Fragmented Heart
AI A3 2025
This shoe design features asymmetrically arranged petals, sharply fractured lines, and particles of light drifting without a center. The heart of the flower, once the core of balance, is now either vanished or remains as a faint ember of light. Yet, these pieces do not represent an end, but rather a process of reassembly. The absence of a center allows for new perspectives and forms to emerge, challenging the conventional definitions of beauty. 'Fragmented Heart' is an emotional exploration of inner cracks, emotional shards, and fragments of memory—each still capable of becoming something aesthetic. It is a new order born from brokenness, a truth visible only after collapse. This piece suggests that imperfection can be just as expressive, perhaps even more so, than flawless beauty.

I work in Busan, Korea, and I participated in the group exhibition of the art festival in Paris, Japan, China.
The title of the picture is"Breath". "Breath" expresses the moment of deep rest and healing in the natural arms through the figure curled up in the petals. Flowers are symbols of vitality and circulation, indicating that humans and nature are connected. It contains comfort like a breath from nature in a busy daily life.

Art is a language beyond words and therefore a particularly powerful tool for pointing out grievances and initiaging change. Art should therefore speak out where language fails and be allowed to make its voice heard, especially in public spaces. The connection between humanity and nature, the cycle of existence of all life on Earth, has been lost in many areas of the so-called civilized world. It must be restored to enable future generations to live a worthwhile existence in harmony with nature. Initiatives like BIEAF enable
artists to contribute tot hat goal.

The mainly wooden paintings focus on the integration of the surface into thecreative process. Inspired by pareidolia, the motifs are developed in a surrealway from the wood structure. Coloring with soft pastels emphasizes the woodgrain and lends it expression and artistic meaning. The portfolio also includesworks in watercolor, ink pen, oil etc. The reference to sustainability - thetension between humanity and nature - is a recurring theme in motifs andmaterial used. E.g. thus, worthless scrap wood is upcycled and transformedinto unique art pieces.

This painting captures the serene beauty of Kabylie, a mountainous region in northern Algeria known for its breathtaking nature and rich cultural heritage. Through warm earth tones and vibrant greens, the landscape reflects the harmony between the rugged mountains, olive trees, and traditional Berber villages nestled in the hills. The scene invites the viewer into a moment of stillness and connection with the land — a tribute to Kabylie's timeless spirit and its people’s deep bond with nature.

Ascend of light 1&2
Painting 2025
Ascend of Light is an abstract reflection of the inner spirit’s rise and the silent force of hope. Through vertical motion and intersecting rays of light, the work symbolizes a soul breaking through constraints and ascending toward clarity and freedom. It is not a depiction of the physical world, but a transformation of emotional and spiritual states. Using acrylics, natural fibers, and torn fabric, I allow the materials themselves to speak—layered, distressed, and reformed. The gradual shift from darkness to light mirrors a personal journey from doubt to awakening. This is not only a tribute to natural light, but also to inner conviction and the quiet resilience of the human will. Ascend of Light continues my exploration of dualities: fragility and strength, despair and hope. I invite the viewer to stand before the work and feel that upward pull—a soft but unwavering ascent, where light becomes not just seen, but deeply felt.

