Hive Art Gallery Bests #32

 🎨 **CONTEST RESULTS ARE IN!** 🏆 We're keeping it short since we're in vacation mode! 😎 **The results speak for themselves - @maiasun84 absolutely dominated this round, claiming both 1st and 3rd place!** 🌟 Congratulations to all winners and a huge thank you to everyone who voted! Your participation makes this community amazing! 🙌 # The winners 🥇 **1st place**: **@maiasun84** - [Fragile](https://hive.blog/hive-174301/@maiasun84/fragile-sketch-4-series-everyday) - 25 pts - prize: **20% of the post's earnings** + **300 Ecency Points**  This is a beautiful and emotionally resonant piece, both in visual and narrative dimension. The stained-glass style lines express the idea of fragility and being pieced together despite life's fissures, echoing perfectly with the spiritual and lyrical references. The red bird in your hand becomes a strong, passion-filled motif – a symbol of hope, emotion, and everything that makes us feel deeply despite past wounds. Your personal reflection on vulnerability, paired with an homage to Sting's "Fragile," adds a poignant depth to the artwork. The image itself – luminous, with gentle colors and delicate lines – captures that sense of emotional transparency and strength found in brokenness. 🥈 **2nd place:** **@manart** [My new mix media art titled : A Call To Awareness](https://hive.blog/hive-177717/@manart/my-new-mix-media-art-titled-a-call-to-awareness) - 22 pts - prize: **15% of the post's earnings** + **200 Ecency Points**  This is an incredibly powerful and meaningful piece of art. The symbolism you've woven throughout "A Call to Awareness" creates a profound narrative about mental health struggles and hope. Your technique combining charcoal and acrylic creates a striking contrast - the darkness of the subject matter balanced with the vivid life represented by the surrounding flora. The execution is skillful and emotionally resonant. This piece demonstrates both artistic skill and emotional courage - sharing such vulnerable subject matter through your art takes tremendous strength. 🥉 **3rd place**: * **@maiasun84** [Searching for Light](https://hive.blog/hive-174301/@maiasun84/searching-for-light-sketch-3) - 16 pts - prize: **15% of the post's earnings** + **100 Ecency Points**  This is a deeply moving piece from your Everyday Speech series. The upward gaze in "Searching for Light" perfectly captures that universal human moment of seeking hope beyond our immediate circumstances. There's something beautifully honest about capturing these moments of spiritual seeking. The way you've rendered the eyes and the tilt of the head suggests both yearning and faith - that delicate balance between desperation and hope that characterizes our most profound moments of introspection. ___ ## **Congratulations to the winners!** 🎉 Remember, the contest is ongoing!
