(What) is beautiful? This is the page where we share the artists and the artworks we particularly appreciate.

Not only painting, but art in its different forms and expressions (the most-discussed EtCetera in our name), to highlight the beautiful things that enlighten our world.

Because: “This work by Simay Kislaoglu is hypnotic. This woman’s gaze and pose, her perfect lines, and the lighting make the encounter with the viewer feel simultaneously real and surreal. It is a work that raises a thousand questions in me, starting with the subject’s expression, which is both austere and welcoming. What’s Beautiful is that there’s also a reference to the game of chess, with the two knights and the chessboard reflected in the fabric, and this contributes to making the work even more intriguing. Could there be a story behind that fabric?“
