Robert Gonsalves is a talented painter, but you shouldn’t trust him too much. In his paintings, you will start by seeing one thing, then it turns into another thing. Some would call Gonsalves’ painting surreal, but he preferes the more accurate description of “magic realism”. His work was strongly influenced by Magritte, but Robert Gonsalves […]

Bozka is an artist and illustrator from Warsaw, Poland. She creates stunning illustrated pop-up books. The level of details and explosion of colors is the first thing that jump at you, but each artwork does more than that by telling you a story. Everything is hand-crafted, some very technical work.

Flowers and plants beauty is hard to capture, as the vegetals always grow and keep changing. Japanese artist Azuma Makoto found a temporary solution: freezing the flowers and plants into massive cubes of ice. Shots of the cubes were then taken, showing the cold beauty in a wonderful piece of botanical art.

After publishing Taylor Maze’s little landscapes, I had to write something about Lorraine Loots and her amazing tiny paintings. The artist creates great drawings at a tiny scale, a size at which normal people cannot draw. She extended it into a project of one tiny drawing a day, and all the paintings were collected in […]

This series, titles “Caustic icebergs”, was created by Swiss artist Chaotic Atmospheres using 3D software. It gives a unique view from both above and below the ocean, with a watercolor-like texture.

When you first look at Taylor Maze’s drawings, you may think that they are just well-drawn landscapes by a talented artist. Luckily, he took photos of it with the pens he used for his creations, which allows us to realize how amazing these tiny little artworks are.

A series of digital papercuts I made on the theme “Globalization“. The artworks are designed to look like traditional Swiss papercuts from the Pays d’Enhaut, but with a twist. Since the theme Globalization is nearly impossible to treat… globally, I chose to work on sub-theme that are related. You can view the prints bigger on […]

Sometimes the medium an artist uses is just as important as his skills. In Ekaterina Panikanova‘s case, her paintings would definitly not have the same impact if she didn’t work on used books, giving us glimpses of memory on each page. Looking at her work, the whole picture is often less important than the missing […]

A photographic project that involves no Photoshop intervention, yet tricks our eyes. Swiss photographers Tayio Onorato and Nico Krebs created these ephemeral structures and shot it to make it look like it was an extension of the buildings. The structures look a bit clumsy, but they are carefuly built to follow the visual lines of […]

Shannon Holt is a body painter, that means she uses the human body as a canvas for her creations. With all its asperities, the skin isn’t an easy medium to paint on, but it also offers the opportunity to create some sense of ledge. With her “Florida wildlife” series, Holt created animal portraits that took […]

Marcelo Daldoce creates paintings of a new kind. He paints women stuck into polygonal structures, then folds the paintings in a way that reinforces the polygonal structure and gives some depth to the painting. These paintings, or should I say sculptures, are a really good example of the close relationship between the visual effects and […]

Clumsy people like myself can only be impressed by paper-cutting artists. The skills, patience and dedication this type of art requires is just beyond anything I could imagine doing. No wonders I’m deeply impressed by the works of Hudson Valley based artist Maude White. The artist loves playing with negative space, cutting out some pieces […]

UK-based artist JPS likes to create street art in random locations, taking advantage of what he finds on the spot. Like many street artists he was inspired by Banksy and you can feel it in his work. It goes so far that JPS’ started to paint on walls after seeing Banksy’s museum exhibition. This even […]

French illustrator Sébastien Del Grosso did an awesome series of illustrations combined with photographic self-portraits. These pictures, in which he really interacts in a humorous way with the drawings, are a great way to express the artist’s love/hate relationship with his drawings. The artist, who is also a good photographer, even took the time to […]

Hoda Zarbaf is an artist based in Toronto. Her work involves a lot of recycled textiles like old crochets, used socks, pre-owned t-shirts and more to create organic looking sculptures and installations. In his recent series of work, the woman is always at the center, often in intimate positions. Hoda shows these women in different […]
