sandruk: jewelry that feels. Sandra Keraite

Some creations are not meant only to be worn – they are meant to be felt, experienced, and lived. Such is the jewelry of Lithuanian artist Sandra Keraitė: slow, sensitive, open. Living between Mexico and Portugal, Sandra creates under the name sandruk, born out of a deep inner need to speak about the beauty that lies in imperfection and fragility. Her works intertwine dried seeds, laconic minimalist forms, and raw, brutal surfaces into unique silver pieces, where the imprinted marks resemble carefully guarded memories – reflections of life’s flow and traces of the past.

Sowing Art, Cultivating the Gaze: A Conversation with Laure Boucomont

In Toury-sur-Jour, at the heart of the peaceful landscapes of the Nièvre, a family farm turned site for artistic experimentation has, for over a decade, been weaving an intimate connection between art, nature, and the living world. It is here that Laure Boucomont, an art historian trained at the École du Louvre, gradually brought to life a unique project—both deeply rooted in a rural territory and resolutely focused on contemporary creation. Initially driven by informal encounters with artists, then structured through the Le Delas Foundation, this adventure took on a new form in 2021 with the creation of the association Fertile.

Rhizomes et Lumières : Le Voyage Artistique de Régis Sénèque

In a world where images are everywhere but often emptied of meaning, the work of Régis Sénèque powerfully and gently reminds us of art’s ability to connect memories, bodies, and territories. A multidisciplinary artist, he grounds his practice in a journey that is both intimate and political, where family history intertwines with collective history, and where material—coal, gold, archival images, performance—becomes language.

The Children’s Room by Mykolas Sauka: A Journey Through Wood and Wonder

The Children's Room, an exhibition by Mykolas Sauka, delves into a universe as fascinating as it is unsettling, exploring the intricacies of human existence and the world around us. Beneath its innocent title lies a world far from idyllic, where a veil of purity seems to envelop the exhibited works. The deformed and enigmatic bodies that populate this space captivate the eye, amplifying the contrast between the apparent safety suggested by the title and the strange and complex reality that unfolds before visitors.

Love stories by Julie de Sousa

On a sunny day in May, I arrived at the mysterious "Grand Amour" hotel, located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. After taking the elevator to the 5th floor, I walked through dark hallways adorned with photographs of passionate couples and lovers, love notes, and walls covered in writings. Until that day, I had never conducted an interview in a hotel room. This ambiance transported me to another era. Free, beautiful, unrestrained, and shameless... This scenario was created for me and photographer Julie De Sousa by Joanna Cohen, her artistic coordinator and curator of her first exhibition "New Loves: Intimate Explorations Through the Lens" which took place at Discowork - a new coworking/art gallery space in Paris. It was thanks to Joanna that I discovered Julie's work. Her photographs, full of shamanism, tenderness, and nostalgia, intrigued me greatly. So, I decided to interview this promising photographer to learn more about her.

The Simplicity of Magic – Alexandra Hedison

Let’s talk with Alexandra Hedison - an inspiring photographer who creates magic by experimenting in her studio and darkroom. Her photographic work takes us to a vast, incredible universe. Growing up in Los Angeles in the family of actor David Hedison, she thought she would follow the path of acting. And indeed she did, starring in numerous Hollywood television shows and films. Photography was always in the background - something she considered a hobby until it finally overtook all other activities. Since 2002, she has been actively involved in the world of photographic art, experimenting with various photographic techniques. According to Alexandra, each of her works is a meeting, both architectural and natural, between the individual and the immensity of the landscape. “It’s in this suspended state that the unusual and unexpected arise and a kind of abstraction emerges.” Alexandra’s exhibition “A Brief Infinity,” is her latest work recently exhibited in Paris at H Gallery. This is not the first time I am presenting exceptional artworks from this gallery. After viewing Alexandra Hedison’s exhibition, I couldn’t resist interviewing the artist and for that, I thank her.
