Interview with Eduardo Landa

Eduardo Landa approaches painting from a position that feels uncommon today: that of an artist who prefers the work to preserve its silence, its mystery, and its own authority. In his case, painting does not mean constructing a narrative around each image or explaining literally what should first emerge through the act of looking. His work moves in another direction, more restrained, more honest, and also more demanding: allowing the painting to sustain, by itself, everything it contains.

Interview with Lisa Rickard

Lisa Rickard’s artistic practice is rooted in Imaginative Realism, a language in which the human figure becomes a symbolic vessel for expressing invisible realities. Her paintings often begin with abstract ideas developed through graphite drawing, before evolving into luminous compositions where light appears to move, breathe, and dance across the human form. Born in Philadelphia, Rickard discovered her fascination with the allegorical figure during her teenage years, when she began drawing regularly from a live nude model who was also a ballet dancer. This early experience shaped her sensitivity to movement, gesture, and the expressive potential of the body.
