TOP FEATURED STAR
Some art captures your attention.
Some changes the way you see.
Top Featured Star brings audiences closer to remarkable artists through curatorial insight, visual storytelling, and beautifully produced presentations that reveal the meaning, emotion, and creative vision behind the work.
Presented by Viviana Puello, each feature invites us to look beyond the surface—and discover what the artist has been trying to tell us all along.
Distinctive artists. Singular creative voices. Work worth seeing more deeply.

Seeing the artwork is only the beginning.
A great work of art can stop us in an instant. But the deeper story — the intention, the emotion, the years of practice behind a single image — often stays hidden. Top Featured Star exists to close that distance, turning a first impression into genuine understanding.
When people understand what they are seeing, their relationship with the art changes.
To be DIXED is to be seen, celebrated, and magnified.
Launching September 25

Every artwork is already speaking. I listen for what it is saying.
“When I spend time with an artist’s work, I am not looking for complicated words. I am looking for what feels true — the emotion, the intention, the recurring language, and the part of the story that may not be visible at first. My role is to bring that forward, so audiences can meet the work with greater understanding.”
— Viviana Puello, Founder & Curator, ArtTour International
One presentation. Many ways to be discovered.
Every Top Featured Star presentation streams free, worldwide — on the web and connected TV.

Seen beyond the screen.
Glimpses of featured artists as their stories travel beyond the presentation — into film, print, and the pages of DIXED, our digital magazine. To be DIXED is to be seen, celebrated, and magnified.

As an artist, my heart is always with the creators out there — the ones with something to say, because they are the ones who make this world more beautiful.
