It is through your guidance and mentorship that these young artists were able to showcase their skills and artistic vision.
The theme for BRAIN ART Competition 2023 was “Breaking the Stigma: Visualizing Brain Disorders”. This year, the level of engagement from participants was huge and we received 1049 entries online under the categories Digital Art, Painting, and Pencil Drawing. In general, the artworks portrayed abstract representations of the brain, artistic elements for neurons, synapses, or brain-related concepts, wandering mind with dreamlike imagery, or imaginative realms or images that evoke thoughts and emotions related to brain disorders and therapeutic impacts.
