IOAF2023

IOAF2023 International Ocean Arts Festival
Always remember
The ocean is a precious resource and the source of life on which humans depend. The ocean connects every corner of the world; it is not only our past and present but also our future. Be grateful to the ocean, care for it, and we must condemn all acts of malicious pollution to the ocean. For our future, for the future of the earth, let us together protect our ocean.

IOAF2023 Electronic Award Certificates
The IOAF International Ocean Art Festival has successfully concluded, and we sincerely thank all artists and designers for their trust and support. Currently, we have begun to gradually issue the electronic award certificates to exhibitors from all over the world via email, and we expect to complete the distribution to all winners by September 21, 2023. Thank you very much for your patience.

During this challenging period, IOAF proposes to focus on the issues of coexistence between humans and nature, as well as between humans themselves. This art festival brings together various forms and styles of artwork, aiming to explore the relationship between life and the ocean, as well as their interdependence. As our home and an essential part of our existence, the ocean provides not only food and livelihood but also natural, cultural, and social resources that are irreplaceable. The artwork showcased in IOAF will delve into the connection between humans and nature, particularly the interdependence between life and the ocean. The ocean, as a cornerstone of human survival and development, represents the possibility of coexistence between nature and civilization. Against this backdrop, IOAF's artwork will lead us to reflect on the relationship between humans and between humans and nature, as well as our responsibilities and duties towards coexisting and prospering together. With this profound philosophical context, we look forward to the insights and reflections brought by the artwork, and the closer and more harmonious connection between humans and nature.
Congratulations on the smooth implementation of IOAF2023. With the joint efforts of the organizing committee members, international curators, and international volunteers, the organizing committee has successfully received 586 excellent works, and after careful selection, the final list of winners is shown in the table below.

Their participation added grandeur to the opening ceremony and added significance to the event.

The IOAF International Ocean Art Festival is an international charitable art project co-curated by international curators, including Mr. Hu Jijun (China), Mr. Boo Jong Chul (South Korea), Dr. Xian Yan (China), Mr. Julian Moise (Austria), Dr. Alexandru Cristian BUNII (Romania), Mr. Angelo Zzaven (Italy), Mr. Naufan Noordyanto (Indonesia), and Ms. Bu Yun Ja (South Korea). With the selfless dedication of IOAF international youth volunteers, the festival has successfully held six editions.

The exhibited works encompass a diverse range of artistic forms, including oil paintings, traditional Chinese paintings, watercolors, sculptures, mixed media, illustrations, photography, posters, jewelry design, calligraphy, and more.