Hifza Khan
Pakistan
In a world marked by environmental collapse, cultural erosion, and existential uncertainty, The Lost Center – Art in Crisis invites artists to reflect on what anchors us amid chaos. It explores the fragile balance between nature and human ambition, tradition and modernity, wholeness and fragmentation. Through this theme, we question how art can respond to crisis—not only as a witness to loss but as a force for renewal. Artists are called to reclaim spaces
of meaning, connection, and resilience, offering pathways to rediscover the “center” within ourselves and the world around us.
Hifza Khan (b. 1994) is a visual artist based in Lahore, Pakistan. She holds a BFA (2018) and an MPhil in Studio Practice (2023) from the College of Art and Design, University of the Punjab, Lahore. Khan’s work has been exhibited widely, both locally and internationally. Her international exhibitions include the Busan International Environmental Art Festival (South Korea, 2024–2025), the International Turkish Culture and Arts Promotion Workshop and Symposium (2024), and online collaborations with Iranian platforms such as the Palette Art Gallery + Art Bethak (Pakistan/Iran). She has also participated in international e-exhibitions across Europe and Asia. Her work has been featured in leading art spaces in Pakistan, including Alhamra Arts Council, Ejaz Art Gallery, Ana Molka Award Exhibitions, Artscene Gallery, Artcade, O Art Space, and several other prominent group shows in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. Khan’s oil-based practice revolves around hyper-realistic depictions of human figures, blending meticulous detail with conceptual depth. Her work often explores themes of social realism, fragility, and isolation, inviting viewers into an atmosphere infused with mystery and reflection.
The Rose and the Ruins
Oil on Canvas/36inx48inc/2024
“The Rose and the Ruins” draws upon the rich and intricate legacy of Mughal art to explore the tensions between beauty and decay, connection and isolation, heritage and fragility. It is a meditation on the delicate balance between what has been lost and what endures, between grandeur that once flourished and the quiet vulnerability of the present. At the center of the composition is a solitary figure, poised within a window framed by ornate architectural elements, holding a single rose. The rose itself becomes a potent symbol—its soft petals echo nature’s perfection and its fragrance, the fleeting sweetness of life. Yet, in her hands, the rose also becomes a fragile reminder of all that is under threat in our contemporary world: ecosystems collapsing, cultural legacies eroding, and an increasing sense of existential dislocation. The architectural setting surrounding the figure evokes the opulence of Mughal design—symmetry, intricate patterns, and a reverence for nature that once shaped an artistic and cultural golden age. But in “The Rose and the Ruins”, this grandeur carries an undertone of melancholy. The delicate carvings and arches appear like fading memories, whispering stories of a world that is slowly disintegrating under the weight of modern chaos. The space feels protective yet confining, magnificent yet fragile—a metaphor for the contradictions of our times. The woman within this space inhabits a duality: she reflects the isolation and disconnection of modern existence but also carries the potential for quiet resilience. Her stillness, her inward gaze, suggests a meditation on fragility— not only of life and nature, but of cultural identity and memory. In her hands, the rose becomes more than a flower; it is a beacon of hope, the possibility of renewal, and an invitation to contemplate what remains precious amid the ruins. This painting is both a tribute and a lamentation: a tribute to the richness of a cultural heritage where art and architecture intertwined harmoniously with nature, and a lament for the dissonance of our present moment. It asks the viewer to pause and consider: What are we losing in the name of progress? What fragments of beauty and meaning might we still preserve and nurture? Through “The Rose and the Ruins”, I reflect on how art can become a bridge between what is crumbling and what might yet be revived. Just as the intricate forms of Mughal art emerged from eras of turbulence and transformation, so too can art today provide a space for reflection, healing, and renewal. In moments of crisis, art offers not only consolation but also a path to reclaiming balance, connection, and wholeness. “The Rose and the Ruins” captures this delicate tension—the coexistence of beauty and destruction, stillness and chaos, memory and forgetting. It speaks to both the fragility of our world and the enduring power of art to guide us through uncertainty and toward a more meaningful future.

Hilda Márquez is a Mexican visual artist known for her bold, colorful paintings and large-format murals that fuse emotion, symbolism, and cultural identity. Rooted in a deep appreciation for Mexican traditions and spirituality, her work often incorporates vivid palettes, gold leaf, relief textures, and symbolic elements inspired by feng shui, designed to evoke harmony, abundance, and emotional connection. Her art balances expressive technique with intuitive composition, often blending abstract and figurative elements. Márquez creates visual narratives that celebrate femininity, inner strength, and joy, while also inviting reflection through embedded words and hidden messages. Her pieces frequently honor Mexican icons, such as Frida Kahlo, and channel influences from artists like Van Gogh and Dalí. In works like her renowned mural “La Frida Jarocha”, she captures both cultural heritage and personal emotion, using scale and detail to transform ordinary spaces into sources of energy and inspiration. Each painting is not just decorative, but meaningful—meant to uplift and resonate with the viewer on a personal level. For Márquez, painting is an act of love and intention.

