EDITOR’S NOTES
Spring Issue
A
s the days grow longer and the first hints of warmth touch the air, we find ourselves drawn to new horizons. Spring is not just a season; it’s a mindset — a time to step outside, explore, and rediscover beauty in both familiar places and hidden corners. In this issue, we begin our journey along the vibrant shores of Brighton, uncovering its best-kept seaside wonders. From the historic pier to tucked-away creative spaces, Brighton’s spirit blends art, culture, and coastline in ways only a seaside town can. From there, we invite you into the studios and stories of the incredible artists featured in this edition. Each voice offers something unique — from the intricate engravings of Ghahramanpouri, whose piece Eternal Grace earned the prestigious RBSA Award 2025, to the bold and expressive work of Cedryk Etienn, who pushes the limits of form and texture. This issue also celebrates artistry in its many forms, including Chef Dean's culinary brilliance, which treats every plate as a canvas. Meanwhile, Katja Luhrs adds a bilingual twist, presenting her creative world in both English and German,
reminding us how art easily crosses language barriers. We’re thrilled to showcase emerging talents like Mohaiman Sultana Miva alongside established names like the late Bettina Heinen-Ayech, capturing the broad spectrum of contemporary creativity. And for those who seek constant innovation, Carysmatic’s bold explorations and Hemant Dhane’s boundary-breaking techniques offer fresh perspectives on what’s possible. Finally, we close this season’s journey with a spotlight on Jacob Chandler, making 2025 a year of artistic triumph whose sculptural work speaks of movement, presence, and the beauty found in solid form. His ability to freeze fleeting moments into lasting shapes perfectly captures the spirit of spring — fleeting, transformative, and full of energy. Thank you for joining us for this Spring Issue, a celebration of creativity in motion. May these stories and artworks inspire you to step outside, create boldly, and embrace this season's unexpected beauty
