscape—sparse populations, interwoven mountains, gobi deserts, and grasslands. Though the Silk Road camels and Great Wall beacons have faded into history, descendants of border guards still till the land in loess gullies. A rattling farm tricycle, loaded with wheat, a farmer's wife, and hopes for the market, bumps along mountain roads. 《The East is Red》 captures dawn when golden light bursts behind a beacon tower, illuminating a speeding tricycle. The vehicle seems to leap as farmers in the cart laugh and exclaim, with a goose formation flying past.The painting’s red sun symbolizes the light of life emerging from farmers’ chapped fingers and weathered wrinkles— a vital force breaking through hardship.

Zobia kulsoom
Pakistan
I am Zobia Kulsoom, a visual artist from Pakistan with a passion for vibrant colors and expressive forms. I graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro, in 2015. Since then, I have exhibited my work in galleries across Pakistan, showcasing my distinctive abstract style. My art reflects everyday life and its challenges, especially those faced by people in my country. Through bold colors and dynamic shapes, I strive to capture the essence of my subjects while leaving room for interpretation. My pieces are known for their energy and movement, often addressing themes of identity, culture, and social justice. In 2017, I won first prize in photography, followed by the Best Painting Award in 2018 at an event organized by Best Cement Factory. In 2023, I served as a judge at a prestigious painting competition at a federal government college in Rawalpindi, reflecting recognition of my expertise. Beyond art, I’m committed to social impact. I am a certified trainer with the International Labor Organization (ILO), working on the elimination of child labor in Pakistan. This dedication to social causes deeply influences my artistic vision. I am also a skilled graphic designer and illustrator, continuously exploring new techniques and creative tools. I see art as a powerful medium not just for expression, but for transformation of thought, of emotion, and of society.
BIEAF 2025 ‘The Lost Center: Art in Crisis’ reflects the deep disorientation of our current era. In a world where social, political, and environmental structures are collapsing or shifting, the 'center' once considered stable has been lost. This theme is an invitation to artists to explore chaos, fragmentation, and uncertainty. My interpretation embraces this moment not as a void, but as a space for reimagining truth, balance, and connection through art. In crisis, art becomes both mirror and guide a force that helps us rediscover meaning in a decentralised, complex world.
Untitle
Mix media, 16”x20”inches, 2024
As an abstract painter from Pakistan, my work is inspired by personal struggles, childhood trauma, and the everyday challenges of life. I use bold colors, textures, and shapes to express emotions that words often cannot. My art transforms pain into beauty, inviting viewers to connect, reflect, and find their own meaning. Each piece is not just my story, but a mirror of the shared human experience. Through this visual language, I aim to create space for healing, growth, and emotional dialogue—turning chaos into color, and silence into powerful expression.
