Interview with Algirdas Gataveckas and Remigijus Gataveckas
Impact is a long-term artistic project by Algirdas Gataveckas and Remigijus Gataveckas, rooted in lived experience and sustained presence. Emerging from their return to the child care institution where they grew up, the project is built on participation, responsibility, and shared time. Rather than representing reality from a distance, Impact unfolds through coexistence, using drawing as a slow, ethical practice that restores visibility, dignity, and attention to those who are often overlooked.
Antonio Cavagnaro - Between Emotion and Intuition: An Open Narrative
Antonio Cavagnaro, an Italian- Chilean painter, has built a career defined by coherence, technical discipline, and a profound commitment to the language of figurative painting. His work does not arise from improvisation or trends, but from a sustained dedication to observation, structure, and the permanence of the image as a space for reflection. Each stage of his journey has strengthened a solid artistic vision, where academic rigor coexists with a contemporary sensitivity that understands painting as a territory of resistance and contemplation.
Danco Robert Duportai: Memory, Silence and Fragment
Duportai studied at the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts Eduardo Abela in San Antonio de los Baños before graduating from the National Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro in Havana. He began painting consciously at the age of ten, a moment he describes as the beginning of a compulsion rather than a choice.
Now living and working in Mexico, the young Cuban artist has developed a distinctive visual language through dreamlike oil paintings that merge classical technique with a contemporary sensibility. Rooted in academic realism, his work unfolds slowly, constructing scenes marked by introspection, silence, and a sustained narrative tension.

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.

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.
MODERN SCULPTOR OF ABSTRACT-INTUITIVE DIRECTION: Nino Samadashvili
From an early age, Nino Samadashvili developed a deep relationship with observation and imagination. Looking out the window was never a simple, everyday act, but a creative exercise. In that space between interior and exterior, creatures, scenes, and entire worlds were born within her thoughts. Observing the life of her own ideas became a natural practice. When visual art entered her life, it arrived as a revelation, a doorway into a new world where those visions could take form on paper and through modeled materials. For a child, realizing that thoughts could become physical was a transformative experience.
