The exhibition features around 30 exquisite paintings, each showcasing a diverse range of styles and rich textures. The artists' ingenuity is evident in their choice of materials, with the vibrant use of color adding to the artworks' appeal.

Each material uniquely reflects the artist's philosophy, conveying their thoughts and emotions.
