Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Contemporary painting

From prehistoric times to today, painting remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists around the world. In addition to representing a field of contemporary art, it constitutes a means of expression with multiple forms. Indeed, the brushstrokes illustrated on a painting hide a concept or a subject. Whatever the theme you are looking for, ARTactif presents a wide range of contemporary paintings.

Contemporary art, contemporary painting: what is it about?

Description
The watercolor entitled "Trapped in the Mirror of the Soul" is painted in dark orange tones that create an intense and emotional atmosphere. The portrait shows a desperate person whose facial features blur like a mask and dissolve in the left half of the picture. This style of representation suggests dissolution and inner fragmentation that can be typical of psychological stress. The eyes are framed in black, which makes the gaze particularly intense and piercing, while the mouth is slightly open, as if the person depicted is calling for help, or in silent despair. The choice of colors and the watercolor technique, in which the colors blend into one another, underline the emotional turmoil and conflict of the person depicted. The picture skillfully captures the moment of deep emotional distress that directly touches the viewer and makes them think.
