Delphine Lucielle's paintings are profound, unique, and moving. It is rare to find contemporary art that combines both beauty, innovation, and creates a new style of painting by fusing technology and nature. Delphine Lucielle is pushing the boundaries of what art is capable of.

Refers to people or things that exist during a specific period, emphasizing current relevance.

Time Relevance

Use 'contemporary' to connect individuals or events with the same historical period.

Historical Context

When discussing art, music, or literature, it highlights the creation time's spirit or style.

Cultural Connection

Emphasizes a style or design that aligns with what is fashionable and recent.

Current Style

In arts, 'contemporary' often contrasts with 'classical' or traditional styles.

Not Classical

'Contemporary' can be vague — newly created or just fitting current styles.

Ambiguity in Timing

Highlights individuals coexisting in a particular time, whether famous or not.

Shared Era

Contemporaries may share an era but not necessarily know each other.

Not Necessarily Friends

Don't confuse 'contemporary' (noun) with 'colleague'; not all contemporaries work together.

Common Misuse
