Artist of the Day, August 22, 2026 : Selçuk Dizlek, a German sculptor, light artist (#2612)

Selçuk Dizlek was trained at the prestigious Nuremberg Art Academy, he has a special talent for blurring the lines between different creative worlds. When you look at his art, you are not just seeing a sculpture. Instead, you are looking at a beautiful conversation between painting, physical objects, reliefs, viewer interaction, and light art. The big unifying thread in everything he creates is the line itself. He uses lines like a signature, sometimes stretching them through the air like a physical sketch in the room, and other times letting them glow as bright, tracking paths of light.

His style is crisp, geometric, and abstractly concrete, but it never feels cold. That is because his artwork features a rich and surprising mix of everyday materials, including polished metal, raw concrete, ceramic tiles, and smooth plexiglass. Above all else, he is deeply fascinated by light, treating it not just as a way to illuminate a room, but as a solid, sculptural material you can almost touch. For many years now, his absolute passion has been crafting glowing light boxes, tall light steles, and mesmerizing color-space objects. By using reflective, fluorescent, and see-through materials, he creates geometric structures that constantly change color and depth depending on where you stand, turning the simple act of looking into an interactive, magical experience.

Artist of the Day, August 21, 2026 : Vladimir Kolosov, a Canadian emerging artist, painter (#2611)

Born in the USSR, Canadian artist Vladimir Kolosov (1962) is a prominent neo-surrealist whose work bridges visual art, science, and philosophy. Now based in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, his diverse academic background in mathematics, physics, psychology, and music deeply informs his multidisciplinary creative practice.

Kolosov investigates human consciousness and time using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastels. As a master colorist, his vibrant, metaphorical compositions blend figurative and abstract elements to challenge viewers' perceptions of memory and identity. This enigmatic style is anchored in surrealism, metaphysical art, and abstract expressionism, as seen in major works like "Hidden Thoughts Are Leaking Out."

His acclaimed portfolio has earned international exhibition space across North America and Europe, alongside unique global collaborations like Italy's "Colours of My Ice-Dreams" project.

Beyond the canvas, Kolosov drives the contemporary art dialogue as a leading critic, author, and curator. He regularly publishes essays in international journals and authored the 2022 career retrospective “Vladimir Kolosov Through the Looking Glass.” As a member of the International Association of Art Critics and Co-Founder of the VOYZX Fine Art Project, he remains an influential force in shaping the global platform for modern metaphysical painting.
