After an incredible journey with Gallery Nord, it's time for me to turn the page and see what next great adventure awaits. A heartfelt thank you to each artist who I was fortunate enough to work with; without your creativity and talent, our gallery walls would remain empty. To all of our wonderful and loyal patrons, I also say thank you. Your curiosity and passion for art have made for some memorable and beautiful evenings at Nord. I wish you all a beautiful and creatively driven path.

Objects made from paper, or inspired by it, are being elevated to artistic heights. Whether crinkled or cut out, print’s age-old medium is a material of modern design.

"If the spectator finds that my paintings are a kind of defiance of 'common sense', he realizes something obvious. I want nevertheless to add that for me the world is a defiance of 'common sense'."

Why is it that in thousands of portraits done all over the world, artists emphasize the left side of the subject's face? There's a bias here, and it's hiding in our brains.
