About the Exhibition:
The “Radience, our Energy” theme invites artists to explore the ethereal and spiritual essence of human beings—the energy that emanates from the soul. This category delves into the intangible yet profound aspects of our inner selves, where thoughts, emotions, and spiritual connections reside. It’s an exploration of the life force that transcends the physical body, the energy that shapes our identities, guides our actions, and connects us to the greater universe.
In many cultures and spiritual practices, the soul is seen as the source of our vitality and the bridge between the material and the divine. It’s where our deepest truths and aspirations dwell, radiating an energy that can be felt but not always seen. This theme encourages artists to visually interpret the soul’s energy—its light, its movement, its connection to others and the world around us.

Neural Nexus it’s a dynamic artistic venture born out of creative exploration. “Radiance, our Energy” is not merely a static display but an ongoing journey of artistic development and community engagement. “Radiance, our Energy” will not only be showcased but also analyzed, with your participation contributing to the ongoing assessment and evolution of this unique artistic venture.
Exhibition Theme:
We invite artists to embark on a journey inward, exploring the spiritual and energetic dimensions of the human soul in our “Inner Radiance” open call. This theme focuses on the invisible yet potent energy that defines who we are beyond the physical—the light that shines from within, the aura that surrounds us, and the spiritual essence that connects us to each other and to the universe.
Artists are encouraged to translate the intangible qualities of the soul into visual form. How does the energy of the soul manifest in color, shape, or light? How does it interact with the world and with others? What does it mean to be spiritually radiant, and how can this inner light be captured in art?
Through this theme, we seek to explore the profound impact of our spiritual energy on our lives and the world around us, celebrating the beauty and power of the soul as a source of strength, connection, and transcendence.
