Isabel Kleinert has been creating her whole life, exploring and improving. Finally, after a long path, she stood up and said: "Now or never!" In 2020, she entered an everlasting dance with her art, and that beautiful tango has given us some of her best works. We sat down with Isabel to discuss finally stepping onto the path you truly want, taking her work into the 3D, and her lifelong fascination with the color blue.

Corinne Pagès is an observer, she’s not intervening. She lets the material dictate its own path. Her work is an agreement between the artist's hand and the canvas. For Pagès, the creative process is a journey through an undefined nomadland where the goal isn't just to reach a destination, but to remain in the balance of the moment. In this conversation, we delve into her beginnings, the territories she has crossed, and the lines that map her world.

If you haven't cried, it’s hard to say you’ve truly lived; if you haven’t even tried to reach for what haunts your imagination, was the path ever really worth the walk? In his work, Julien Abstrait uses emotion as a storytelling tool – a hand that leads the viewer through the labyrinth of his ideas. His journey from feeling like he is gated from his own dreams to breaking that barrier and embracing his true calling is etched into every textured layer of his canvas. We sat down with Julien to discuss the transition from the industrial to the astral, and the profound physical sensation of "letting go". 

Throughout her colorful, collage-like artwork, Oksana Alekhina explores what it’s like to perceive life with feeling and intuition rather than what’s tangible. Her vivid, dream-inspired compositions provide viewers with a shelter from the noise of reality, where they can lean more into their inner balance. Drawing on many years of experience in interior design, she creates expressive visual accents that bring color, harmony, and emotional depth into contemporary spaces. In this interview, Oksana Alekhina talks to us about intuition, imagination, and the inner worlds that shape her distinctive visual language.

Joanna Koziej, a visual artist from Poland, is a master of redefining spaces she draws inspiration from without violating or appropriating their quiet identity. She’s known for her unique style of work that features surreal paintings on ceramic tiles installed in public places across the world, which she discovers while working nomadically from a self-built van studio. Moving between wilderness and city streets, Joanna manages to create pieces that balance expressive gesture with the delightfully delicate mystery of a simple, everyday life.

Inez Froehlich builds atmospheres by layer, using sand, stone, and marble powder to reconstruct the history of abandoned walls and the specific tension of lost places. She understands that a location is more than its coordinates – it’s a physical archive of everything that has happened there. In her studio, surrounded by her dogs Klaus, Fanny, and Hermann, Inez practices an art of reduction – stripping away the literal until only the "truth of a moment" remains. 

Freedom. It is a word with a heavy, multi-faceted meaning. For some, it is an abstract idea, for others, a distant goal. Some believe they have reached it, while others feel the pursuit itself is meaningless. There are those who live their entire lives without ever giving it a second thought. But for Isabelle Rivière, freedom is a necessity.

Whether you believe that language is the fundamental shaping aspect of the human experience or not, there’s a massively interesting source of information (and inspiration) to be explored in the patterns, tics, and choices of someone’s speech. The way Carita Laukkonen talks about her own work is filled with physicality: action verbs, anthropomorphization of the creative process.

On the one hand, the story of Steven Kenworthy is one of constant motion, yet on the other, it is the story of a man who truly appreciates the power of the moment. This is the journey of a painter, a poet, a fintech aficionado, a former interrogator, and a believer – a man who doesn’t wait for the right time, but creates the opportunity. In this conversation, Steven shares about who gave him the final push that led him to the canvas, his unique philosophy on existence, and his beloved France.

Ella Barnes is a collaborator with light - she captures ethereal forms of deep truth through an experimental process that involves cyanotype image-making. I sat down to talk with her about her work and here’s what happened. She first started working in a dark room in high school and became captivated with the tactile magic of capturing an image and being able to hold it in the physical realm.

What happens when language stops being a tool for communication and becomes an experience?

This essay is based on an interview conducted with Farid Izemmour in February 2026 about his personal artistic process and its relation to the UNFIXED exhibition; all quotations are taken from that conversation and translated from French into English. Izemmour also shared the images included in this document for use in this publication.

In Salva Nebot’s work, the Hands are the ones that physically build the piece – whether carving into wood or layering photographic emulsion. The Head is the observer, the investigator who searches for the hidden and the conceptual depth within the frame. And finally, the Heart is the element that fills the work with emotion, giving a "visual wound" or a "silent shadow" its true meaning.

We live in a time when authenticity is a rare commodity. Brands are forced to appear “real”, often constructing false narratives just to capture a growing demand for meaning. Art, on the other hand, does not need to pretend to be authentic: it is authentic by nature, and those who create it carry a recognizable identity.
This is where the artist comes into play as a generator of symbolic value: not only for the work they create, but for what they represent.

Henrie Vogel is an artist based in the Netherlands who, throughout his life, has developed an  earnest passion for visual arts, and more precisely; the New Materialism movement. The movement embraces  interconnectedness between humans and matter that surrounds us everywhere we go: materials,  objects, the elements, fauna and flora. When connected with people, these non-human entities  play an important role in shaping reality, and this is exactly what is portrayed in Henrie’s art.  

Harry Bartlett Fenney describes the act of creating as a "natural requirement," as essential and unstoppable as any other part of life. His path has taken him from a wartime childhood in England to a renovated ruin in Brittany, where he continues to produce work driven by what he calls The Process.

For Ziqi Yu, the artist and creative director known as Fanfu, art is not a search for harmony - it is a study of impact. To look at his work is to witness a controlled explosion of geometry against a backdrop of absolute stillness. It is a visual language born from the friction of a life split between the ancestral weight of Guangzhou and the individualism of the American West.

From drawing lines in school notebooks to drawing lines on large canvases – all while daring to cross the line. Arco Bruinenberg’s journey is one of healing through color, of feelings, and the power of abstraction. Following a transformative period in 2024, Arco has emerged with a renewed focus on the power of his palette and an intuitive approach to composition. Now an artist and educator, he balances technical precision with a focus on creative liberation. We sat down with Arco to discuss the "creative fire" that fuels his process and the joy of finding new stories within the abstract.

When a few weeks ago I spoke with Brianna Bass, a painter out of Connecticut, one of the first things she asked was, what is it about the way a ribbon of light that gets scattered through a glass of water that we find so beautiful? There is a divine, prismatic phenomenon that people have been drawn to for millenia and at a time when division and contrarianism are emphatically present. How can we allow our attention to be drawn into the magic and serenity of the natural world?

We live in a context of digital saturation: social feeds overflowing with content, advertisements overlapping, messages competing for fragments of attention. In this scenario, visibility is no longer enough. Being present no longer means being perceived. Companies are progressively shifting from a logic of exposure to one of relevance: what counts is not how much you appear, but how much you make a meaningful impact on people’s lives and on society.

Jeanne Maze Churchill, an Anglo-French artist born and raised in London, now lives in the southwest of France, where she devotes herself to working in pastel, oil, and gouache. Her artistic vision has been deeply shaped by the legacy of her grandfather, the Post-Impressionist painter Paul Maze. It is, in fact, his grandfather pastels (carefully preserved since his passing) that Jeanne still uses today to bring her luminous scenes to life.
