“CREATIVE MINDS DON’T FOLLOW RULES, THEY FOLLOW WILL.”
-Amit Kalantri, Author & Mentalist
CANVAS ART Competition by TERAVARNA India
CANVAS, a place where you let your thoughts roam free; a space that receives without making judgments, a space where mistakes are just like textures in the final painting. For any painter, canvas is where the journey begins — and where it resumes from the last brushstroke!
If you are the one who dares to push the limits, TERAVARNA India’s CANVAS Art Competition 2025 has every reason to ignite the creative spark in you — to let the white blank space voice your stories! Whether you’re an emerging talent or a seasoned artist, bring your vision to life through acrylic painting or oil painting on canvas, on any theme close to your heart.
Create and inspire! We make it ‘your canvas, your rules’ — no restrictions on themes — just pure artistic freedom!
So, are you ready to put your art on canvas and have all eyes turn to you?
