Humans are inherently greedy, greed has obscured our reason and nature-loving eyes, leading us to the brink of destruction! When humans destroy nature, they exploit it and brutally destroy the living environment! So many species have disappeared!
Then one day people had to suffer a reaction from nature, everything started from natural disasters, pollution and food shortages. His works refer to the change in living environment as a result of man's destruction of nature, then the crowd cowers in fear and searches for a way out in the darkness of nature, sky! White Clouds and Architectural surroundings, They lead each other to find a new land, find a new place to live in the dark sky with almost no life left for other species. The ocean is vast but there are no more fish, and fish for humans are only found in dreams and stories! We take away too many things from nature because of greed, nature needs to be healed and that is also the way to lead humanity to a beautiful life!

The coded language on canvases reflects my moral, social and cultural constructs. They are my self-images like mirrors through with I try to question the expectations and judgments which defines us and distort us according to the need and necessity of a society.By embracing abstract and symbolic language, I invite viewers to delve deeper into the complexities of identity, questioning preconceived notions and investigate the multifaceted nature of human existence. Through my work, I explore the assumptions that shape our understanding of others. I aim to provoke contemplation and encourage viewers to question the origins of their preconceptions. By dismantling ingrained notions, I hope to foster a more open-minded and empathetic dialogue about the diverse and nuanced nature of humanity.

Rajesh kumar Yadav
INDIA
This vibrant painting exhibits a melange of abstract and figurative elements, harmoniously blended to evoke a dreamlike quality. Dominated by a rich blue palette, the background suggests a nocturnal cityscape with hints of architectural forms. At the forefront, a golden, stylized figure with a patterned, swirling hairdo and closed eyes exudes an air of serene contemplation.
Draped in a red garment, the figure's presence is both commanding and tranquil. A singular red bird appears to be released or attracted by the figure's outstretched hand, adding a dynamic contrast to the composition. The use of gold and red against the blues creates a sense of warmth and depth. The painting's textured surface and the interplay of colors convey a sense of movement and emotion, inviting the viewer to interpret the narrative within this enigmatic scene.

Rozalia Petre Sütő

As a child from the countryside, the natural materials were always important to me. I even had an artistic period of walnut wood stain, but I regularly use family textile and lace remnants in my works. This work is from my latest period. I used the hemp woven fabrics made in my family as a base, supplemented with other leftover materials. I wanted to memorialise with it my mother who taught me the importance and the value of recycling, and whose woven remains I used in the form of mixed mixed technique.
I was born in 1952 in Transylvania as a Hungarian national, and I live with my family in Hungary (Martonvásár) since 1989. I majored in graphic art at the university of Cluj-Napoca. It's been a long time since as an artist or as a private person I've not thrown away anything. Someone else's trash - crumpled wrapping paper, old, damaged needlework, tattered lace - I incorporate various things into my works according to my vision. I give my works a final look by painting them with acrylic paint.

This painting is based on Deleuze and Guattari's idea of rhizome, as opposed to a tree-shaped structure. In contrast to the metaphor of the tree as a holistic body that a person embraces as if there is integrity and meaning for himself, his life and his history, here, the lines refer to the rhizome metaphor, starting with the representation of networks then turning into different forms. What can this structure with horizontal spread through networks tell us? While the tree metaphor offers us a more holistic meaning for humans and existence with its deeply spreading roots, trunk and branches, the rhizome theory creates a more complex model of the randomness, relativity and unknowability of existence. These rhizomes suggest a gigantic expansion that allows for different occurrences and situations, such as networks. At this point, the universe resembles a playground that God shaped with a doodle game.

As a Sri Lankan, I live in a lot of economic pressure. We as a family love to pursue our dreams. The dark thorns are tangled in our boat of life. The national bird represents the Sri Lankan identity in the work "Wali Kukula" representing our country. People are struggling economically. Here I am portraying the people who are under pressure due to these economic, social, cultural, religious, political issues. I am talking about the story of common people including me.

The polar bear has become a symbol of climate change. So the artwork is ink and acrylics, on pages from a childrens book, glued into a canvas. In the foreground you can see the backwards evolution of humans, throwing trash over the shoulders and turning into apes again. Above hangs a gloomy cloud, depicting the downfall of mankind.
I am a climate change artist, with focus on humans role in the environmental crisis. I wish to depict the connection between humans and nature, and the dynamics between the two.

There are many kinds and designs of kerchief, but I have chosen one of mine which is mostly I used seen in our society, I was inspired by their styles of wearing, it changes the whole environment, that thieves are using it to protect themselves, and actors are using it for a getup which is assigned to them, decent peoples wear it for a feel of respect and good looking, and in last it is another unique style that is more famous farmers are wearing it as under garment like (Gaod in Sindhi, and Dhoti in Urdu). I simply observed and started to draw them in my imagery that I personally like to wear it.

Safa Büte
Türkiye
Safa Bute, like his work, has inspired respect and admiration as he emerged from the obscurity of humble beginnings to become one of the most widely recognized and beloved artists in his homeland, Turkey. In the summer of 1987, Bute emerged as an artist and created the art technique now known throughout Turkey as the “Safa Bute Style”.
Although Bute was unable to pursue the educational path he dreamed of as a child, he created a new style of art that has been the subject of increasing interest all over the world, as collectors in Europe and the USA follow his marks. Art critics reviewing exhibits agree that the style is unique.
Now he is creating his art works at his studios located in Niğde city of Turkey.

Adana City International Contemporary Art Biennale 2006, Honorary Member of Cultural Association Terra Dell´Arte in Italy 2005, Member of the Artistic Committee of the International Arad Biennale of Contemporary Art in Romania. 2003, 4th award winner of the International Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art in Italy. 2001, 2000 WAIS People Choice Award Winner at the “Ten Top World Artists Invitational Show” organized by Artists Own Registry in Australia. 1999 Nominated to the Time Magazine online poll in the category of Most Influential Artist of the 20th Century 1998 Featured artist at ArtQuest in USA CRITIQUE OF SAFA BUTE’S ART, By JOHN T. SPIKE, Art Critic and Historian December 10th 2003 at Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art “These pieces remind me of sacred works that were formerly kept in museums in drawer compartments. Such works would be taken out by scholars on occasions to be studied and meditated upon with increasing respect. “These drawings have an incredible level of skill. Literally thousands and thousands of finely drawn lines make up each image”, (Mr. Spike then pointed to his personal favourite piece and said to the audience)…”it probably contains ten thousand lines.” “These are drawings which take an inordinate amount of time to complete, and crucially, are utterly dependent upon the complete finesse in creating the lines without a single error. “The pieces show an astounding control of tonal values through the skillfull use of line. (Mr Spike demonstrated his point by pointing to the gradations in one of the works). “I consider them very exceptional pieces of work and will return to study them again”. By James Langston Art Educator Art Consulate for the Florence Biennale When I first met Safa I knew I had met an extraordinary artists because of the intrinsic quality found in his art works. Everyone walking by his display stopped and slowly slid into his intricate pieces. Each piece takes you into another time period; they seem to have been taken from some monastery study and made by monks under candlelight. Every image that Safa has made has the ability to leave an “after image” on your mind, forcing one to come back to look again. Can one work contain so much information, such strong emotions and a timeless quality? This man’s works do. I consider Safa Bute to be a master, a draughtsman of a long lost skill and one of the future legends of Art.
