The Great Book of Art Makers 2025

The Great Book of Artmakers – 2025 Edition is a celebration of vision, passion, and creation — a timeless tribute to the artists shaping the future of contemporary art.

Born out of the International Artist Award, this inaugural volume brings together 100 extraordinary creators from around the globe. Each artist featured represents a unique voice and a powerful vision, offering a window into the diverse landscape of today’s artistic expression — from painting and sculpture to photography, mixed media, and digital forms.

Designed as both a collector’s keepsake and an artistic record, the book embodies the spirit of craftsmanship. Wrapped in an elegant gold-foiled jacket and featuring cover artist Olaf, every detail — from the weight of the paper to the precision of print — has been chosen to honor the beauty of art itself.

Within its pages lies not just artwork, but stories of courage, imagination, and transformation — the essence of what it means to be an artist today. Together, these 100 creators illuminate a shared truth: that art, in all its forms, continues to connect, heal, and inspire across borders.

A book to collect, cherish, and return to, The Great Book of Artmakers stands as a lasting testament to creativity — and to those who dare to make the world more beautiful through their work.
