A collaborative triptych is an artwork consisting of three panels or sections that are created by multiple artists working together. The term "triptych" originally comes from art history, particularly in religious contexts, where it referred to a three-part painting or carving, often hinged together, depicting a unified theme or narrative. In a collaborative triptych, each artist typically contributes to one or more of the panels, bringing their unique style or perspective while maintaining a cohesive vision across the piece.

The collaboration can take different forms—artists might work simultaneously, each tackling a separate panel, or they might build on each other’s work sequentially. The result is a unified yet diverse composition that reflects the interplay of their individual contributions. It’s a way to blend distinct voices into a single, multifaceted story or concept, often seen in modern art projects, murals, or even digital creations.
