Spanish term
propuesta
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
I've always had a hard time with this word as applied to art. "Proposal" doesn't seem quite right and "concept" doesn't really fit into this context. Ideas?

challenge / proposal
An option could be "challenge", since this artist's "proposal" is quite sui generis.
