2025 World Youth Painting Competition 
 

The 2025 World Youth Painting Competition successfully concluded on [2025.7.30], emerging as a globally acclaimed platform for young painting talents to shine. This prestigious event united passionate painters from around the world, challenging them to showcase their artistic prowess, creative interpretation, and cross-cultural visual expression in a high-stakes artistic showdown.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

Composed of renowned painters, art professors, and industry experts, the professional jury upheld principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency across multiple evaluation rounds. Judges assessed works based on dual dimensions: technical mastery (including brushwork precision, color harmony, and composition balance) and artistic innovation (such as thematic depth, emotional resonance, and genre-blending creativity).

• Painting Technique: Evaluations focused on painters' execution of complex artistic skills, such as the delicacy of watercolor layering in landscape works, the texture of oil painting impasto in portraits, or the authenticity of traditional ink-wash painting techniques.

• Artistic Interpretation: Entries that reimagined classic artworks (e.g., creating pop art renditions of traditional Chinese ink paintings) or debuted original pieces with social themes (e.g., climate action visual narratives) stood out.

• Cultural Fusion: Works blending Indian miniature painting details with abstract expressionist forms, or incorporating Spanish flamenco-inspired colors into Japanese ukiyo-e styles, demonstrated exceptional cross-cultural artistic vision.