HOARAU Céline
La Réunion
La grande nature réunionnaise, inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’humanité par l’Unesco depuis 2010, inspire et nourrit l’imaginaire des artistes réunionnais et d'ailleurs. Puiser son inspiration artistique à la source de cette Nature nous oblige envers elle ; art et environnement sont interdépendants dans bien des cas. Que ce
soit comme source d'émotion à retranscrire sur une toile sous forme abstraite : essence pure qui touche l'âme ou l'esprit ; ou bien comme instrument pour susciter la prise de conscience à travers l'art : émouvoir pour sensibiliser à la richesse de notre biodiversité et de nos paysages naturels.
Céline HOARAU s’est lancée dans l’expression artistique pour exprimer les émotions fortes ressenties lors de ses immersions en pleine nature à La Réunion. Tout d’abord à l’aquarelle, fascinée par la fusion des pigments sur le papier gorgé d’eau. La grande nature réunionnaise, celle des Pitons, cirques et remparts protégés par leur inscription au patrimoine mondial de l’humanité, l’inspire tout particulièrement. Elle n’a de cesse de rechercher comment traduire l’émotion qu’elle éprouve devant un paysage, sa puissance et sa douceur à la fois. L’épure du paysage, juste son essence, sa lumière, son ambiance, voici les impressions qu’elle pose sur ses toiles abstraites ou ses aquarelles semi figuratives. Elle peint également des paysages intérieurs, expressions profondes nées de ces émotions, et questionne la relation de l’Homme à cette nature : « s’immerger dans un paysage, c’est aussi faire face à soi-même, se trouver ». "Céline HOARAU, par sa peinture, nous laisse explorer nos paysages intérieurs à la lumière de sa propre sensibilité à la nature et à notre humanité." (Amandine Bazin)

현재 수학강사를 하면서 처음 방정식들을 보며 신조형주의로 표현을 할 수 있지 않을까해서 작업을 시작했습니다. 처음 작품들은 작품 감상법에 답이 없고 관객이 보고 느끼는 그대로인 듯이 수학에 서 부정방정식 또한 답이 정해지지 않고 여러가지로 나올 수 있는 것에 입각하여 하나의 방정식을 여러가지로 표현해왔습니다. 그 이후의 작품들은 실생활에서 물리법칙 하나가 없어진다면 혹은 거꾸로 진행된다면 에서 시작한 상상들을 그림에 옮겼고 가장 최근 작품들의 흐름은 사람이 느낄 수 있는 감정들을 수치화하여 신조형주의의 느낌으로 재해석하거나 신조형주의의 기존 틀을 깨는 방향으로 연구하는 작품들입니다.

My three paintings are called the Four Greats, which originate from the Buddhist theory that all life is created from earth, water, fire, and wind. The four people standing at the four corners of the painting represent the Four Greats, and the stilt house represents a temporary residence, standing on a fish-shaped piece of land, the fish-shaped piece of land represents the movement of life, and the chaotic group of people represents a human society that is gradually losing its direction. The Four Greats are increasingly in conflict, creating danger for human society. Through my artwork, I want to convey to the audience and everyone that we are living in an extremely dangerous and urgent era, where the environment is increasingly being seriously destroyed. If people know how to join hands to do good deeds to save the Earth, it is truly valuable, and so is human morality. If we can do that, our human society will become better.

This is my first time joining the Busan International Environmental Art Festival, and I’m very happy to be part of it. I really support the theme "The Lost Center – Art in Crisis." Today, we face many serious problems like climate change, pollution, and the overproduction of consumer goods. These issues are affecting our planet and need more attention. I believe art can help people see and feel these problems in a different way. Through my work, I hope to share my thoughts and be part of a global conversation about how we can reconnect with nature and build a better future.
I am a Finnish artist with Chinese roots, and I have lived in Finland for over two decades. The country’s pristine landscapes, deep respect for nature, and harmonious way of life have been a constant source of inspiration in my artistic journey. My work bridges traditional Aisan techniques with contemporary expression, creating a dialogue between cultural heritage and modern aesthetics. Over the years, I have participated in or organized more than a hundred exhibitions worldwide. My solo shows include exhibitions at the Hiekka Art Museum, the Helsinki Cultural Centre, and Porvoo Art Hall in Finland, as well as the South China Art Museum in China, among others. I am a member of the Finnish Painters' Union and a recipient of grants from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. In addition, I serve as the director and curator of Galleria Kookos in Finland.
Love To Be Free
Ricepaper on canvas, 80x60cm,2024
"Love for Freedom" is inspired by Finland’s sauna culture. After a sauna, it is common for Finns to plunge naked into a lake—immersing themselves in the beauty of nature, completely free and unburdened. In that moment, there is no restraint, no barriers—only a pure, intimate connection between human and nature. It is a profound and incomparable sense of freedom. In today’s world, where consumerism and materialism dominate daily life, this return to simplicity feels increasingly vital. True wealth is not measured by material possessions, but by the ability to live in harmony with the natural world. In the vastness of nature, we may seem small, yet we are truly powerful —because we possess the heart and awareness to protect what is essential. The imagery in the painting reflects these themes. The bird represents freedom—but it is also an eye, symbolizing human perception and vision. Water flows gently from this eye, suggesting that our awareness and care are what sustain the lake and keep its spirit alive. On the surface of the water, a small figure runs freely, joyfully, embracing nature without fear or boundaries. It is a celebration of the profound freedom that arises when we reconnect with the world around us—with openness, respect, and love.

