We are delighted to present a selection of oil paintings by talented artists from <a href="https://www.inspiredoriginal.org/oil-painting">NTD’s International Figure Painting Competition.</a>

The NTD International Figure Painting competition is a groundbreaking effort to pave a path for humankind to return to truly fine art.

Its mission, “Pure Truth, Kindness, and Beauty,” has inspired many artists in creating art that is both profound in content as well as perfect in technique.

​All net proceeds will go toward supporting the artists and the competition.

To view more of the art collection, please visit our <a href="https://www.inspiredoriginal.org/oil-painting">online art store</a>.

An artist for 50 years, Sandra Kuck has won many awards and participated more than once in the NTD International Figure Painting Competition. The finalists’ work both impressed and inspired her.

“Really, I’ve been to a lot of shows, and this is one of the best,” said Kuck. She said that as an artist, her style and works celebrate beauty, and in recent years, there has been a renaissance in this field.

Her piece titled “Yin and Yang,” painted in her characteristic romantic realism style, won the Technique Award at the NTD competition. But some classical-style works caught Kuck’s eye during the exhibition, and she said that perhaps she would start to go in that direction.
