Painting did not begin as a career for artist Sophia Frese. It arrived instead as a kind of return, a recalibration, a way of coming back to herself after years spent inside disciplines that lived almost entirely in the mind. She had painted since childhood, but the moment she allowed it to become central came […]
Ádám Dóra is a Hungarian visual artist working between Budapest and Barcelona, whose practice bridges sculpture, installation, drawing, and conceptual research. His work is rooted in the subtle exchanges between the body and its environment, how gestures become form, how memory settles into material, and how attention transforms the ordinary into something quietly transcendent.

In his Berlin studio, Ruprecht von Kaufmann works surrounded by the quiet textures of linoleum, a surface he has made his own.

Antwan Horfee’s story begins in the northern suburbs of Paris, where restlessness pushed him away from the classroom and into the city’s hidden corners.

Vasco’s journey as a painter began with a small, bright green and yellow sketchbook his mother bought him when he was six years old in Mexico. “She had a passing promise,” he recalls. “’I’ll buy it for you if you use every page.’ At the time I didn’t think I was going to do it,