Puerto Rico
Through the Red Sea… On a Banana Boat Hubert Caño This work emerges from the urgency to speak about forced journeys—about bodies crossing borders at great risk, carrying silences heavier than luggage. Through the Red Sea… On a Banana Boat is a poetic and critical image of displacement: a tropical banana transformed into an absurd vessel, loaded with memories, faces, and objects that drift between nostalgia and hope. The banana, a symbol of hunger, colonial trade, and commodification, becomes here a fragile means of transport for human lives treated as products in the global exchange. On this floating skin, I construct a visual theatre of gazes. The faces don’t speak, but they say everything: confinement, uncertainty, fatigue, resistance. They are fragments of interrupted stories. The red structure that houses them evokes both violence and bloodshed, and the “sea” is not just water—it’s a symbolic body, a border that divides and swallows, a liquid threshold that many do not survive. That’s why the title references both the biblical and the political—because every migrant needs faith to cross their own red sea. But this work also looks back—toward the place that is left behind. Migration doesn't only transform the person who leaves; it alters the environment left in absence. There is an ecological cost that’s rarely spoken of: abandoned lands, disrupted rural ecosystems, the environmental footprint of disconnection. The places we leave behind carry the echo of loss, and I wanted those remnants—those found objects—to speak in the piece. They are witnesses of what no longer fits in the suitcase. I work with assemblage because it allows me to speak in layers, to mix times, memories, and materials that have had other lives. I paint, collect, cut, and assemble—because images, too, migrate. This piece is an offering to those who have left, to those who carry exile as a second skin. I’m not looking for easy answers or comfort—only to offer an image that is unsettling, tropical, and ironic, where beauty coexists with protest.
Por el Mar Rojo… En Banana Boat
Mixed Media/Object/#Assemblage 70 x 84
Declaración del artista sobre la obra Por el Mar Rojo… En Banana Boat Hubert Caño Esta obra nace de una urgencia por hablar del viaje forzado, del cuerpo que cruza fronteras arriesgando todo, del silencio que arrastra la migración. Por el Mar Rojo… En Banana Boat es una imagen poética y crítica de ese desplazamiento: una banana convertida en nave absurda, cargada de recuerdos, rostros y objetos que flotan entre la nostalgia y la esperanza. El fruto tropical —símbolo de hambre, de comercio injusto, de lo que se exporta sin miramientos— se transforma aquí en embarcación precaria, en transporte simbólico de vidas humanas que son tratadas como mercancía en el flujo global. Sobre esta cáscara, construyo un teatro de miradas. Son rostros que no hablan pero que lo dicen todo: encierro, incertidumbre, cansancio, resistencia. Son fragmentos de historias interrumpidas. El color rojo que envuelve la estructura evoca tanto la violencia como la sangre derramada en el trayecto, y el “mar” no es solo agua: es un cuerpo simbólico que divide y traga, una frontera líquida que muchos no logran cruzar. Por eso el título: una alusión bíblica y política, porque cada migrante necesita fe para atravesar su propio mar rojo. Pero esta obra también mira hacia atrás, hacia el lugar que se deja. La migración no solo transforma al que parte: afecta el ecosistema que se queda sin cuerpo, sin trabajo, sin raíces. Hay un impacto ambiental silencioso: tierras abandonadas, entornos rurales que se modifican, basura cultural e industrial que se acumula donde antes hubo comunidad. Quise incluir esos rastros, esos objetos encontrados que cuentan lo que no cabe en los titulares. Trabajo con ensamblajes porque me permite hablar en capas, mezclar tiempos, memorias, materiales que han tenido otra vida. Pinto, colecciono, corto, ensamblo, porque así también migran las imágenes. Esta obra es una ofrenda a todos los que han partido, a los que cargan el desarraigo como una segunda piel. No busco respuestas ni consuelo: solo propongo una imagen incómoda, tropical y cargada de ironía, donde la belleza convive con la denuncia.

