BE OPEN announces the winner of #BEOPENCombinations, a recently finalised creative open call across social media. With open calls, by asking the participants to share their vision with pictures and photographs, BE OPEN aims to support creativity as a universal approach, and build bonds between people around the globe.
BE OPEN believes that the ability for creative interpretation is not confined within the art and design industry. The series of online challenges reach out to those creative minds around the globe, who keep their eyes open, see inspiration in the everyday life, and are able to transform it with their own unique vision.
In art, gathering fragments from our everyday existence, combining them with artistic tools and transforming into a new extraordinary imagery is described through such terms as ‘mixed media’ and ‘collage artwork’. Using the resources of their creativity, artists step over the constraints of genres and media to give existence to new unexpected combinations.
To celebrate the visual power of combinations, #BE OPENCombinations invited everyone to embark on a thrilling exploration of permeations, pairings, and contrasts of meanings, styles, shapes and colours that surround us in our usual ways, and wait to be captured and shared as a means of creative self-expression.
BE OPEN praises everyone who sent visuals that reflect this topic via Instagram and Facebook with the #BEOPENCombinations hashtag, as a way to celebrate people’s ability to creatively interpret the reality around them. BE OPEN Community members have selected the winning post from a shortlist of submissions with the highest number of likes by Instagram users.
Our congratulations as well as the €300 prize go to @Dykulik, a bank manager from Kazakhstan, for the fun and vivid visual of two completely different architectural styles, semantics and historical contexts.
