Minimalism is a modern art movement that emphasizes simplicity, essential forms, and the elimination of excess. Emerging in the mid-20th century, it aimed to strip away ornamentation and focus on the purity of geometric shapes, monochromatic palettes, and precise compositions.

Pop Art, emerging in the mid-1950s, became one of the most defining art movements of the 20th century. It sought to blur the boundaries between high art and popular culture by incorporating imagery from advertising, comic books, and consumer goods, challenging traditional notions of art.

Soviet Nonconformist Art emerged as a defiance against the constraints of Socialist Realism, the state-mandated style of the Soviet Union. This underground movement gave artists the freedom to explore themes of individuality, abstraction, and social critique, breaking away from the rigid control of official art.

Graphic design merges art and communication through typography, imagery, and composition. From posters and logos to web design, it influences branding, marketing, and media. As technology advances, graphic design remains a key tool in visual storytelling, digital communication, and creative expression.

Graffiti is an urban art form that combines street culture, bold visuals, and public expression. Emerging from hip-hop and social movements, it has evolved from illicit tagging to a globally recognized artistic practice, shaping modern design, activism, and creative expression.

Gravura este o tehnică de imprimare în care un artist incizează sau gravează un design pe o suprafață dură, precum metal, lemn sau linoleum. Această matriță este apoi utilizată pentru a transfera imaginea pe hârtie, creând multiple exemplare ale operei originale.
