Lee Sung Kuen

Lee Sung Kuen’s artistic journey flows along four elemental currents: human, nature, light, and love. His works are living spaces for dialogue, whether set in Seoul’s vibrant streets or Jeju’s volcanic landscapes. They invite people from across cultures to stand together, exchange perspectives, and experience art as part of a shared ecological and cultural fabric.

Alex Voinea

Alex Voinea’s brilliant abstract paintings reflect a life marked by resourcefulness and passion. While just a teenager, Voinea took part in the Romanian revolution that toppled the Ceausescu Communist dictatorial regime. It was a place and time that he has described as being oppressive and dark. During those few turbulent days, Voinea recalls, above all — more than the clashes and shootings — the emotions he experienced. Voinea speaks of experiencing an extraordinarily vivid acuteness of his senses; even the most insignificant of which seemed to take on larger dimensions, everything he saw and felt was out of proportion; his state of alertness multiplied the perception of his senses.

Q:ROCK

Q.ROCK’s digital paintings occupy a charged space between illusion and critique, seduction and skepticism. Working in a hyper-realist kitsch style, the artist eschews both abstraction and photographic mimicry, instead conjuring meticulously rendered scenes that expose the surreal textures of contemporary life. In the Bongdari series, everyday objects are

vacuum-sealed in glossy plastic, transformed into fetishized relics.

Salustiano

For a long time, my painting was a longing for perfection, an unrelenting pursuit of an idealized reality. So much so, it could be called Hyper-idealism. I depicted figures suspended in a pure, almost sacred space, where beauty held something absolute, unbreakable. But over time, I came to understand that external perfection was not enough. My gaze then began to shift, toward another place: childhood.
