Warm greetings to all “Artistic Vision” readers in the October issue.

We have stepped into October, leaving behind the warmth and long days of summer, exchanging them for shorter, cooler, and sometimes rainier days. But that is not a bad thing — every season has its own beauty. Personally, I have changed my long-held order of preference for the seasons. For many, many years — since childhood — summer was always my favourite. We could hardly wait for the holidays to begin, for school to end, so we could go hiking, wander through forests, and swim in the river.

Today, things are different. I now prefer late spring and early autumn. Perhaps because by then everything is calm; the crowds disappear, and life slows down and quiets for a while. Everything becomes more peaceful and serene. That does not mean, of course, that I do not love the other seasons — I still enjoy swimming in the river and walking in the woods, though usually early in the morning when everyone is still asleep or late in the afternoon when most people are already heading home.

But enough of nostalgia — let us look back at what happened last month.

As you may know, one of my artworks, Frayed Silence, is currently exhibited in Paris, and the exhibition remains open until the 9th of October. For anyone interested, the address is: Galerie Thuillier, 13 Rue de Thorigny, 75003 Paris, France.

On Saturday afternoon, I spoke with one of the organisers, Ada Ferrandez, who told me that the entire exhibition has been a great success — needless to say, I am very pleased to hear that. During our conversation, we also discussed future collaborations, and she offered me the opportunity to become a “Loyal Artist” and continue exhibiting my works with them across Europe. Needless to say, I gladly accepted the offer, and I am truly happy that my artworks will soon be displayed throughout Europe. I will share more details about this in the upcoming newsletters.

In September, I made a short visit to London. As I am not typically a street photographer, this experience was well outside my comfort zone — but I do enjoy challenges. I wanted to create something special, and since I am very fond of charcoal paintings and drawings, I decided to try to replicate their aesthetic with my camera.

As I was only in London for a single day, I did not have much time and could not visit all the places I had planned. For that reason, I am already considering another visit later this year or early next year. I am still in the process of retouching the collection, so I am planning to make it public around mid-October. Once it is released, I will share the link so that you may view it — and I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

That would be all for the October newsletter. I truly appreciate that you took a few minutes of your time to read it.

See you next month.

With respect,
Csaba
