Editorial – Issue 87
Why this editorial is special to us. This editorial comes from a very different place than usual. It is not driven solely by professional reflection or the desire to share ideas, but by a profound change in our lives that has reshaped the way we understand work, projects, and the future. In recent months, we have received news that has completely changed our course: the arrival of a new life that will make us parents for the first time. An experience that is already teaching us, even before its arrival, that there are priorities that go beyond any professional goal, and that true success is not always measured by results, but by the meaning we give to each step.
Editorial – A Season of Renewal
In this issue, we are especially pleased to present new talent defined by freshness, elegance, and, above all, delicacy. We believe art reveals itself most powerfully when it is allowed to exist in its perfect moment, when its presence feels both immediate and lasting. It is through that sensitivity that we are able to appreciate the new visual languages, refined approaches, and emerging perspectives that continue to shape both the professional and emerging spheres of figurative art. Over the years, our community has brought together outstanding figurative artists whose work reflects a remarkable range of expression and technical ability, from deeply sensitive portraits to sculptures of extraordinary naturalism and presence. Each new edition becomes, for us, another opportunity to continue that dialogue between mastery, discovery, and artistic evolution.
Editorial – Issue 86
We have entered the fourth month of the year, and with the arrival of spring, we step into a new chapter for our magazine with an issue defined by renewal, intention, and a forward-looking vision. This moment represents more than a seasonal shift; it marks the beginning of a new stage shaped by clarity, evolution, and a deeper commitment to excellence.
Editorial – Issue 84
It seems that nowadays art is measured with a calculator in hand. Every canvas, every sculpture, every installation is first considered for its investment potential and only then, if at all, for what it might evoke in the viewer. What was once an intimate encounter with creativity, an almost sacred experience between the work and the observer, has gradually been transformed into a transaction. Art has become a financial product: it is auctioned, speculated upon, collected... and, far too often, forgotten.
Editorial – Issue 83
Sometimes the world seems to move too fast. Uncertainty, anxiety, and the constant rhythm of everyday life can easily overwhelm us. In the middle of that noise, art appears as a refuge: a place where we can breathe, pause for a moment, and reconnect with something deeper within ourselves. This month we celebrate painting as that vibrant and protective space. Color, light, and form have the power to move us, to slow our thoughts, and to remind us that wonder still exists. Each artwork becomes a small pause in the day, an invitation to look carefully, to imagine freely, and to rediscover the quiet pleasure of contemplation.
Editorial – Issue 82
Today, The Guide Artists opens its doors to all manifestations of art: figurative, conceptual, digital, photography, and beyond. Each discipline is a universe in itself, and we want to immerse ourselves in all of them with curiosity, respect, and passion. We are inspired by discovering the work of young artists, of individuals who, unafraid of established norms, are building a new, diverse, and above all, free world.
Editorial – Issue 81
February insists on speaking about love, but art
has been doing so for centuries without softening it. Because love has never been only something beautiful. It is intensity, conflict, desire, loss. It is an experience that moves through the body and leaves marks, which is why it has been one of the most powerful forces in artistic creation.
TODAY´S HIGHLIGHT
With this new section, we aim to bring that energy from the screen to the printed page. We introduce a space dedicated to the highlights of our Social Networks, a curated selection of artworks, creative processes, and moments that have captured the attention of our global network of collaborators and art enthusiasts in more than 80 countries.
Editorial – Issue 80
January unfolds as a territory of beginnings, a space where everything becomes possible once again. In art, that beginning often appears as a blank canvas, but also as an essential question: from where do we look? Color emerges as the first gesture, the first heartbeat. It is not a mere visual resource, but a profound language that runs through the history of art and the human experience, capable of moving us even before it is fully understood.
Anatomy of Chaos
The Guide Artists presents 'Anatomy of Chaos,' an exhibition by Albert Bonet Florensa in Cádiz. Explore 10 years of the artist's career with 27 works reflecting everyday life, identity, consumer culture, and popular imagery.
Curator’s Choice
Curator’s Choice is an exclusive section of our magazine dedicated to highlighting the artists and artworks that stood out throughout 2025 for their excellence, vision, and commitment. This selection brings together artists who have actively collaborated with The Guide Artists during the year and whose work represents the highest standards of figurative painting and artistic integrity.
Editorial – Issue 79
Before closing the year, we want to express our deepest gratitude. This 2025 allowed us to meet someone who has shown us respect, friendship, and mutual admiration. It has been a pleasure working alongside him on his book, his exhibition, and supporting his professional growth. We are speaking of Santi Pina, who features on one of our most meaningful covers of the year and embodies everything The Guide Artists represents: talent, dedication, and passion.
Editorial – Issue 78
Our cover embodies this perfectly: Marissa Oosterlee. Her art, intense, technical and profoundly human, reflects that search for truth that we value so deeply. Her portraits, often submerged in water, invite us to look beyond the surface. In every face she paints there is a calm that arrives after the storm, a reminder that beauty is not found in perfection but in the sincerity of the process.
Editorial – Issue 77
Each issue of The Guide Artists is the result of a commitment that goes far beyond publishing a magazine or a book. It reflects years of dedication, a sincere passion for figurative art, and a constant desire to offer artists a space that is dignified, transparent, and honest.
This month, however, invites us to reflect. Not on art itself, but on the attitudes that threaten its very essence: disrespect, envy, and the intent to damage what has been built with effort and love. It is disheartening to see that, in an environment that should be guided by sensitivity and mutual admiration, there are still those who choose to destroy rather than contribute.
Editorial – Issue 76
Even so, it’s not all struggle. Fortunately, we have an incredible community, artists, readers, followers, who support us, who write with kindness, who believe in our mission and help us grow every day. To them, to you, we owe so much. You are the energy that keeps us going when we feel we can’t. You are part of this family we’ve built with so much effort and dedication.
So, thank you. Thank you for being here, for valuing, for sharing, for trusting. Thank you for making The Guide Artists a living, free, and ever-evolving space.
May this September bring new beginnings, new challenges, and new ways to celebrate what we love most: art.v
Editorial – Issue 75
At The Guide Artists, we feel this month as an opportunity to reconnect with our essence and rekindle what we love. That is why, after a necessary and strategic pause, Collector Masters®, one of our most cherished initiatives, returns with greater strength, clarity, and ambition than ever before. We could not let fade a project born from our commitment to contemporary figurative art, to building genuine bridges between artists and collectors, to offering a platform where quality art is valued, nurtured, and projected internationally.
