    Hellenistic art is characterized by its flowing and dynamic forms, which were a departure from the more rigid and static style of earlier Greek art. This style emerged during the Hellenistic period, which followed the conquests of Alexander the Great and saw the blending of Greek, Egyptian, and Eastern influences. Hellenistic sculptures often depicted figures in motion, with flowing drapery and exaggerated poses, conveying a sense of drama and emotion. This emphasis on movement and fluidity is what makes Hellenistic art "flowy."
