Genesis, an unfathomable eight-year long work, that took the Brazilian documentary photographer Sebastião Salgado to 32 countries, explores the earth in the way it must have originated and the way its vast undiscovered stretches have remained untouched

My Lovers sculpture emerged as a tribute to the transforming power of Love. I was moved to capture Love as a timeless and elemental force, the eternal pull of a tide drawing two people together.

Despite straddling both art and science, Briony Marshall can see both differences and commonalities between the two disciplines.

Ione's current aforementioned project is her most ambitious yet. 'Sanctae' - a Portrait of Secular Saints features 21 eight-foot portraits of female nudes, each of whom will bear a gold-leaf halo

Last week we travelled down to rural Sussex to interview collage artist Joe Webb in his new studio about his up coming solo show Pulp Friction - 8 June - 21 July at Hang-Up Gallery.

He's a huge name with a big chapter in the history books - now the largest ever portrait of Nelson Mandela is to go on sale, priced at a handsome £19...

The taxi ride is worth every penny. The traffic, the terrible roads that make the car bounce and shake in a bone jangling fashion, then the bridge and a view of the ultimate shining high rise city. Anybody who is not elated by their arrival into Manhattan is missing a piece of soul.

'Athletes' gave me the same feeling that I experienced decades ago when I first saw 2001, a film that no one could have been prepared for.

Like Stanley Kubrick, you can feel this choreographer's utter dedication, his complete self-belief.

This week, I spoke to Swedish contemporary artist Ylva Kunze during her first London show, Artist in Residence. Her canvases, informed by the woods and lakes of her childhood in Småland, are deeply affecting, filled with kinetic fervour.

Picasso's Pack is the next solo show by Elinor Evans opening at the Signal Gallery in Shoreditch, London, on the 16th of May. Evans recreates domestic scenes and uses animal masks to explore the way we interact in groups, or packs as she says.

The UK art scene is continuing to expand into new, attention-grabbing genres, with numerous exhibitions taking place and new artists cropping up every year. At Artfinder, we are privy to being exposed to a lot of this exciting new talent, and it looks like 2013 is set to be one of the best years yet for emerging artists.

Meaning can be lost between tongues and translations, but art is understood instantly. The eyes, the mind, and the heart are fluent in its extraordinary language.

Last week saw the London unveiling of a brand new artist, at the prestigious Mead Carney Gallery in Mayfair, and there's already talk, not least the question being asked... is this the new Banksy?
