For the past three years Volvo Car Switzerland has been holding an art gallery, called Volvo Art Session, at the central railway station in Zurich, Switzerland, one of the busiest places in all of Europe. Artists are invited to create pieces of artwork, keeping a Volvo as the centerpiece of their work.

The first year saw local artists taking part in the art session, while last year artists from China were invited. This year Volvo Art Session was enriched by an international team of established as well as budding artists.

This year's theme was "Designed Around You", with a Volvo XC60 crossover being the centerpiece. Each of the six artists incorporated the XC60 into their artwork in a totally unique way. Each masterpiece was showcased for only a limited period before the next artist painted over it. You can check out the photographs of the masterpieces, shot by Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini.
