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?

According to chronology, contemporary art follows modern art which was initiated between 1850 and 1945 by the impressionist movement. Contemporary art is therefore any artistic movement born after the Second World War. Pop art, graffiti art, Fluxus, Street art and digital art are examples.

Description
The watercolor "Sauna Encounter" shows a fleeting, almost accidental scene between a woman and a man who meet on their way to the sauna. The man, relaxed but attentive, carries a towel in his hand while a second is thrown loosely over his shoulder. The soft pastel tones make her body appear light and relaxed. The woman stands in front of him, a towel casually thrown around her waist and shoulders. Her posture exudes a natural elegance and her movements appear harmonious and carefree. Delicate pastel tones - especially soft orange - give the picture a warm and inviting atmosphere. The colors seem to reflect the heat of the sauna without being intrusive. The flowing transitions and soft lines give the picture a lightness, as if the scene had been captured in a fleeting moment, full of fleeting closeness and casual familiarity.
