Sample Answer

I have always had a knack for paintings and I never miss a chance to attend an exhibition wherever and whenever possible. The exhibition where I got to see some of the most enchanting and prodigiously painted artwork was back in the days when I was selected to attend an exhibition to buy some of them for our office decor and to emblazon the entrance of our office. I attended an exhibition at Khorchula (a place nearby my city) and I can’t ever get enough words of praise to define how it felt beholding some of the most spellbinding paintings in the world.

The exhibition had a motley of paintings and there were almost 300-400 paintings on the display where the artists encompassed multiple themes to draw their piece of art, and over that, the laudable presentation by the artists was something one can watch for hours as though one would get submerged in the intricate details of the paintings. I honestly loved each one of them and there was not even a single painting where I could find any aberration.

I believe one must attend such exhibitions as one gets to know the exquisite talents of the world and how detail-oriented and finessed an artist could get.

Later, I ended up purchasing 5 paintings for our office decor and whosoever saw it couldn’t extol that enough.
