Contemporary art is a current form of art that can be represented in various ways, as it is not confined to a single style. Artists draw inspiration from social issues, values, customs, and other social themes. This was not the case in the past, as ancient artists tended to focus on religion or mythology.

“Located in the heart of the Andean mountains, the town of Cuenca is entrenched in a valley irrigated by four rivers. This location has over a long period of time favoured close contact with the natural environment.” (UNESCO World Heritage Centre, s.f.) Its architectonic and natural beauty made Cuenca a city close to the arts, and its good climate throughout the year is perfect to host an event such as the Biennale.
