The International Action ART project was conceived as an international competition for artists working in the en plein air tradition and was originally scheduled to take place in Andorra, bringing together participants from different countries in a dynamic outdoor creative process. The event was designed to include the artists’ physical presence, the exchange of artistic experience, and the creation of works directly within natural and urban environments.

Anastassia OM was selected as one of the participating artists and planned to travel to Andorra to take part in the competition. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, public events and international travel were cancelled, and the organizers transferred the project to an online format.

As a result, the project was adapted for remote participation. The artists’ works were presented in a virtual gallery on the project's official platform, allowing the competition to preserve its international character while ensuring that it could proceed under the new circumstances.

As part of this online exhibition, Anastassia OM’s painting “The Essence of Time” was presented to the public. Despite the necessary transition to a digital format, the project retained its artistic significance and became an example of the successful adaptation of international cultural initiatives to the challenges created by the pandemic.
