Welcome to the 2019 Art Issue of Mode Lifestyle Magazine. 2019 has been an amazing year for the evolution of art in its various forms around the globe. In this issue we explore art in the form of music by taking a look at Madonna who is experiencing a form of rebirth as expressed in her album Madame X. We then take a look at the works of celebrated international fashion photographer Iran Issa-khan after an intimate interview at her Miami residence. The paintings of Lúcio Carvalho come next and are inspired by scenography as well as the Baroque, Rococo and Renaissance era. Next stop is to France and a look at the one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces handcrafted by jewelry artist Vanévy Okarane. We look forward to featuring some of Vanévy Okarane's beautiful jewelry in future editorials in 2020. When most people think of art, furniture is not the first thing that comes to mind, unless of course you are really into furniture and the history of furniture design. "Warm Tones" - Mezzo Collection shows the art in furniture design and brings the 50s and 60s era design squarely into the modern. As always we are happy to receive communications from our family of readers and look forward to hearing from you by email, phone, or even perhaps in person at an event somewhere soon.
