    Why Old Masters Matter to Artists II

    Why Old Masters Matter to Artists II: Leonardo da Vinci & the Power of Observation In Episode 94 of Art Talk, we dive deep into the timeless art of observation—through the eyes of one of history’s greatest minds: Leonardo da Vinci. This episode explores how Da Vinci’s approach to seeing the world can radically transform your own creative process. In an age of instant gratification and visual overload, learning to slow down and truly observe is more powerful—and more necessary—than ever. We’ll unpack how Leonardo’s method of deep observation shaped his art, and how modern artists can apply these same principles to create more intentional, meaningful work. This conversation invites you to ask better questions, see beyond the surface, and move past merely copying what’s in front of you.

  • What Art Evokes in our Brain

    What Art Evokes in our Brain
    2025/02/25
    In Episode 91 of Art Talk, I discuss wat art evokes in our brain. Based on Neurological research in the Mauritshuis in the Netherlands, art electrifies the Brain. This of course is goed news for artists who paint. Looking at real art stimulates the brain on multiple levels. It sparks excitement, ignites the imagination, and compels deep thought. The emotional response to authentic paintings was ten times stronger than to their reproductions. Let that sink in. What art evokes in our brains is ten times stronger. https://mauritshuis.nl https://karinmerx.com/contact https://patreon.com/karinsarttalk

  • A Conversation With Agnes Gomori

    A Conversation With Agnes Gomori
    2024/12/31
    Episode 90 is the last of this year 2024 and I have a conversation with Agnes Gomori about art and spirituality and how we as artists adapt that in our art as well as experience it to create specific art. For each of us it works differently but we both know that everything is energy and that, when we visited Tate Modern together in June, both tired, our energy uplifted us, giving energy. This will, however, be slightly different than usual, we truly have a conversation about what spirituality means to us and how it plays into our lives and art. Meaning, I am not asking Agnes specific questions alone, she also asks me, which is a fun experiment. Website Agnes Instagram Agnes Facebook Agnes Contact me
