Premio Combat 2025 Prize

Now in its 16th year, the prestigious COMBAT PRIZE has once again brought new artists into the spotlight this year who will be making waves.

For 2025 so many artists are competing for the renowned exhibition, a reflection of an evolving world, artistic and otherwise. 

A renovated interest that arouses the most diverse emotions as always between contrast and normality in perfect Combat style.

Curator Paolo Batoni writes, "Art that truly matters does not confirm our beliefs; it challenges them. It unsettles our certainties, reshapes our knowledge and transforms how we see.”

The Prize confirms itself as a cultural platform that identifies and supports some of the most vibrant and dissonant voices in contemporary art. Over time, it has built continuity, credibility and impact, maintaining a clear commitment to artistic research and fostering new dialogue among artists, audiences and institutions.

Among the competing categories, painting is still the preferred medium for speaking to the public.
