Editorial — ART MAG 29 Autumn 2025 : Art on a Human Scale

Delphine Jonckheere _ artmag novembre décembre 2025 EDITO

This autumn issue keeps a simple promise: to look at art on a human scale, without losing the reference points that help us understand it.
At the heart of the magazine, Flo Muliardo’s series Les Enfants Rois asserts one clear truth — the dignity of childhood — through direct portraits, bold colors, and a restrained, precise pictorial language. Her commitment to the Enfants de Manasté foundation is not a backdrop but a grounding force: here, painting becomes encounter, responsibility, and care.

Artist Flo Muliardo poses next to one of her paintings from the Les Enfants Rois series, depicting a young child with large blue eyes, surrounded by bright, contrasting colours — red, yellow, pink and blue — topped with a golden crown and the words LOVE and QUEEN. The scene illustrates the artist's expressive and colourful universe, celebrating the dignity and strength of childhood.

Editorial Line : Holding onto the Real

Around this beating heart lies the essence of ART MAG — a focus on artists who approach reality with patience and precision.
Yves-Marie Yvin, Rosine Le Noane, Dannie Launay, Daniel Derepas, Mezz Zapharelli, David Bouyou, and Joshua Sucré-Zimmerman each offer distinct gestures, materials, and rhythms that together compose a living landscape of contemporary art.

A colourful work by Mezz Zapharelli, depicting a stylised portrait of a bald man with an expressive face, smoking a cigarette, against a graphic red, white and blue background. A black bird silhouette hovers above his head, evoking a cinematic and pop universe. This painting combines humour, visual tension and popular culture, characteristics of Mezz Zapharelli's style.

Feature : Art Valuation and Its Meanings

Understanding also means demystifying. Our feature “Valuation: the Value of Art or the Art of Value?” dismantles the illusion of the all-encompassing number. The market’s notion of “value” can reassure, guide, or mislead. Between sales, galleries, platforms, and narratives, we offer a pragmatic compass — clear and useful — without ever forgetting what truly matters: what an artwork is worth to you.

On the left, a colourful architectural structure evokes a miniature church; in the centre, a circular table displays urban models; on the right, a large curved wall with fluorescent green, orange and grey geometric patterns. Natural light emphasises the architectural and dialogical dimension of the space. art mag magazine
