ARTIST OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2021 Winners

Anita Bartos . Austria

Artist Anita Bartos perceives the world very sensitively, its fragrances, colours, movements, she watches people’s behaviour and their stories. Her senses absorb the reality, dreams and their connex. All ingredients which she encounters and takes in every day, she processes in her own way, re-evaluates, recasts, recombines and presents in her artistic manifestation. Collages are for the author an expression of her inner liberty and it allows the viewer to peek in Anitas internality.

Simon Walther . Switzerland

As a child, I tried drawing and painting. I can still remember that my parents hung up all the drawings in the apartment and turned them into a large poster wall. When I was at school I took design courses and in 2001 I painted the Arc de Triumph on canvas for the first time. After rediscovering art and painting for myself in 2018, I paint with pouring media, structure pastes and use various aids. I am fascinated by the different consistencies of the colors. Abstract art frees me and is fun.

Vesna Bursich . Italy

This work is important to me. It is a project whose journey has a theme that explores different technical possibilities, which, in turn, may offer different readings. They add meaning and that’s what matters most to me. Unlike my past work, where I described myself, this project takes my gaze away from me. I tried to depict the sliver of a difficult moment for us all. A critical moment, fraught with errors and problems that have been long neglected and that must be addressed. We have a surplus of words. Perhaps they should shrink, to allow us to reflect on our priorities.
