In this month’s issue, Modern Renaissance explores the contemporary classical revival — where heritage meets the avant-garde through an exploration of European artists and Latin American galleries.
​
In a quiet marriage of tradition and innovation, the December issue of Modern Renaissance turns its gaze toward contemporary artists who channel the masterful techniques and shadowed palettes of the classics. Across these pages, the human condition unfurls in rich strata of emotion, each layer tempered by an avant-garde impulse that keeps the past in dialogue with the present.​
​
The moody portraits of Manu De May, Artem Nosov, Dmittri Volkov, and Iryna Götz pulse with fervent emotion, their subjects’ faces becoming sites of intimate revelation. These works lures audiences into a meditative state, inviting contemplation of vulnerability, memory, and the existential terrain we all inhabit—rendered in profound reds, contemplative blues, and storm-lit grays. With echoes of Rembrandt, Chagall, and other masters, these portraits reimagine the enduring contours of human nature through a distinctly contemporary lens.
