Now in the MEAM, you can see the winning works in the two competitions that shows to the public the most current international Representational Art creation.

The Figurativas Painting & Sculpture Competition 2015 is organized by the FOUNDATION OF THE ARTS AND ARTISTS since 2006 and promotes Representational Art by living artists with one mission: to get to influence the course of contemporary art that consist exclusively in experimental trends, abstractions and videomontages, to return to representation, but with a language of 21st Century.

The ARC International Salon is organized by the american organization ART RENEWAL CENTER which also seeks a return to the practice of tradition in the arts. In this year's call there was a total of 2,500 works of 1,050 artists. The competition highlights the best of this painting comeptition, which this year the first prize was given to the Spanish artist Arantzazu Martinez and eight awards given by categories. All of them are in this exhibition.

Thus, it is presented in Barcelona, ??the largest current exhibition of contemporary Representational Art between two continents. A celebratory that shows that the tradition is still alive in many artists that have no place in museums and contemporary art centers but now dispalyed to the public thanks to the union of these two private institutions that are committed to these artists. We invite you to join us for this unprecedented show that can be seen at the EUROPEAN MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MEAM) until Juanuary 2016.
