SWARM MAG is a non-profit cultural and art-oriented magazine and artist-first platform mainly focused on Central and Eastern Europe and its up-and-coming art scene. Writers, fashion designers, musicians, visual artists, performers, conceptualists and others who are not indifferent to current affairs and our shared future, can find a home on our platform. We publish weekly under four overarching themes a year, each lasting about three months.

Amazing ❤️‍🔥 dark and beautiful

❤️‍🔥 Do you think Nostr is a good place for the creative community to grow? Is anyone here interested in the contemporary art of established and lesser known artists and illustrators? I would like to develop a discussion on this topic? If someone else is already discussing it on this platform, I would be happy to join or lead a discussion on this topic.

IRIDESCENT SYMBOLOGIES/ Marcelo Pinel has long been exploring themes which fascinate the inner child. His works translate archetypes, mythologies and spirituality into vivid animations, actualizing how humans have expressed the inexpressible across millennia. #art #swarmmag #artmagazine #artoftheday #artstr #nostr #animation #artist #gif #witchcraft https://video.nostr.build/f278ca585640adb43c71c305e7465fa5cdc1720389a99c12ac3241d4bf434e89.mov

VASE VISAGE / Have you ever seen ceramic artworks that could stare into your soul? Well, now you have. The idiosyncratic, whimsical and vibrant vases and decorative sculptures by Italian ceramist and illustrator Jimmy D. Lanza are always ready for a face-off. Meet the artist whose creation sits on the living room coffee table of Chiara Ferragni.

FINDING BASIS / “I know I'm making beautiful things but self-doubt can be a powerful confidence killer.” Enter the world of Zdeněk Vacek, a high-end jeweller, goldsmith and co-founder of the envelope-pushing Zorya brand. In the below interview, Zdeněk introduces his new eponymous label, reveals what is his “seed of peace” when creating, and how jewellery can defy entrenched social rituals.

ROOTS OF TASTE/ Especially in the art world (but applicable universally), savouring, storing, sustaining and protecting your creative stimuli and inputs is just as paramount as letting them flow. Our fourth 2023 theme, ROOTS OF TASTE, seeks to find visual representations of our deepest, inherent drives to create that both anchor and activate us. The theme's animation was custom-made by Hélène L. Vaneukem.