以写意山水画的形式创作了这幅团扇作品，试图用传统与现代相结合的方法使墨与色浑然天成。在夏的概念中描绘出凉爽的感觉。笔墨的运化行走追求与自然的对话，山体骨架，树枝结构运用传统骨法用笔，云雾水气，墨色渲染则追求气韵生动。点景房屋线条舒朗，树木点叶墨韵自然，空间分割上开合有序，下面空白留有余地，给人一种幽境深远的感觉。从技法上看有着传统笔墨技巧，又不拘于一家风格，结合写生创作，追求一种独特的审美取象。

以生宣水墨的形式描绘北方冰雪世界，追求一种世外无尘的空间境象。以传统笔法勾勒线条结构，用块面水墨表达细微层次。作品以东北大小兴安岭、长白山为创作基地逐步形成“冰雪山水画”为主体风格，多年来游历名山大川，从对象的形质特点寻求新画法新程式，经过多年的探索与研究，利用水墨在宣纸上呈现的独特而奇妙变化，融入到造型骨架中，化刻意为天成，不失传统笔墨，注重现代审美意识，独创了一种博大、弥蒙、壮丽的空间境象，作品体现出了清明、高旷、超脱尘俗的精神气韵，追求突出写意情致而又不失写生的真实与生动，形成了凝重、拙厚、飘逸的山水风格。点画自由奔放，墨色厚重洒脱，不拘形似，气势贯通。于寻常之中见境界，于寻常之中见笔墨，给人一种自由、和谐的感觉。

Acrylic on canvas 60x80
The artwork "Flow" portrays the serene beauty of moonlight shining over a golden ripe rice field. The moonlight flows gently, casting a soft glow across the vast landscape, creating a peaceful and poetic scene. The painting harmoniously blends the warm hues of the rice with the moon’s gentle light, evoking feelings of nostalgia, tranquility, and a deep connection to the homeland. "Flow" represents a quiet, heartfelt stream of emotion.

I am an artist who mainly draws nature, mountains, and the animals that live there. As a child, I lived in a place full of trees and open skies, but it has now become a village of apartments. I can no longer go back, but the memories remain vivid in my heart. I especially miss the time when I used to proudly gaze up at the vast, blue sky. Through my paintings, I try to relive those moments and share the beauty of a world that is slowly disappearing. My work is a quiet reflection of longing, memory, and the deep connection I still feel with nature.
Dream Glow
Oil Painting/91x109cm/2023
The animals are painted in expressive colors—especially the elephant in cold
blue and the giraffes in warm, strong tones. The fragmented brushstrokes are
beautiful yet unstable, suggesting a world in transition. From the perspective
of global environmental protection, this work speaks to the fragile beauty of
wildlife and the harmony of nature that is slowly disappearing. The dreamlike,
bright colors evoke a sense of a vanishing world. The purple and red shades in
the background may symbolize deteriorating natural habitats caused by
deforestation and climate change. The elephant, painted in cool tones,
represents wisdom and memory, reminding us of what we are losing. Overall,
this piece captures the vulnerability and delicacy of nature. It is a visual plea to protect the rapidly disappearing ecosystems, delivering a message to revive
our emotional connection with nature through color and form—and to act
before it’s too late.

I am a traditional Korean writer who is drawing using my own character ggaggu.
까꾸는 나의 호랑이캐릭터이다. 다른 나라는 호랑이를 맹수라고 생각하고 무섭다고만 생각을 하고 그치는데, 우리나라는 그렇지않다.
우리나라에서는 맹수같은 동물들을 무서워하는데만 그치지않고, 한편으로는 익살스럽게 그림으로써, 사람과도 친근하게 그린다. 나는 맹수라고 하더라도 자연의 일부분이라고 생각하며, 서로 조화를 이루며 상생하는 것을 원하기 때문이라고 생각한다.
그래서 까꾸라는 호랑이 캐릭터는 맹수의 모습보다 좀 더 친근하게 보이기 위하여 익살스러움을 담음과 동시에, 동양을 넘어 서양과도 친근하게 되려는 표현을 주기위하여 까꾸의 눈을 푸른색으로 표현하였다.

