Issue #54, May 2026

Hello, dear reader! 

In your hands is Issue 54, filled with creativity and inspiration.

While working on this issue, I found myself thinking that an artist never fully knows what impression their work will leave on the viewer, or what thoughts it will awaken. A painting is only a path along which the viewer’s consciousness wanders, guided by their own experience, associations, and mood. Even color is perceived differently by each person. For some, yellow is the color of joy, sunlight, and warmth; for others, it may evoke anxiety.

Looking back into the past, we can recall artists who worked with symbols, when paintings could be “read” almost like a book. But for that, the viewer had to know this language. For those who were not familiar with it – and they were the majority – the painting spoke on its own: through color, light, poses, and emotions. So even in such cases, where it might seem there is no room for different interpretations, time and the change of generations erase any symbols and leave only the visual impression.

I hope this issue will allow you to wander along creative paths and discover something of your own – perhaps even something entirely different from what the artist intended to convey.

Enjoy viewing!
