ATIM’s Masters Awards mark a new step in an artist’s career and they are given in recognition for excellence in the arts, creativity, good use of media and composition. The award recipients are chosen from ATIM’s Top 60 Masters of Contemporary Art, our yearly publication which features 60 incredible artists and highlights the best of the best in the contemporary art world. It is curated by the internationally acclaimed art personality, Viviana Puello, founder and editor-in-chief of ArtTour International Magazine. Puello, the driving force behind this event, is an artist herself. To honor their career achievements, she has created a special sculpture entitled “Rising Above,” a 25-cm angel-like figure with magnificent open wings and extended arms. A famous Italian porcelain company in Nove, Italy, creates reproductions in porcelain and then plate them with 24-carat gold. This unique, spectacular sculpture embodies everything ArtTour International Magazine stands for.
