Connections: An International Group Exhibition

Exploring the invisible threads that bind humanity together.

Curatone.art is proud to present "Connections" — our latest international art project. This exhibition explores the profound bonds, shared memories, and deep empathy that unite disparate individual paths across the globe. From raw abstract expressions to meticulous symbolic imagery, each featured artwork masterfully translates the intangible complexities of human relationships and universal emotional resonance into a compelling visual experience.

"With every new project, I am amazed by the depth of talent in our community. 'Connections' is particularly special because it demonstrates that despite our different backgrounds and geographical distances, the language of shared human experience is truly universal. We are proud to provide a professional platform where these diverse voices can be heard, celebrated, and recognized internationally."Elizaveta Akimova, Founder & Director of Curatone.art

The Selection Process

This competition was highly competitive. Following a global call for entries, we received more than 157 applications from talented creators around the world. To maintain the highest standards of objectivity and creative integrity, our international jury conducted a rigorous, independent blind review process. Ultimately, only 36 exceptional artworks (less than 23% of submissions) were meticulously shortlisted for the final phase.

The selected artists represent 15 countries, creating a truly global dialogue: Chile, Norway, USA, Indonesia, Czech Republic, Iran, Canada, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, Croatia, and the Republic of Armenia.
