ARTAROUND THECORE ANNUAL 2025/26

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.

IRATXE ARTETA

Essences of Light

From realism to an intimate abstract language: material, color, and silence.

CAROLIN KREUTZER

Space for self-reflection

Born in Hamburg in 1981, is a trained graphic designer who brings a

distinct methodology to her art.

KLAUDIA JURIĆ

Croatian artist transforming space and emotion into sculptural canvases.

With a background rooted in fashion and interior design, Croatian artist Klaudia Jurić creates meditative large-format works that blur the lines between art, space, and emotional memory.

CAT SPILMAN

Bold Abstract Expressionism in Contemporary Art

Cat Spilman is a London-based American contemporary artist whose work is defined by bold, expressive abstraction. Using house paint, crayons, and oil pastels, she creates compositions that feel both instinctual and deeply emotional.

RAMONA RUSSU

Gold within: Reflective layers

Discover Ramona Russu’s symbolic and textured art, blending gold leaf and emotional depth in a celebration of beauty and resilience.

LARA YOUSSEF NABAWY

Silhouettes of Silence: Sculpting Memory Through Minimalism

Lara Youssef Nabawy is a Geneva-based contemporary artist exploring identity, memory, and emotional depth through sculptural paintings. Her abstract silhouettes blend painting and sculpture, reflecting cultural influences and minimalist elegance.

SER CASASANDRA

HOLBOX

An artist’s house where art, wellness and the sea become a way of life.

On a quiet stretch of Holbox Island, far from high-rises and traffic, Ser Casasandra feels less like a hotel and more like arriving at an artist’s private home. Created by Cuban artist and writer Sandra Pérez Lozano, the property grew out of three elements that still define it today: art, healing and the living nature of Holbox.
