Brainfeed Picasso Contest | Results Declared

by

The legendary artist, Pablo Picasso once said, “It took me years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” We have witnessed a powerful exemplification of his expression when Brainfeed was amazed to receive an overwhelming participation for Brainfeed Picasso Contest. More than 5000 young artists sent their fascinating masterpieces on the theme- “Brushing off the crisis”.

Picasso used to believe that every child is an artist. Celebrating art was his primary nature. “To draw, you must close your eyes and sing,” he used to exclaim. The entries were received from different states, cities and zones pan India symbolizing the power of creativity in children.

A fight against Covid 19 with Art Attack!

Group I: 8-10 years

Till the last date of submission- May 30, 2020, paintings kept pouring in. The enthusiasm of Gen Z was commendable. Just one call and the artistic warriors donned their armors of paint, wielded the sword of brush and marched forward to win over Coronavirus through their talent.
