Crank up the visual volume.

For your next Design Challenge, more is definitely more. Maximalism is all about embracing excess, layering patterns, and celebrating bold color schemes. It’s a response to the minimalist aesthetic, offering a vibrant and eclectic alternative that encourages self-expression through the use of lavish details and grandiose elements. We’re calling all artists to push boundaries and pack their designs with visual intrigue.

We invite you to explore the limitless possibilities of this design trend. Think rich textures, complex compositions, and a harmony of seemingly disparate elements that come together to create a feast for the eyes. Whether it’s a riot of florals paired with geometric prints, a fusion of global influences, or a daring mix of vintage and modern aesthetics, your designs should overflow with creativity and confidence. It’s about making a statement and owning the space with art that can’t help but be noticed.

Create pieces that are not only visually captivating but also tell a story through their abundance of forms and motifs. Let your imagination run wild and show us how your art can speak volumes in the most extravagant way possible.
