Describe an impressive work of art such as a painting or sculpture

Sample Answer

Creativity and art always allure me and I can’t stop praising any artwork that has a hue of creativity in it. Talking about a painting that mesmerized me was back then when I got a chance to go to an exhibition. It was there that a splendid painting got me amused and impressed. The painting was basically of a genre called ‘still life’, however, despite having a common subject matter, the finesse with which it was painted riveted me.

This exhibition was arranged by my university and all thanks to the administration, I was fortunate enough to see the painting. The exhibition was in Rivekool, a city next to mine. Like I said before, it was nothing outlandish about the painting nor was it delphic that would have captivated my attention. It was the realistic essence of the painting that became the cause of our intrigue. It didn’t look as if it was a painting, rather it looked like a photograph. Such punctilio and attention to detail are not recurrent.

The painting had a room in which a lantern was drawn that was hooked on a weary wall. It also had a carpet of magenta color and the floor had crevices on it. Opposite the lantern was a huge mirror on which an apparition was seen. Overall, it gave an eerie feeling in spite of being so common. Honestly, all I have is praise for the artist.
