Art trends that have impacted society along the chronological line of art history. We have been creating art for as long as humans can use their hands. From early cave paintings to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, art has always been present in many different forms, constantly telling us about the lives of the people who create it.

Tracing a timeline through various art movements allows us to see the relationships between the art of the past and contemporary art, and to understand how art is capable of mirroring and reporting on the periods in time during which it has been produced. 

Indeed, predicting the future of any industry is difficult. However, by analysing the art market and the most exciting and recurrent styles that exceptional artists are producing right now worldwide, we can confidently tell you what will take the art world by storm in 2023.

For sure, a predilection for pastels is dominating the art scene right now, and the trend will be consolidated along the current year.

Pastels are the neutrals of the future, exhibiting a lighter side of things through a relaxing yet thoroughly energizing shade selection within the art world. Calming pastels can change our mood, inviting collectors into a world full of ambiance and serenity.

Vibrant hues of pink and blue, when interpreted in a subdued and watery key, as in the case of the art practice of our artist Marcelo Amorim, bring an upbeat mood to the poetical connotations of pastel colours.

Amorim adopts a technique in which the human figure becomes evanescent, suggesting ideas revolving around memory and emphasising the images from the past that inspire the artist. His pictorial approach offers his audience an alleviating visual experience distinctive from anything people have ever seen before.
