It is better to imitate ancient than modern work.
— Leonardo da Vinci, classical painter
Since 2015, we have been hosting the annual competition for kitsch-painters world wide. This is a contest that has been won by great painters such as Sebastian Salvo, Mark Belicario, Li Dong, Scott Breton, Marjan Bakhtiarikish and Shaun Roberts.
Here are the finalists:
The finalists, selected by the jury, are presented in a contest open to public voting on our facebohok page.
