Art in Design
Curated Expressions
Artists, installations, and collaborations that bring meaning to space.
Eight voices, one through-line: light, gesture, and matter. This annual compendium gathers the artists and designers we published over the year to trace an intimate map of contemporary sensibilities. We open with the suspended clarity of Iraxe Arteta and close with the luminous density of alabaster in Francesco M. Messina—an arc that moves from silence to substance.
We are excited to present this special art edition of THECORE, showcasing the creativity and innova- tion of both emerging and established artists. This edition features diverse voices, from Nicole Anastas’ intricate fabric manipulation to Fernanda Cervera and Gabriela Madrazo’s bold abstractions, and Orfeo Quagliata’s masterful glass sculptures. Also featured are JBSTRCT’s minimalist silhouettes and Rita Sánchez’s exploration of cultural heritage.
Explore our special Art Edition featuring the inspiring talent of seven multicultural artists. Discover personal stories and captivating works from abstract to realism and sculpture. Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Montse Zúñiga, Duval, Uta Kästner, and more.
