Milne Publishing is proud to present Artist Talk Magazine issue 21. This issue is dedicated to celebrating all aspects of art.

Everyone featured within this issue have given interesting, in-depth, honest accounts about themselves, their work, views and ideas. In addition to the amazing images of the work they have produced, which I know you the reader will enjoy and be inspired by.

Thank you to everyone who entered our open call.

The cover of this issue is by Mónica Esgueva, titled Connection.

“This artwork depicts the importance of being connected to your inner self. It means deeply knowing your values, vision and motivation and beliefs in life, and it takes a great deal of continuous self-awareness and introspection.

For me, being connected to my inner self means being connected to the ultimate truth we are all linked with, the inner knowing.

When we are not connected to our soul, we may experience some external physical signals our body sends us —anxieties, dissatisfaction, depression, fear. 

We then live our life merely on the surface, repeating destructive patterns, surviving instead of thriving, tangled up in the stories we make up and refuse to let go of, languishing in the abyss of an existence without purpose.

Many people have a poor relationship with themselves. They strive for external satisfaction whilst their inner dialogue is judgmental, critical, and negative. The truth is, they do not even know who they are under all the layers of programming, fear, and anxiety they have built up throughout the years. So many of us go through life disconnected from our inner self, looking for something else (or someone else) to complete us.

My paintings are always uplifting. They aim to show a different path, an alternative perspective to the negative view we tend to accept as the inevitable truth of our world. It is all a matter of interpretation. What you focus on, it expands. People actually crave lasting satisfaction and fulfillment. This can only be achieved through a profound connection with themselves, with their essence. 

It is what this artwork shows. That is the only way we can find serenity and balance. When we draw our awareness deeper inwards, we begin to feel supported, guided, and at peace.”
