Readers,

Welcome to ArtSloth’s second release of the year! This edition is a vibrant collection that explores how art reflects who we are, the influence of technology, and how emotional and cultural histories shape our narratives.

In these pages, you’ll encounter artists pushing boundaries across mediums. Gaya Lastovjak’s layered, three-dimensional paintings confront the complexities of human nature, addressing the tension between good and evil. Journey with Björn Karlsson’s surreal illustrations, where science fiction and comic art explore time and technology. Discover how Sylwia Suchara’s analogue collage work rewrites personal and cultural memory, embracing imperfection and reinvention. You'll also find Laura Covaci’s haunting compositions capturing solitude and transformation, while Krishi Shah’s dreamlike landscapes remind us of our profound emotional bond with nature. We also feature Risica Caputi, whose journey into art began unexpectedly after fracturing her dominant wrist.
