An adorable songbird relaxes amid the beauty of nature in Preeti Gupta's lovely acrylic painting. The Indian artisan uses black and white acrylic to execute the painting's monochromatic look and immediate, graphic appeal.

By Indian artist Shikha Kaistha, this abstract painting depicts a golden chrysanthemum flower design that centers a circle of sky blue. The artist works with mixed media, painting acrylics over paper and glue that create a relief texture. Intricate dot patterns surround the lovely design.

A crimson monolith arises amid soft clouds of grey and aqua. They swirl gently around the fiery pillar, caressing its ardent surface. "I am obsessed with the concept of power," Made Ardika muses. "I use red here to express its force. It stands out against the calmer colors that surround it." The Balinese artist works in acrylics on canvas to create the dramatic painting.

Abstract shades of red, orange, and pink dance and weave across the canvas in this oil painting. Peruvian artist Carlos Lopez Avila transmits the visions of his soul to the viewer, painting with broad, textured strokes that reflect his emotions. He paints this piece with inspiration from the people of Huancabamba, a rural province of Eastern Peru.

Titled "Vuelo de Ave Huancabamba" in Spanish.

Abstract forms, vibrant colours and mystic elements are present in Costa Rican Jorge Leiton's expressionist composition. Working with oil on canvas, this painting expresses the artist's thoughts on current society whit different hidden symbolisms carrying a message of peace and love.

"The work has an important meaning across different cultures. The symbols are based on international icons and other signs, such as Hebrew and Arabic words for peace. The hands painted in white are a gesture of peace and rejection of violence. In this painting, all these elements are a consolation to the marginalized, saddened by war, hunger and sex," reflects Jorge.

Titled Símbolo de Paz in Spanish, the painting comes stretched and with a cedar wood frame.
