Beyond an idea in painting (Pablo Picasso, Spain, Diego Rivera, Mexico, Judy Chicago)

The purpose of my studies was to explore multiple meanings of art as a form of communication. My final creative project, "Beyond an Idea in Painting", consisted of a series of transformative paintings depicting multifaceted aspects of society. My research included the work of three artists whose philosophies have an affinity with my own work. They are Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera and Judy Chicago. Their work aspires to promote the value of art for social change. Social changes bring awareness to people's rights, self-empowerment, and education. In addition to my readings of art history and postmodernism theories, I interacted with professionals in the field, the public, produced and designed exhibitions at the school's gallery, attended lectures, and viewed exhibitions. This exposure taught me a new perspective about art and history in relation to the time, place, circumstances and people involved in the process.
