The Painted World Showdown Winner: “Le Reflet du Monde” by Golnaz Afraz
Praising the high standard of entries, Chief Curator Rebecca Wilson said:
The caliber of the works we received for ‘The Painted World’ was extremely high, with such diversity in style and perspective from artists from all over the world. Having selected Golnaz Afraz for spotlight in our ‘Invest in Art’ series, I’m happy to see her continued success. Golnaz’s masterful use of color and distinctive compositional style set her work apart, and I think we can continue to expect many great things from her in the future. The tremendous talent showcased in the finalists is testament to the robust nature of painting today, which is very exciting.
