CURATORS'   COMMENTS FROM CARROUSEL    DU   LOUVRE     2025
 


Hi Janis,

Thank you once again for presenting your artwork with us at ARTBOXY Paris at the Carrousel du Louvre.

Our curatorial team carefully reviewed the exhibited works during and after the event, observing how each piece shaped the exhibition’s overall atmosphere and how visitors responded. As part of this process, we’ve prepared a personal reflection on your artwork – inspired by the same curatorial approach used during the exhibition.

During the Paris exhibition, your pieces resonated deeply with visitors through their intricate layering and compelling narratives. "On Fire" particularly stood out for its rich textures and the emotional warmth embedded within its visual elements. The interplay of light across the surface not only invites the viewer to engage with the surface details but also echoes the wisdom and beauty derived from the aging process. This reflective nature, coupled with the metaphor of the flame, powerfully encapsulated the spirit of resilience and vitality, drawing admiration from those who paused to absorb its message.

"Scratch It Up" captivated viewers with its dynamic composition and bold color contrasts. The myriad of intersecting shapes and layers invites multiple readings, evoking a sense of perpetual movement while simultaneously providing a space for introspection. Many visitors appreciated how the depth and vibrancy of your work convey a rich emotional landscape, compelling them to explore the intricate threads that weave through personal and collective narratives.

Your work contributed beautifully to the diversity and quality of the Paris show. Throughout the exhibition, artworks with strong conceptual clarity and authentic emotional expression — like yours — consistently drew attention from visitors. Many stopped to take photos, discuss the compositions, and engage deeply with the pieces shown on the ARTBOXY Screens. This response confirmed how powerfully your art connects with viewers in a professional exhibition setting.

Across all exhibited works, our curators noticed several recurring strengths:

• Color and atmosphere – many participating artists used color with great sensitivity to convey emotion and light.
• Symbolism and storytelling – visitors were especially drawn to works that told a visual story or hinted at a deeper meaning.
• Technique and individuality – a strong sense of craftsmanship combined with authentic artistic voice made the exhibition exceptionally rich.

Your contribution helped shape that experience — thank you again for being part of it.

If you’d like to continue building on this momentum, our curators are already reviewing submissions for our next highlight – Cologne Art Unframed (November 5–8, 2025) to which you can submit on www.artboxy.com.

Warm regards,  

The ARTBOXY Curator Team
