Impasto: Art, Purposes & Artists
Impasto is a technique used in painting where paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint appears to be coming out of the canvas.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Impasto, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Impasto with Purposes. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
