‘Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023’ explores the connection between science and religion, with a theme of ‘The Statistics of Fortune’. It features 30 exhibitions, including the Main Exhibition and the Invitational Exhibition of Local Artists, in eight sections across Macao.
The Macao Museum of Art presents various activities for the 'Friends of MAM' to celebrate this fantastic art event. Participating artist Konstantin Bessmertny will lead the 'One Drawing a Day‧Keeps Doctors Away' Workshop – explaining his works' creative concepts and guiding participants in using absurd visual languages to transform figure sketches into portraits. The workshop aims to enhance the participants' creativity and imagination while also encouraging them to focus on mind and body by expressing and transforming their daily emotions through art. This activity is free of charge.
Instructor
