This week I’d like to showcase the work of a contemporary artist from Slovakia, Martin Majerčák.  

Martin discovered watercolors just two years ago and immediately fell in love with the medium for its ability to capture the beauty of a fleeting moment.

Please follow Martin on Instagram, Facebook, check out his Etsy shop!

Ohio-based artist Jon Stucky explores the relationship between good and evil and the way different cultures perceive their everlasting fight. His unique paintings are inspired by the aboriginal cultures of Australia and New Zealand as well as by the art of Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. 

In his artworks, Jon combines different types of media like oil, acrylic, auto, airbrush, and spray paints combined with charcoal, chalk, and oil pastels.
