The winners
š„ 1st place:
@vragolana Ulica/Street šļøšØ - 7 pts - prize: 20% of the post's earnings + 300 Ecency Points
This painting beautifully captures the essence of a city streetānot just as a physical space, but as a living, breathing rhythm of human connection. The warm noon sunlight contrasts with soft shadows, creating a visual balance that mirrors the quiet coexistence of people in motion. The figuresāwalking, cycling, pausingāeach follow their own rhythm, yet belong to the same shared moment. Through delicate brushwork and thoughtful composition, the artist transforms an ordinary scene into a poetic reflection on presence, connection, and the unnoticed beauty of everyday life.
š„ 2nd place:
@nsejnr Still life drawing [CB] - 4 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 150Ecency Points
This pencil still life is a beautiful study of balance and contrast. The arrangement of the pots, leaning naturally against each other, creates a strong sense of weight and structure. The drapery in the background adds softness and depth, guiding the viewerās eye through the composition. The use of different pencil gradesāfrom fine mechanical lines to deep shadows with 10Bābrings out rich textures and volume. The effort to achieve harmony really shows, especially in the delicate interplay of light and shadow. It's a thoughtful, well-executed piece!
@reyghart04 Dibujo titulado "La pandemia"/Drawing entitled "The Pandemic"(ESP/ENG) - 4 pts - prize: 15% of the post's earnings + 150Ecency Points
A powerful and thought-provoking piece. The realistic pencil rendering of the couple contrasts sharply with the eerie, burned background, emphasizing the theme of emotional decay in a materialistic world. Their faceless embrace, marked by brands and fashion, speaks volumes about lost intimacy and identity. The shadow on the groundādistorted and almost unrecognizableāadds to the haunting message. The technique, especially the candle-scorched texture, enhances the atmosphere of deterioration and isolation. Itās surreal, poetic, and socially relevant. A bold artistic statementāvery well done.
