You are reading on your screen the first issue of our art magazine. I am thrilled to invite you into our world of color, beauty, and thoughtful art. We have gathered artists from all over the world to create a space where you can discover mainstream art, emerging trends, as well as the works of both beginners and experienced professionals. We have blended art with the thoughts of the artists because contemporary art cannot be fully appreciated without understanding the artist’s voice and perspective. It is crucial to hear what the artist has to say, independent of the visual materials. We have put in a tremendous amount of work to bring you this issue, and in the process, we have been inspired by the many interesting and insightful artists we encountered—individuals we might never have met otherwise. I hope you find this magazine as interesting and captivating as it has been for me and my team to create.
