Why Flower Art Paintings Deserve a Global Stage?

 For a few seconds, while eyes closed, imagine a flower.

Perhaps it's the first rose you've ever painted, a bit lopsided, impossibly red, but achingly yours. Perhaps it is a field of wildflowers you used to stand in, and felt like, I've got to make a picture of this. Maybe it's a cherry blossom, maybe it's a lotus, maybe it's a sunflower -- of all your flower art paintings, this is the one you've been waiting for to bloom on a canvas.

Now open your eyes, paint it, and showcase it to the world. Wondering how? 

Here is the perfect way to listen to that flower's story:

A flower art competition that has been the subject of the art world's conversation. 

For an artist who has needed to feel the urge of the beauty of nature, now is the time! The FLOWER International Juried Art Competition is now underway, presented by TERAVARNA. Know all about it here. 

Flower Art Competition | TERAVARNA

More Than A Contest 

It's more than just a flower art competition. TERAVARNA international art gallery is an acknowledged name in the international art market, a name that has supported artists, created links between artists and people from all over the world, and induced emotions that cause people to stop, look, and feel. The annual FLOWER art contest is now one of the most anticipated events in the international art calendar, and it's guaranteed to be the most extraordinary in the history of the event.

No Borders. No Boxes. Just Flowers.

The actual fun part of the flower art contest is the amount of creativity that you have! Flowers have a different significance for each artist. One is grief, and another is a poppy. Another, a dahlia is defiance. A magnolia can be a recollection, a wildflower, a resiliency. TERAVARNA is not a flower's self-indulgent whims, but it's a demonstration to the world.

Any type of visual art is acceptable:

• Drawing and painting, mixed media

• Art and Photography/Digital.

• Work of sculpture and installation in 3 dimensions.

• Abstract, representational, and experimental — and all in between

There's space for your flower art paintings here, from hyper-real to abstract, from bold to delicate, from minimal to maximal. There is only one rule - your flowers have to be from you - from your hand, your vision, your heart. 

Note: AI-generated images are not accepted – and for a good reason!) It's a competition that celebrates human creativity at its purest.

Meet the community that you didn't know you needed

Art can be an individual endeavor. Hours of wrestling, feeling, form, and light, with a canvas, a camera, a block of clay — time alone. What TERAVARNA offers, apart from the flower art competition itself, is something that artists seldom see: a community.

As soon as you enter your flower art paintings or your work, you become a part of a global community of visual artists from dozens of countries, like you, who are passionate, disciplined, and obsessed with creating beautiful things. There have been winners and finalists from China, from the USA, and all over Europe, and more in previous Flower Art Contests. Chats that emerge about this “diversity” are nourishment in themselves for the arts.

In this place, artistic identities have been formed.

How To Participate In The Flower Art Contest

The fee is $15 to enter the show for each artwork; the payback is high. There is a maximum of 10 artworks per session for entries, and payment is simple via PayPal or credit card. You can make as many submissions as you like. 

The procedure is so easy to follow:

• Decide on the number of artwork(s) you want to submit

• Visit our official website page for the flower art competition.

• Complete your payment

• Upload your artwork, photos, and details.

• Click Submit. 

Just make sure that your files are below 5 MB, in JPEG or JPG format, have been cropped so that only the artwork is visible, and are clear and in focus. That's it. No complicated portfolio portals or gate-keeping. Only your flower art paintings and the opportunity to win. 

The Deadline Is Coming — Don't Let It Pass You By

Each artist has their own folder. A hard drive. A wall with a stack of canvas paintings. Completed work that has yet to be viewed. Work worthy of more than the inside of a studio.

Have been painting flowers for decades, or have a photo of a flower taken last weekend at the right golden hour light – TERAVARNA WANTS TO SEE IT? It's the preferred choice of the rest of the world.
