Readers,

Welcome to this month’s issue of ArtSloth, where we explore the many ways artists turn experience into form. Each practice in these pages carries its own language, yet together they speak of resilience, memory, and the search for connection.

You’ll meet Riccardo Matlakas, a multidisciplinary artist whose performances and installations respond to cultural and political contexts, rooted in social justice and philosophical inquiry. Discover Suzann Kaltbaum, who transforms travel and photography into playful digital collages, inviting viewers to see the familiar with fresh eyes. Connect with Kayla Coulter, who explores resilience and mental health through hyper-realistic detail, emphasizing art as a tool for connection and healing. And finally, marvel at Olga Belova, who paints luminous wildlife compositions on pure silk, honoring both the beauty and fragility of nature in unique, collectible works.
