Last weekend, I ventured to Lisbon’s emerging street-art district and was captivated by the sheer vibrancy of the murals. Local artists incorporate elements of Portugal’s maritime heritage into massive, kaleidoscopic wall paintings. It’s remarkable to see how these bold expressions transform overlooked corners into living cultural statements.

With all the buzz around new media art, it’s important not to forget the timeless allure of classic works. I’m starting a new monthly series examining a single masterpiece through multiple lenses—its historical context, the artist’s biography, and the evolving critical reception. This month, I’ll dissect Gustave Courbet’s “The Origin of the World,” exploring how what was once scandalous to the public eye has become a cornerstone for discussions about representation, sexuality, and authenticity in art. Stay tuned for a deep dive into one of modernity’s most provocative canvases.

I recently spoke with a Paris-based painter who uses pigments made from crushed rose petals and turmeric, blending old botanical traditions with contemporary motifs. Our conversation, which I’ll share in full next week, touched on sustainability, symbolism, and the slow disappearance of artisanal methods. It’s a thoughtful reminder that art not only decorates our walls but also narrates our shared history and evolving relationship with the natural world.

If you find yourself in Berlin this summer, be sure to experience the dynamic art festivals happening around the city. From pop-up photography exhibits in old industrial warehouses to street murals by international creatives, there’s an electric energy in the air. One of my favorites is a small festival dedicated to avant-garde ceramics. Sounds quirky, I know, but it reminds us that every medium, however humble, can be a powerful vessel for cultural expression.

This season, London’s contemporary art scene seems obsessed with the theme of memory. I’ve noticed it in several recent shows—each gallery weaving personal narratives into their installations. A highlight is the newly opened display at the Whitechapel Gallery, where a Belgian artist has transformed fragments of her grandmother’s home into a dreamy, tactile environment. It’s a perfect example of how modern art encourages us to question what we carry forward and what we choose to leave behind.

I’ve just returned from a superbly curated exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, featuring a series of installations that challenge traditional perspectives on digital media. The artists—primarily emerging creators from across Northern Europe—explore the intersection of technology, identity, and public space. I was particularly drawn to a sound-based installation that altered your perception of movement in the gallery. Next week, I’ll be sharing an interview with one of the curators who made these dialogues between contemporary life and art possible.
