LUMAS VOICES:
Favorites of a founder

Of all artforms, photography holds a particularly strong emotional power. Heinrich Heidersberger was and remains one of the most important German photographers of the second half of the 20th century. What sets him apart is his special view of the world, which is clearly evident here. Subtle, yet full of elegance, he reminds us that beauty lies hidden in the everyday.

Ysabel LeMay's technique is one of a kind. She brings together hundreds of photographs to create stunning collages that capture and reimagine the beauty of nature. It’s rare to see someone work with such precision and intuition at once. The results are always breathtaking, revealing something new with every glance.

This piece in particular, and Marta Contreras Simó’s work in general, embodies for me the potential of AI art: She skillfully combines tradition and innovation by blending the latest technologies with her refined artistic sensibility. The result is something far beyond mere technical precision—it’s moving, sensual, and entirely new.

The sculpture by Paul Van Hoeydoncks, creator of the first artwork on the moon, is not only aesthetic, but it also tells a whole story, and for me, that is the essence of art. It is a symbol of the milestones of science – and the significance of art.
