Buying artworks on the theme of "World Culture"

For many artists, painting is a way to escape from everyday life, or even to travel through works that are the testimony of distant and exotic cultures. Representing the daily life of cultures of the world through customs, clothes, cuisines, different lifestyles in painting makes it possible to share and celebrate the cultural richness of the world. Art is a window on the world to connect different cultural universes, like a bridge between civilizations. Among the artists who were pioneers, in the painting of different cultures of the world in Asia or Africa, we can mention Paul Gauguin, Etienne Dinet or Gustave Guillaumet.

Origins and History

Contemporary World Culture Paintings emerged in the late 20th century, as artists began to explore the diverse cultures of the world and incorporate their unique perspectives into their work. This movement was influenced by a growing interest in cultural diversity and globalization, as well as the emergence of new technologies that allowed artists to connect with other cultures and share their work more easily. Key periods include the 1980s and 1990s, when artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring incorporated elements of African and Latin American cultures into their work, and the 2000s and 2010s, when artists such as Ai Weiwei and Yinka Shonibare explored issues of globalization and cultural identity.
