Autumn Issue/ Seasonal Edition

Welcome to Collect Art, Seasonal Edition, Volume 79. With each new volume, we continue our journey of discovery, dialogue, and reflection through the voices and visions of artists from across the globe. This issue is no exception—gathering an inspiring constellation of international creators who generously open their studios, stories, and hearts to us. Their works remind us that art is not only a reflection of time but also a catalyst for transformation.

In the pages that follow, you will encounter a wide spectrum of practices, from traditional painting and sculpture to experimental digital forms, textile explorations, and performance-based documentation. Each artist brings a unique perspective, deeply rooted in personal histories and cultural contexts, yet universally resonant. The diversity of approaches reminds us of the richness and interconnectedness of contemporary art today: there is no singular path, but rather a multitude of voices weaving a shared conversation.

Beyond the artworks themselves, this edition highlights the people behind them. Through thoughtfully curated biographies, artist statements, and personalized interviews, we are invited to look beyond the surface of the canvas or the contours of a sculpture. We step into the spaces where ideas are born, shaped, and challenged. We hear about childhood memories, struggles and triumphs, moments of doubt, and flashes of revelation. These narratives not only enrich our understanding of the work but also bring us closer to the humanity of the artist.

At the heart of Collect Art is the conviction that art thrives when it is shared. In an increasingly fragmented world, art magazines like this serve as bridges—connecting artists with audiences, and audiences with stories they might otherwise never encounter. This edition spans continents, uniting creators whose works resonate with themes of identity, memory, belonging, ecology, and change. Their languages may differ, their mediums may vary, but their commitment to honesty and expression is a universal thread.

Volume 79 is also a celebration of continuity. For nearly eighty editions, Collect Art has remained committed to championing both established and emerging artists, offering them a platform to showcase their visions while cultivating an engaged readership eager to discover new perspectives. With every seasonal release, we reaffirm our belief that creativity is essential to human experience—an ever-expanding field where imagination meets resilience.

As you turn these pages, we encourage you to pause with each work, to listen to the silences between words in the interviews, and to let the images linger beyond the paper. This issue is not meant to be consumed in a single sitting; it is designed to be revisited, to reveal new connections and meanings over time.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the artists who entrusted us with their voices and visions, and to you, our readers, who make this ongoing dialogue possible. May this volume ignite curiosity, spark conversations, and perhaps even inspire your own acts of creation.
