Process
William Rotsaert
By Brian D'Ambrosio From Bruges to Santa Fe, a painter translates memory, motion, and myth through color and curiosity. William Rotsaert paints in the language of color — heatwaves and highways, red-orange skies that shimmer with motion, and the flicker of gasoline flames under a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. His canvases pulse between abstraction and realism, fusing the discipline of the old Flemish masters with the freedom of the American West.

When the Work Looks Back
Artists like to believe we are the ones doing the looking. We stand before blank canvases, empty pages, untouched clay, glowing screens—deciding where meaning should begin, convincing ourselves that intention alone is enough. We call ourselves observers, architects, originators. We talk about vision as if it arrives fully formed, waiting patiently for our hands to catch up.

The Unnamed: Chronicles of a Faceless Journey
There is a VHS tape somewhere in my mind, dusty and forgotten, labeled simply "LIFE." It sits among relics I cannot name—fragments of bone, the architecture of a ribcage, remnants of what once was. I have been thinking about this tape recently, wondering if anyone would bother to play it. Wondering what they would find if they did.

The Woman Who Became a Mirror
In the history of performance art, few moments have struck the human conscience as sharply as what unfolded in a modest gallery in Naples in 1974. It was an experiment that involved no words, no movement, and no stage—only a woman, a table of seventy-two objects, and the unpredictable landscape of the human soul. To this day, Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 remains one of the most disturbing, enlightening, and unforgettable explorations of human behavior ever witnessed.

How to Develop an Idea Into a Story
Turning a simple idea into a powerful story is one of the most exciting parts of writing. Every author, whether beginner or professional, starts with a tiny spark: a thought, a scene, a question, or a moment of inspiration. But what makes a story truly memorable is not the idea itself—it’s how you develop it, shape it, and bring it to life. If you want to learn how to develop an idea into a story, you don’t need special talent or a perfect imagination. All you need is curiosity, structure, and the willingness to explore your idea from every angle.

The Day I Met a Future Version of Myself in a Train Station
I didn’t plan on taking the late train that night. I missed my original one, spilled coffee on my jacket, and honestly felt like the universe was punishing me for something I didn’t remember doing. The station was nearly empty—just a few scattered passengers lost in their own worlds.

The Revival of Analog: Why Artists Are Turning Back to Classic Mediums in a Digital World
Introduction In a world dominated by screens, software, and digital abridgments, the laborious, touch-and-go way of doing things in analog art might seem downright anachronistic. Yet in recent years, there has been a remarkable revival of interest in the traditional art media. From oil and watercolor paints to film photography, printmaking, and sculpture, artists are once again discovering the joy of creating in a manner that is regarded as thoughtful, tactile, and sensory-based.

psychedelic pattern art: a surrealist portfolio by ⸘jason alan‽. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
welcome to the vivid unconscious, a collection exploring the intensity of the world through non-naturalistic color and abstract patterns. this portfolio is split into two distinct yet stylistically connected series: psychedelic wildlife and surreal portraiture. whether depicting the familiar silhouette of a zebra exploding with vibrant geometry, or diving in the symbolic weight of psychological burdens with the piece titled "death," my work uses vivid contrast and expressionism to illuminate the energy and unseen tensions within life. i invite you to explore this world where the familiar is constantly shifting, intensely colored, and profoundly honest.
