We begin May with Lisa Rickard on the cover of The Guide Artists, an artist who brings together the tradition of classical painting with a deeply personal vision. Her work builds a visual language in which symbolism is no longer merely an aesthetic element, but becomes an emotional, poetic, and spiritual experience.
In her paintings, Lisa Rickard takes wings beyond the decorative or narrative. She transforms them into an open reflection on freedom. Traditionally associated with the divine, wings have represented elevation, purity, and the unreachable, but also distance, renunciation, and the tension between two worlds. The artist recovers this imagery and reinterprets it through an intimate sensibility, where the spiritual and the human coexist within the same territory of beauty, silence, and uncertainty.
But this issue does not stop with a single voice. Throughout the magazine, we also bring together other artists who expand this dialogue through different languages, techniques, and sensibilities, enriching an edition defined by the diversity of perspectives and the strength of each individual proposal. Painting, drawing, experimentation, and visual narrative coexist in a selection that defends the unique identity of each creator.
This is how we begin May with a question that runs through the entire edition: where does flight truly begin? Perhaps not in the wings themselves, but in the ability to imagine it, and in the persistence of those who, through art, continue searching for new ways to elevate the gaze.
