In 2020, the FST team organised a free, second virtual art exhibition titled ‘Artistic’ to step into the modern artistic expression of 3D virtual art that neither defines nor knows any limits, creating a unique experience from the comfort of your own home and technology, whether laptop, IPAD, or mobile. The 3D virtual art exhibition was developed using the Art Steps programme, which we thank their founders for discovering a refreshing way of visualising and contemplating artwork at high resolution at a click of a button in the digital world. A virtual art gallery can never replace the traditional custom of visiting an art gallery in person, it helps to unite global artists, whether novice or experienced, who like to spend time socially online, with cost-effectiveness and innovative features.
During this period, Artistic 3D virtual art exhibition had a healing effect on unspeakable worries and wounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. This digital space helped to connect and visualise. The soothing music developed by David Fesliyan created a poignant, relaxing, and extraordinary atmosphere.
To correct the misconceptions, FST is neither a curator nor an art collector. A curator is in charge of objects in a museum or art gallery. An art collector seeks and acquires artworks for investment and personal enjoyment. However, Artistic aims to unite, encourage, and sincerely support talented artists who select and submit artwork of their choice to be showcased as an artistic and cultural expression on our website. Our free policy is evidence that we seek nothing in return.
Social media network details help connect those interested in the respected artist(s)’s artwork or who would like to purchase for an occasion or home decor, or collaborate in art projects. Virtual exhibition helps build confidence and form network opportunities for established and rising artists.
The Artistic 3D virtual exhibition is a themeless simulated reality that evokes profound engagement and peaceful emotions to transcend words that float away, in the mastered art pieces from every angle using their brushwork and pencilwork. Their defined dynamic composition, the connotations of the bold, vibrant, and warm colours, the various motifs and shapes with symbolic nature giving a unique texture crafted by the artists using a wide range of media: photography, resin art, digital art, acrylic and metallic, Islamic calligraphy, carbon pencil sketches, ink, and jewel ornaments.
Visit our 3D exhibition and analyse each artwork within the conceptual sphere to capture the essence of the mood or scene.
