There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent”, said the Roman poet Ovid. Various changes are an integral part of life because movement is a sign of life, so everything is in a state of emerging, changing, and disappearing. So, just as night changes into day or winter into spring, so we, too, are changed by internal or external conditions, and our environment is transformed. Intoday’s world, metamorphoses are very pronounced: information flows, digital technologies, economic value, social order, social relations, trends and values change instantaneously. Such changes are not always positive and in some cases they can lead to significant adaptation problems, crises and even recessions. Thus, new things in life are sometimes frightening and people prefer to stick to a steady rhythm and routine. So how do young painters see the changing world and the changes in life? This is what the organisers of the Zabolis Art Prize are asking by inviting young artists to submit their work on the theme “Everything is Changing?”.

Our Art Prize platform offers young artists a unique opportunity to challenge themselves, hone their skills, and grow as creatives in a nurturing environment. Through their participation, these artists exchange ideas with like-minded individuals from various backgrounds. We hope to empower them to discover new perspectives, experiment, and elevate their craft to unprecedented heights.

Financial prizes are awarded to the three best paintings in the competition. The works of all 20 finalists are exhibited at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Furthermore, the works of all winners and finalists, along with a bio about the artist, are featured on the Zabolis Partners and Vilnius Academy of Arts websites, as well as on the Zabolis Art Prize Facebook and Instagram accounts.