My pet's name is Somi.
Anyone who raises a pet will have a day where they feel like they will be
together forever, hoping that there will be no inevitable separation. I am well
aware that the happiness I feel now is happiness that will not come without
meeting even if I am afraid and sick about separation. I met Somi and found
out that I can love animals this much.
"Dear little brother Somi, thank you for being the main character of my work. I
am so grateful for every moment I have grown and lived with you from the
moment I met you."

In an era where non-face-to-face contact has become the norm, we are losing the opportunity to see others’ faces. The F.F (face to face) series is a work that asks the meaning of ‘gaze’ in this era of disconnection. Communication through facial expressions and emotions in the eyes are the essence of relationships. The moment of face-to-face is a time to truly sense others, and at the same time, it is an internal moment to face myself. This series revives the ethical and philosophical resonance of faces even in social distance, and quietly reminds us of the importance of ‘being together.’

The Lost Center evokes a sense of disconnection — a fading of once-shared values and identities. My work responds to this crisis not with despair, but with quiet reconstruction: seeking what was lost, and imagining how art can restore balance. Through diverse media and layered expression, I explore how fragments can reunite to form new meaning — not in spite of crisis, but through it.
I study Minhwa (Korean folk painting) and actively engage in both artistic creation and educational programs based on it. As a “communicative artist” who began with Minhwa as a student, I simultaneously pursue learning and creative work. My practice focuses on naturally bridging the gap between tradition and modernity through my art.
Tracing ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ
Korean paper / 110×110cm / 2024
“Hidden Pictures in Comics: ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ” is a playful reinterpretation of Korean consonants through traditional folk painting (minhwa). Each letter—ㄱ, ㄴ, and ㄷ—is transformed into a visual landscape where hidden images quietly emerge. Blending humor and nostalgia, this piece invites viewers to explore the charm of language and art through detailed observation and discovery.

La Ciencia
Oil on canvas/130x195cm/2024
"The painting of science reflects how the thirst for power has driven much of scientific progress toward warfare. A hominid screams at Homo sapiens—a desperate call to rethink our evolution: where are we heading? If we don’t change our ways and fail to learn from nature as a wise teacher, we may face extinction, as suggested by the Fermi paradox."

Visible et invisible
Acrylique on Canva 100x100cm 2025
A harmonious, dynamic graphic composition that gives birth to a new world each time I begin a new medium because it constitutes a very liberated linear interplay, tracing a fish, but since fish have no memory, my works are never alike. It's the same style but always a new composition, thanks to a lyrical line that dances and runs through the entire medium, whether it's a canvas, a carpet, a piece of furniture, or a tree. A freedom of execution that renews itself and runs through the entire canvas. A play of emptiness and full secrecy thanks to the addition of color. The background becomes shapes, and shapes form the background. A deep musicality, a dialogue of tones that constitutes a
lyrical song. It doesn't matter whether I construct these strips to imprison the color or to better free it; what matters to me is this euphoria that musicalizes my works.
Mother Nature is the center of the world, its balance and its life, my personal interpretation. Exploiting the richness of the marine world: its fauna, its flora, its transparency, its light, its restless silence, its depths, animated by species of a graphic richness beyond reality. A world different from Earth, closed in on itself with sounds orchestrated by An ensemble gathered for the performance of a musical work with a number of combinations and interpretations depending on the spectator and the arrangement of the genre of repertoire addressed, directed by a divine light.

She is an artist, designer and researcher. She considers herself a sculptural storyteller and a collector of spaces and memories. Her work explores the limits imposed by the society of appearance and its norms. She uses the domestic-familial microcosm, where rituals perpetuate models, roles and stereotypes, as a starting point for her discourses.

