John Bizas, Greece.John Bizas, Greece.John Bizas, Greece: Much of my art is intended to bring attention to the more painful and destructive elements of contemporary civilization. I mostly work with marble. Part of my stylistic and technical approach is to exploit and uncover the creative and physical possibilities embedded in the different materials.

Photos and descriptions from the artists.
 

This year (2025), we are publishing a list of works of art as gifts for the first time. It appears approximately six weeks before Christmas, so interested readers may still have a chance to contact the artists and order works – in most cases, however, only for the following year.

Because mass production is not our artists’ thing.

The emphasis is on small works of art.

But our gift list, by no means, refers to cheap works.

For the objects discussed here, the weight of the stone is less important: Today, a few kilograms can even be shipped across national borders at affordable costs using ubiquitous shipping services.

Some of the artists on our list are already handling this field very professionally.
