Art Interviews
Noah Latif Lamp through time
Today there is such a variety of different artists in the visual art scenery, so many diverse personalities with their own complexity, all bringing different attributes and expression to the art world. The ones I love the most are those who above all designate knowledge and experimentation as the main guideline for their artistic development. This category of artist is continuously seeking for a new creative epiphany, they continue to elevate themselves artistically and socially, and set no boundaries to accomplish it. When the epiphany happens and it looks like they have found a productive peace, a creative lay-back moment, this is when they start again – looking for new challenges. Noah Latif Lamp embodies every aspect and nuance of the artist I have described above and, in my opinion, that any contemporary artist should exemplify. I met Noah a few years ago in Amsterdam and I have soon enough become obsessed with his talent and his huge capability to experiment and to challenge himself continuously and regardless of the huge appreciation he is already getting from the art world. Noah has the colossal virtue of having never been afraid of becoming an avantgarde and risking to be ignored due […]

Shahina Jaffer Interview
Shahina Jaffer is not only a fine and developed artist, but an intellectual and active person towards the social and cultural scene. She considers art sort of a universal language and she has the courage and audacity to transfer that in her style. The result is an extremely pathological and emotional style, abstract and subjective, therefore opened to different interpretation from the viewer. This builds up a sort of interaction between the parties, the artist/artwork and the viewer and this interaction is completely driven by the perception the viewer has of her talent. Carlo Tozzi, st-Art founder and art director Where have you grown up? I grew up in a small town in Surrey England, called Hersham, Walton on Thames, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by open fields and the river Thames, and this is where I formed a strong connection to nature. That still Influences many aspects of my work. A lot of my creative projects include aspects of social inclusion, because from a young age, I understood that art is a universal language, that can transcend barriers and also help us relate to people from different backgrounds. At the age of 8 years old, I was […]

The art with no barriers and no conditions of Luna de Jesus Licea
‘Luna de Jesus Licea is not only an extremely talented artist, but a very interesting and articulated personality. He reminds me so much of the artists from the 80s and their approach to art with no barriers and no conditions. Luna considers art his safe place from reality and his possibility to express himself in a way words could never do. Being an artist myself I can deeply understand and appreciate his position and feelings. Art is a trigger to unleash our most deep sensations and unexpressed desires, but even our recondite fears. To my eyes it appears clear his appreciation of Pop and street artists, like Jean Michel Basquiat. His mixed media pallet, with oils, acrylics, markers is so dense of symbolism and anthropological subjects. He touches with his brush so many society problems and displays them with extreme courage and no respect, just as a real artist should do. Like all free artists he doesn’t find himself comfortable in classifying his style or the artist who influenced him….his statement “At the end of the day my life, my memories, my struggles and just my day to day thoughts influence and inspire my art” is the best summarization of his […]
