artisticas

Artisticas is the feminine plural form of the adjective artistic (artística in Portuguese) used in Spanish and Portuguese. It describes feminine nouns related to art, culture, or artistic production. The standard written form in both languages is artísticas, with an acute accent on the i; in plain ASCII contexts it may appear as artisticas.

Etymology and meaning: The word derives from Latin artisticus, itself from ars, artis (art, craft). It follows regular adjective agreement patterns in both languages, changing form to match gender and number. As an adjective, artisticas characterizes qualities, styles, or items connected to art, such as creativity, aesthetics, or skilled workmanship.

Usage: Artisticas typically modifies feminine plural nouns. Common phrases include obras artísticas (artistic works), expresiones artísticas (artistic expressions), or movimientos artísticos (artistic movements). It also appears in descriptions of culture, education, and criticism: una escena artística, expresiones artísticas contemporáneas. In headlines or captions, it may appear without an accompanying noun when the meaning is clear from context.

Notes: In contrast to using artisticas as a stand-alone noun, standard usage in Spanish and Portuguese tends to employ nouns like artistas (artists) or obras artísticas to denote people or objects. Therefore, artisticas is most often seen as a descriptive modifier rather than a noun. The term is widely understood across Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities and is common in academic, journalistic, and curatorial contexts. See also: artistic, arte, arte contemporáneo.
