There`s something so enchanting about `Golden Chrysalis` by Andrada @andrada.gallery. You can easily get lost in the textures and symbolism.
Andrada`s work feels deeply connected to nature... its cycles, its stillness, its transformation, and the delicate relationship between the tangible and something a little more mysterious.
"I seek to distinguish the lines between dream and reality through different styles and compositions."

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW // The Haunting Daydreams of Mary Carroll
Mary Carroll’s @_marycarroll_, body of work in collaboration with RJD Gallery @rjdgallery, is equal parts haunting and comforting. It holds space for complex narratives of humanity’s harsh relationship with nature all whilst showcasing the peaceful daydream that could blossom if nature could only take back what’s rightfully theirs.

👑 Congratulations to 2nd Prize Winner of the 2026 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, 33PA @poetsartists Drawing Award: @winwallaceart with his work, “Upon Encountering Cerberus” (charcoal, conte’ and pencil)
Win Wallace was born in South Carolina and is currently based in Lockhart, Texas. His recent practice focuses on pencil, conte’ and charcoal portraits, as well as ink drawings. Since high school, Wallace has played in bands and made scores of flyers for underground punk and noise rock shows. Over the years, he created posters for bands like the Melvins, Neurosis, Sleep, Helios Creed, The Jesus Lizard, DMBQ, Animal Collective, Scratch Acid, The Dead Kennedys and many others. He moved to Austin in the mid 1990’s to study drawing at the University of Texas. His drawings on paper are made with simple materials populated by fictitious individuals. Characters that are as rooted in art history, as they are nestled among the flora and fauna of nature. The work explores the interconnectedness of all things, even the irreconcilable forces of hope and despair in a fragile world. A perfect harmony may not exist, but perhaps an uneasy balance can be possible.

👑 Congratulations to 3rd Prize Winner of the 2026 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, 33PA @poetsartists Drawing Award: @hiroshihayakawaart with his work, “Sanctuary” (Graphite on bristol board)
Hiroshi Hayakawa’s highly detailed realistic graphite drawings of human figures and portraits magically capture a dreamy-sensual aura, a connection between surreal energy and human beauty. They remind us of an experience of ephemeral beauty and a transient nature of our existence. This piece “Sanctuary” is about emotionally and physically creating a safe place in human connections. It describes a balancing act of being selflessly giving without unconditionally surrendering and being innocently open without becoming susceptible to harm.

INSIDE ISSUE 54 // How does art retain its meaning and value during times of uncertainty, such as war, environmental crises, and economic instability?
"Moments of crisis remind us how fragile the structures upon which we build our lives truly are. That is why I believe art becomes especially important in such times – not because it offers certainty, but because it allows us to confront uncertainty without looking away. While crises often reduce people to statistics, headlines, or political narratives, art draws attention to experiences that resist simplification. I do not believe the value of art lies in providing ready-made answers. For me, it is valuable when it carries a certain weight – a discomfort that encourages us to search for answers within ourselves. That weight may take the form of an uncomfortable question, a visual friction that exposes an unwanted truth, or a stain of colour that disrupts an otherwise harmonious image."
