Press release
We invite you
to the International Exhibition and Competition of Contemporary Art
"FEEL IT! Art & Emotion"
Project website: www.emotionsfestival.com
The contestants' task:
"FEEL IT! Art & Emotion" is not just an exhibition. It is an open space of dialogue between the artist and the viewer, where the main language of communication is emotion.
We invite authors to present works in which a lively feeling is frozen. Any techniques, any materials, any forms — from classical painting to installations and digital art. The only condition is that the work must be filled with energy and be a sincere reflection of one of the human conditions.
Emotions are universal: We all experience joy and sadness, fear and surprise, anger and love. But the artist's view is unique. Your works will become the very mirrors in which the viewer will be able to see the reflection of their own innermost desires, experiences and revelations.
As the German poet and playwright Karl Buchner said, "People may not remember your specific words, but they will never forget how they felt." Our exhibition is about the very feelings that stay with us forever.
Topic: Listening to our feelings, getting closer to the truth, understanding the world!
Your work can reflect any emotion — from joy to sadness, from fear to inspiration. Each work is an opportunity to look into the soul, see yourself, feel the richness of your own experiences and try to understand the world around you.

Quote: "People may not remember your specific words, but they will never forget how they felt." German poet and playwright Karl Buchner. Emotions are a personal attitude, a person's reaction to events happening to him; they accompany all processes of human life and are caused, among other things, by situations that exist only in imagination.
