Eidos is amorphous.

It is undefinable yet distinct to the individual. "Eidos" is a fluid, personal essence that each experiences uniquely. It resists strict definition, though synonyms like “essence,” “idea,” and “shape” attempt the feat. Eidos is the idea by which one interprets an experience. As artists, we convey emotion and meaning from our experiences into physical representations. While it is challenging to define a moment physically, the feeling is distinctly recognizable to the individual. Art is the medium by which we express our eidos.

There is a challenge and beauty in capturing feeling through art. "Eidos," by being undefinable, serves as a symbolic representation of the complex and personal process of creating.

Our mission is to provide artists everywhere with a platform to amplify their voices and share their experiences. We hope to build a community of people each with their unique perspectives.

Art amidst AI

AI art strips emotion and uniqueness out of art with each soulless piece generated. While artificial intelligence may produce images faster and provide versions upon versions to pick from, it lacks the emotional depth and intentional choices made throughout the process of creating art that defines true artistry. With AI, there are no memories, or mistakes, or journeys; only the polished, reproduced, and indistinguishable final product.

With each paint spatter and graphite smudge, Eidos magazine strives to showcase the humanity in art and the beauty that comes from originality. Thus, Eidos publishes not only an artist’s final piece but also progress shots that showcase the artist's journey.
