Creative Blog

Creative Blog is a space to exchange ideas through the art of writing. We are building a community of creative writers that explore subjects related to creativity and arts.  Our articles are diverse and include essays, critiques, historical context, anthropological and sociological aspects, and many other themes.

The written word is one of the most expressive and creative ways to express one’s art form, we encourage artists and writers to contribute to this space to exchange and share your thoughts, ideas and visions by using a narrative craft that goes beyond the boundaries of the normal forms of literature.

Joe Esposito
by Pedro Boaventura
Joe Esposito looks at reality with an unprecedented clarity and authenticity. His world seems simplified to us, just as it would to a child’s innocent and purifying glance. The shapes are reduced to the simplest and most elementary, they are limited solemnly to the essential, and there is no place for distracting details, textures, not even differences regarding the shades or the chiaroscuro along a surface.

Marco Battaglini
by Pedro Boaventura
Battaglini seamlessly integrates the classic figures into a modern background through the wise use of colour and palettes studied in detail. They live in full cohabitation with the poor and homeless in a daily landscape of besmirched suburbs.

Bruno Pontiroli
by Pedro Boaventura
With a refreshing vision, Bruno Pontiroli paints a magical surrealism of enchanting details. An original world with pseudo-naïf traits, where free animals and human beings have fun.

The muse who suffered for love
by Camila Reveco
In the painting in which Jeanne poses in a blue dress, you can see - for the very first time - what Modigliani defined as "soul." He finally painted her eyes and the look has the expression of someone deeply saddened: there sits a young girl who is in intense pain.

Ode to the Musical Universe
by Camila Reveco
Many painters, from different artistic periods, have shown a special interest in the topic of music and shaped it into countless works. In many cases, music has been represented from an extremist point of view, linked to religion or associated to sin, desire and lust.

The Naked Lips
by Eva Chateau
When an artist represents his model with one or another lip tone, he is revealing data of his personality. The reds, unlike the rosy tones, assume a woman of character, who is not ashamed to expose herself nor submit to the consideration of others, and makes use of her sensuality and power right in front of the universe of masculine desire.

The Triumph of Death
by Tia Ramirez
The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel, is an imposing and breathtaking piece. Death being a popular subject during the Renaissance, the message of the painting is poignant - no one escapes death, regardless of who you are or your social standing.

Leszek Sokol
by Pedro Boaventura
In Leszek Sokol’s art we step into a fantastic tale which takes us back to a distant dream, located somewhere in our childhood. Just like in any enchanted realm, the angelic figures drag us into an anti-gravitational universe.

Hernan Munoz
by Pedro Boaventura
His painting puts in jeopardy the laws of physics, destroys and rebuilds a new world that is as impossible as it is wonderful. It challenges the gravitational pull and Newton himself. The magnetism of his objects captures our glance in a seductive enchant

Arina Gordienko
by Pedro Boaventura
When I see one of Arina’s paintings, there is something that immediately catches ones’ attention, something happens to time and space, it is as if they were compressed, or perhaps expanded. As if the world had stopped and so did time.
