The Circle Foundation for the Arts "Art Star Award"
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the kind and generous support that I have received since 2021. It is that amazing support that has encouraged me to forge ahead with my art journey.
I am excited to share that in January 2026, I entered an international competition, “CFA Artist of the Year”, held by the Circle Foundation for the Arts based in Lyon, France. I have been awarded an Art Star Award for my submitted art, “Rainbow Rhapsody”. “Rainbow Rhapsody” and three other paintings of mine are featured in Art Stars, a new and dedicated digital magazine published in late March 2026. It was published in collaboration with World Wide Art and is posted on their website.
"ArtStar" magazine
The ArtStar Magazine “presents an international collection of contemporary artworks that span a wide range of styles, media, and aesthetic approaches, united by a shared standard of remarkable creativity and artistic integrity. Bringing together artists from over 25 countries, this volume reflects a rich convergence of cultures, perspectives, and ways of seeing, offering a compelling and diverse selection of works worth collecting. More than a presentation of individual practices, Art Star functions as a meeting point where differences are not only acknowledged but valued. Through painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, the publication reveals how varied artistic languages can coexist within a single, cohesive vision. Each work contributes to a broader dialogue, demonstrating that while forms and influences may differ, the pursuit of expression, meaning, and beauty remains universal.” (press release statement)
My four paintings appear on pages 82-85.
