The International Art Symposium brings people together. For a short period of time artists from all over the world gather to exchange information, techniques and ideas related to their profession. These artists, painters and sculptors from different backgrounds will inspire each other and will be able to see their colleagues at work.
The event will broaden horizons. It helps improve the understanding of other cultures, countries and art. The symposium is a public event using local spaces in Cómpeta and surroundings where locals, art-lovers and visitors can meet the artists and experience how they create their own particular style, with spontaneity, originality and creativity. The 14 invited artists, painters in different media and sculptors, will get inspired by the Spanish culture, environment and the beautiful nature of Andalusia. Participants, from many different countries are working professionally and exhibiting worldwide. Have a look at their c.v.’s and you’ll be impressed. Looking for a good quality artwork?