Photography / 58 x 38 cm (each) / 2025
‘Aporías, luego Anomia’ is an analogue photographic series that explores the contradictions inherent in 'imposed' social reasoning. The images are double exposures of the sky, created manually and separated by a black line. This dual visual representation of the sky, both vast and fragmented, symbolises the overlapping and contradictory nature of information in our age. The black line acts as a visual barrier, highlighting the impossibility of reconciling truths presented simultaneously.

aspects of life
print on archival Paper 22x 18 inch Year 2025
Light is a fundamental component of life, which affects every moment and every aspect. This important component not only makes our vision possible but also has a profound impact on our emotions, feelings, health, attitudes, and daily life.
If a human imagines life without light, he will find himself immersed in complete darkness, where neither paths nor colors will be visible, nor will there be a sense of time, and no activity can be performed.
It is impossible to imagine life without light, because light alone provides us with the opportunity to see, understand, feel, and live. Whether it is natural light or artificial, its correct and balanced use can make life and the environment pleasant and better.
As a visual artist, on various occasions in my daily life, be it happiness or sadness, or religious festivals or academic and literary programs,or music concerts or road trips, electric lights are very attractive, due to which I unconsciously become attracted to them and save this state and moment in the eye of my camera.
By capturing these scenes from the world of light colors to the colors of my own nature, I try to present to the viewer a combination of lights and colors that create the feeling of a healthy environment.

Civilians dead
Acrylic 139x99cm 2022
Ioannis KaiZer Kaiserlis's Civilians Dead blends symbolic abstraction and spiritual commentary. Using vivid colors to depict death, the work subverts expectations, invoking fear of future suffering rather than mourning past loss. The cross suggests universal agony and coming upheaval. Through rich symbolism, KaiZer warns of moral collapse and calls for spiritual salvation, positioning art as both prophecy and plea.

The image, viewed from above, shows what appears to be a very large natural formation, possibly part of a waterfall or a massive rock interacting with water. In the upper left portion, there's a very dark area, resembling a wet rocky
surface or dark ground, interspersed with brown and gray hues. In the center, a wide, winding structure stands out in a light brown color, tending towards beige or creamy. This structure looks like a thick layer or a natural protrusion, with wavy horizontal lines or small ridges adding detail to its surface. There are color gradients from dark to light brown on this part.
Ismail Bakr, photographer and director, Egyptian TV and founder of Marakeb Al Shams International Ismail Bakr is a distinguished Egyptian photographer and director who has contributed to the Egyptian art scene, particularly in the fields of photography and digital production.

For me, art in crisis means the need to find inner spiritual peace. This is the only way to find balance and faith
I am a Phd artist from Poland, working at a university teaching painting. What is important in my work is nature and man's relation to nature, which through its contemplation allows to get away from everyday problems, giving respite and a kind of meditation.
Inner peace
oil on canvas 120 x140 cm
The work is inspired by the beauty of the garden and its meditative atmosphere, which can be felt by anyone regardless of age, gender, religion and place of birth. Contact with nature is a transcultural act, thanks to which we can all come together in a garden of tolerance.
Characteristics of creativity: I am interested in the relation between a man and nature and in the possible attitude of a human being towards nature. Nature is understood here as the world of flora, fauna and inanimate nature. The idea of my project is inspired by the philosophy of Zen and the treatment of nature as a source of inspiration which allows to keep a distance to the things and in which the most important is to notice and appreciate the apparently insignificant matters – “insignificant” from the point of view of modern men oriented to materialistic and pragmatic values.In addition to the pure fascination of nature and the perception of seemingly inessential elements of life, a man himself plays a very important role in my work. A man is seen from the perspective of a journey in his everyday internal life which is extraordinarily different from the perspective of someone who observe “the same” from the outside. The direct, instant stimulus’ follow from the internal experience of other cultures, the contact with met people and from the contact with nature that gives me a feeling of “gazing novelty”, which is comparable to the experience of the world in someone childhood when everything is perceived as new and fascinating. One can find as a unifying element constituting the above mentioned fascination concerning nature and travels the touch of some timeless moments of the aware and fresh admiration of life which is distant from everyday superficial routine.

Leaning into Stillness — Azaleas of Baemsatgol, Jirisan
In the quiet valley of Baemsatgol, Jirisan,
even the sound of water softens into silence.
One shy azalea blooms beside a resting rock.
The breeze lingers for a moment,
and springlight catches its breath in the hush.
Within that tender stillness,
I heard the whisper of nature’s heart.
