Create! Magazine is excited to partner with Rise Art for a new series from the London-based online art sales and advisory business called The Curator’s Wishlist. This ongoing campaign tasks some of their favorite voices in the contemporary art world to select their top five artworks from the vast collection available on Rise Art’s platform.

Launched at the beginning of May, the series has already featured some of the biggest new names in art curation, writing, and collecting. Whether drawn to new work from emerging artists, or well-known work from more established artists, each curator has formed a collection that expresses their unique artistic preference. Our writer and Director of Business Operations, Alicia Puig, has joined the ranks alongside past curators including Marie-Odile, Alayo Akinkugbe, and Leo Sartain. She made her selections based on the artists’ use of rich and enticing colors or how they express the sublime beauty of nature and the essence of summer. Take a closer look at her picks below!
