Artists from North America attract attention with their vibrant colors and imaginative compositions. The brilliant colors on the canvas seem to leap out, demonstrating a unique pursuit of freedom and innovation.
The artworks of European artists present a kind of stylistic freedom, blending elements from various genres such as Impressionism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism. Dreamlike, symbolic techniques, and colors intertwine in the paintings, allowing the audience to experience a visual adventure and exploration.
Those artists from various countries deeply integrate various cultural elements into their works through their respective painting languages.
