We are excited to share more extraordinary paintings from talented artists using our software. To conclude the list of winners of the Artwork Contest 2023, we still have to announce the best artworks in the Abstract Category sponsored by Huion.
The list would not be complete without looking at the best Abstract Compositions. We have received over 100 entries in this category and enjoyed the judging process. This category allows your fantasy and imagination to flow without limits. We hope you will enjoy exploring these awarded paintings as much as we did. The recognition goes to four artists based in the U.S.A. and one representing Romania.
1st Prize: The Uncanny by Charles Schwien
The winning painting in the Abstraction category is an explosion of painterly energy. Beautiful painting spots, color combinations, and unique plastic details convinced us of the quality of this work. The diversity and ingenuity of the painter's handwriting deserve the highest award. Congratulations!
2nd Prize: Or Like, You Know, Whatever by Kenneth Sarafin
This abstract painting appealed to us with a special atmosphere, full of hints. Radiant colors, progressing from dark to light, supported by graceful, out-of-focus shapes create a fascinating gradation in the composition. This dream picture deserves our appreciation.
3rd Prize: Fatal Attraction by Jyl Blackwell
We find a very different and cosmic expression in a balanced composition of graceful curves and color gradients. The hint of movement of the shapes is what caught our eye. A really elegant artwork! We thank you.
Honorable Mentions
Staying Focused by Karen Bonaker 
The play of textures, colors, and hints of space make this composition an interesting work. Our imagination can complete these hints in different ways, which can bring a lot of pleasure to the viewer. Thanks!
Cube Fish by Paul-Tiberiu Manguta 
The dramatic, yet compositionally clear combination of shapes also caught our attention. Surface and three-dimensional shapes, full of reflections, connected with a generously painted background create interesting color harmony. Thanks for the work!
Thank you, again to all artists who participated with their entry in our Artwork Contest 2023! We hope the winning artworks will be a great inspiration, whether it is portraits, landscapes, figurative compositions, or abstract art. We encourage you to keep focusing on your creative process. Don't forget to share it with us in the Community Gallery.
Happy Painting,
Escape Motions Team
