Dear Co-creators!

Welcome to Spring 2018, a brand new issue celebrating the diversity of artistic expression in a visually compelling package, brimming with vivid images as well as fantastic multimedia articles. I hope you enjoy our inspiring content.

This has been a very challenging issue to work on! Take the time to flip through the fantastic pages of this magazine and enjoy the fruits of our labor.  Our team, collaborators, writers, and artists put forward their best effort to create this issue in the midst of what I would call the most “dynamic” time of the year. We are preparing for our ATIM Masters Award Ceremony to recognize the artists that we bring to you in this issue and preparing our next publication “ATIM Top 60 Masters.” Coordinating all of this has been exciting but is no easy endeavor. My adrenaline rush has not stopped since the beginning of the year when we started working on this project, and only keeps rising as we approach the big date of April 27th for the ATIM Masters Award Ceremony.  It is so exciting to present and honor artists with well-deserved recognition in the event that we all look forward to at this time of the year.

This issue brings to you the artists featured in the “Best Of International Arts” exhibition, being showcased at our booth #149 at Art Expo New York.  It also includes an exceptional article by our Managing Editor, Yadira Roman, on the top emerging artists to keep your eyes on – it’s an incredible selection of the top 10 emerging painters and top five emerging photographers.

In this issue’s cover story, “A New Sense Of Style,” we bring you an article full of mesmerizing images featuring the work of master artist and fashion illustrator Barbara Tyler Ahlfield who creates dramatic, evocative, and emotionally layered portraits that are whimsical and profound, elegant and refined. Flip through our cover story and enjoy!

On April 27th, our team will gather in New York from all corners of the world with over 60 master artists who will travel to our grand celebration, the ATIM Masters Awards, celebrated this year at the New York Museum Of Art and Design. Stay tuned to ATIMTV.com for more news; the ceremony will be broadcast live on the ATIM Facebook page and Livestream.

For digital readers, the Spring 2018 online issue is available on iTunes, Kindle, and Magzter, we go beyond the canvas and share with you the place where inspiration is born. Join us each time as we take you on a voyage through the beautiful world of art.

Thanks for your support,
