Artists paint her, authors write of her; the grand capital of Austria exceeds her reputation as an ordinary seat of government, a fact rooted in her geopolitical and cultural prestige, classical musical heritage, and the palatial architecture closely tied to the city’s monarchal history. Immediately, from the first look at the structures - giant, majestic limestone buildings rich in golden highlights - we are met w

The name. The craft. The people. A city destined for a legacy written into the very meaning of its name, Florence relishes in its grandeur history of art, wealth, conflict and rebirth. Its Italian name, Firenze - meaning "to flourish," - tells us of the city’s upbringing, present, and future, as the heart of the intellectual revival scene in Europe bound to forever be in its prosperous bloom. Vailed in air scorched dry by the star, the city scents of sun-warmed leather craft

Our analogue recording studio - the Supertone SonicLab - offers recording and production services for both client’s and its own stable of artists.” Suzy and Simon initially set up the Supertone Records label to distribute their own music, but later decided to open it up to other like-minded artists.

Suzie Starlite presents her newest Installation "Rising A Nation", the multi-sensory art project, at the Malaica Social Art Club in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, a UNESCO Creative City. Suzie admits that she has always been fascinated by the sight of laundry hanging on balconies and "granny panties" flapping shamelessly in the wind. This seemingly ordinary sight has made her think about all the women in our lives and their silent labors of love. "This is a celebratory exhibiti

Over time it had become evident that in a city as vast as this one, one could not navigate through the concrete anthill that was New York City without a view from above—whether that meant standing on a dumpster, someone’s entryway steps, or on top of a traffic light. This city was all about the perspective, and much like any other day, its streets would spring to life. Overflown with taxis and buses yellow and red, the avenues waited as everything made its turn – cars, motorb

Today, a portrait of the former Rector of the University of Latvia , Professor Indriķis Muižnieks, was unveiled in the Senate Hall of the University of Latvia, where it now joins the gallery of portraits of other ex-Rectors. The portrait of Muižnieks is the work of Latvian artist Ritums Ivanovs. LU rector Gundars Berzins: "The University of Latvia's tradition of displaying the portraits of former Rectors in the Senate Hall is a way of expressing gratitude for their contributi

After the long, exhausting day, not too different from any other Wednesday, Guiseppe Voite came home from his work at the local butchery, just around the corner from the very street he happened to live on. It was late, and Mr. Voite was too tired to worry about the time, as tomorrow was another day at the butchery, another day of work. Worn out, he decided to head straight for the bathroom, grabbing bits of slightly soiled, visibly rumpled, and yet not dirty enough for a wash

After years of creative exploration and collaboration with the Rothko Museum, Ritums Ivanovs transforms the former military arsenal into a Temple with four chapels. A series of paintings, divided and arranged to fit the structure of the arsenal building, continues the artist’s in-depth interest in the analysis of the language of portrait painting. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the pages of art history through Ritums Ivanovs' mastery and the intellectual legacy of Mark
