Featured Artist | Keren Toledano


"There is no story without elements in tension. Transparent and opaque, smooth and textured— each aspect amplifies the qualities of the other. The painting is always a palimpsest, a document of layers that build on one another. As a creative writer, I am interested in the overlap of story and image, the ways in which specific marks invoke a pre-linguistic syntax. Stains on raw canvas as adjectives, hard-lined shapes as concrete nouns. What seems most solid is a mere reaction to what lies beneath it."

Natural Beauty


Having art and decor that imitates natural beauty can be a wonderful way to bring the outdoors inside and create a peaceful and calming environment in your home. Whether you choose to incorporate landscapes, botanical prints, or other nature-inspired elements, these pieces can add a touch of serenity and tranquility to any room. Not only do they provide visual interest, but they can also help to promote a connection with the natural world and encourage a sense of mindfulness and relaxation. Additionally, using natural materials such as wood, stone, and plants can further enhance the natural aesthetic and create a cohesive and harmonious design scheme.

Featured Artist | Cindy Press


Cindy Press' work is a tribute to both women and men, as she delves into the relationship between fashion and personal identity. Press believes that our style choices reflect how we interact with the world: "Clothes are a personal decision and what we choose to wear is the way we express ourselves." Her art serves as a metaphor for how we engage with our surroundings, with a focus on the gesture or pose that carries the history of figure or portrait painting.

Featured Artist | Marlies Hoevers


Marlies Hoevers is the founder of 'HoeversID', an art studio where she explores unconventional materials like concrete, cement, textile, sawdust, and cardboard. What fascinates her is the process of revealing the hidden beauty in ordinary materials. Her artwork is characterized by a combination of smooth, cracked, mottled, scratched and different textures, rather than perfect smoothness. Marlies adds delicate materials such as wire or sawdust to create a more fragile or softer appearance to the concrete.

Featured Artist | Jennifer Wagner


In Jennifer Wagner's artistic practice, the manipulation of shadow, blur, and reflection is the central focus. Her mixed media approach, using plaster, acrylic paste, and powdered pigment, produces marks that resemble classic impressionism more than modern expressionism. By creating an active form from a control mechanism, Wagner reveals her visual idiom: "Creating freedom from control and randomness from organization". Each form she creates serves as an alter ego of the artist's inner self. The patterns in her work are inspired by old-world geometric decoration, often borrowing from designs such as quilts, kaleidoscopes, and mandalas.

Her focus lies in discovering new ways to "read the city," with a particular interest in public spaces - areas where everyone is free to do as they please at any given moment.
