ARTMIABO INTERNATIONAL ART FESTIVAL  AMIAF 2024  THEME: 'SCULPTORS ODYSSEY"

     Artmiabo International Art Festival(AMIAF) 2024

The act of sculpting is an intimate dialogue between the artist and the material. It is a dance between control and surrender, as they mold, shape, and coax the raw substance into forms that reflect their innermost thoughts and feelings. With each piece, they strive to capture the essence of humanity—the beauty and complexity of existence, the triumphs and tribulations of our shared journey.

The Sculptor's Odyssey is not bound by time or place. It draws inspiration from the echoes of the past, the vibrancy of the present, and the enigma of the future. It is an expedition that transcends cultural, geographical, and temporal boundaries, seeking to create a universal language that resonates with all who encounter their work.

Festival Inspiration:

In the realm of sculptural artistry, where stone, metal, and wood are the raw materials of our creative voyage, artmiabo international art festival, 2024, (Amiaf) embarks upon a journey known as the "Sculptor's Odyssey." This artistic odyssey is not merely a physical expedition but a profound exploration of the human spirit, nature, and the limitless bounds of imagination.

Like Odysseus navigating through treacherous waters, all, sculptors, navigate through the depths of their minds, seeking to unearth the stories hidden within each medium they touch. Every chisel stroke, every molten pour, and every carving is a testament to their unwavering commitment to craft and storytelling. It is AMIAF'S hope that through this artistic endeavor, we can convey the emotions, narratives, and visions that have taken root in the recesses of their consciousness.
