Inspiring Minimalist Award-Winning Photos from the Artist Gallery Awards 2025 » Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

1st Place Winner: “Feet” by Luca Menotti, Italy

The Artist Gallery Awards 2025 showcased the power of simplicity with their stunning minimalist photography category.

Twenty-five standout images transformed quiet scenes into visual poetry, proving that less can truly be more. From fog-shrouded landscapes to solitary figures in motion, each photo conveyed deep emotion through clean composition and intentional space. Lina Kostas’s winning shot—a lone red balloon adrift in a white expanse—captured hearts with its haunting elegance and symbolic depth. This collection reminds us that minimalism isn’t about absence, but presence—where every detail matters and silence speaks volumes.
