Some artists selected in 2022 have been renowned globally, and their artworks are collected by museums and awarded heavy-weighted prizes. Among them, Mustafa Yüce from Turkey participated multiple international exhibitions, including a solo exhibition at the Musée du Louvre in 2016. Adrian Lis from Romania won the first prize from the XIII Florence Biennale 2021 in the theme of “Eternal Feminie‧Eternal Change.” The Italian Artist Gabriele Luciani exhibited his artworks in the exhibition “Antico presente l’Accademia disegna”at the Vatican Museum from 2017 to 2019; some of his artworks are included as the public collections at the European Museum of Modern Art(MEAM) and the Vatican Museum.

Those selected artworks focus on the warm-hearted humanities during the pandemic, to present the arts to be enjoyed beyond the limitations of time and space. Adrian Lis grew up in 1980s, in the prime time of global capitalism, the onset of the social media, the prosperous politic revolution and the era of hip-hop music; his artworks depict people under the influences of complex and complicated cultures. As a contemporary artist, Adrian Kinyua Ndum cares about various issues, and his work topics are range from the Nature, wildlife to the social commentary; he exhibited his artworks in Kenya, Mainland China, Zanzibar and Dubai; he serves as the first chairman of Kenya National Visual Artists Association, in which exhibits artworks associated with lobbying, the Government, and other social issues. Mustafa Yüce concerns for the real values deserved to be supported from the social vanities; he analyses the real images of the outside world with his inner realm, the theme of “the real reflection” surpasses the law of causation, and makes a fictitious association for events and facts, so that viewers encounter the naked truth of “discrimination and acceptance.” Gabriele Luciani ‘s mythology-themed artworks are represented with connections to the Baroque and Victorian styles; the vibe and decorations inspired from the Art Nouveau movement as well as the Arts and Crafts Movement are commonly visible. He reveals the variability and unpredictability of the human mind via his artworks.
 

There are many more outstanding artworks selected to resonate the concept of the International Artist Grand Prize Competition to put artists front and center; the Art Revolution Taiwan upholds the spirits to support emerging artists, inspiring them to transcend themselves and to convey the warm-hearted contents.
