Paulo Coelho: "Culture makes people understand each other better"

• "Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions".

Catrin Welz-Stein | Surrealist Digital painter

• "I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed".

• "Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering".

Justyna Kopania | Ballet Dancers

Justyna Kopania is a Polish painter from Warsaw who specializes in highly textured, atmospheric oil paintings on large canvases.

Her artistic style bridges impressionism and expressionism, utilizing bold palette knife techniques and dense paint layers to evoke silence, light, and deep human emotion.

Her unique impasto works are highly sought after globally, frequently outperforming traditional master reproductions in commercial demand.

Kopania’s work is a bit of a refreshing break to see how she manipulates and uses this traditional medium in a different way.

Henri Lamy, 1985 | Portrait Palette Knife painter

Henri Lamy is a French figurative painter, born in 1985. Seduced by the immediacy and spontaneity of the acrylic, the quality of his work is enhanced by the lively colors and his expressive compositions, as well as the use of palette knife.

Initiated at a very young age by his father, Henri is an admirer of Pollock and "drip painting". His painting appears to be more abstract at close range but becomes more figurative from a distance.

Patrick Gonzales, 1965 | Surrealist Digital painter

Patrick Gonzalès is a visual artist born in Miggenes, France. He began painting at the age of 15, mainly by replicating great works of art, while in parallel he was developing his own artistic style.
