Curator’s Choice
Curator’s Choice is an exclusive section of our magazine dedicated to highlighting the artists and artworks that stood out throughout 2025 for their excellence, vision, and commitment. This selection brings together artists who have actively collaborated with The Guide Artists during the year and whose work represents the highest standards of figurative painting and artistic integrity.

Before closing the year, we want to express our deepest gratitude. This 2025 allowed us to meet someone who has shown us respect, friendship, and mutual admiration. It has been a pleasure working alongside him on his book, his exhibition, and supporting his professional growth. We are speaking of Santi Pina, who features on one of our most meaningful covers of the year and embodies everything The Guide Artists represents: talent, dedication, and passion.

Our cover embodies this perfectly: Marissa Oosterlee. Her art, intense, technical and profoundly human, reflects that search for truth that we value so deeply. Her portraits, often submerged in water, invite us to look beyond the surface. In every face she paints there is a calm that arrives after the storm, a reminder that beauty is not found in perfection but in the sincerity of the process.

Each issue of The Guide Artists is the result of a commitment that goes far beyond publishing a magazine or a book. It reflects years of dedication, a sincere passion for figurative art, and a constant desire to offer artists a space that is dignified, transparent, and honest.
This month, however, invites us to reflect. Not on art itself, but on the attitudes that threaten its very essence: disrespect, envy, and the intent to damage what has been built with effort and love. It is disheartening to see that, in an environment that should be guided by sensitivity and mutual admiration, there are still those who choose to destroy rather than contribute.
Art, Ignorance, and the Reality of a Society Without Passion
We live in an era where art, the universal language that once symbolized depth, freedom, and redemption, has been reduced to mere spectacle. What was once created with soul is now produced with calculation. What once sprang from passion is now manufactured from the need for approval. In this new order of appearances, authenticity has become an endangered species.
Editorial – Issue 76
Even so, it’s not all struggle. Fortunately, we have an incredible community, artists, readers, followers, who support us, who write with kindness, who believe in our mission and help us grow every day. To them, to you, we owe so much. You are the energy that keeps us going when we feel we can’t. You are part of this family we’ve built with so much effort and dedication.
So, thank you. Thank you for being here, for valuing, for sharing, for trusting. Thank you for making The Guide Artists a living, free, and ever-evolving space.
May this September bring new beginnings, new challenges, and new ways to celebrate what we love most: art.v

At The Guide Artists, we feel this month as an opportunity to reconnect with our essence and rekindle what we love. That is why, after a necessary and strategic pause, Collector Masters®, one of our most cherished initiatives, returns with greater strength, clarity, and ambition than ever before. We could not let fade a project born from our commitment to contemporary figurative art, to building genuine bridges between artists and collectors, to offering a platform where quality art is valued, nurtured, and projected internationally.
