Touch the masterpiece

 

This artist really leaves a piece of herself in every painting,  actually creating the largest collection of personal fingerprints :)

Judith Ann Brown paints pictures with her fingers, using a powder of charcoal to create large symmetrical patterns and sweeping landscapes.  
 
For nearly a decade, Braun, 65, has dipped her magical fingers in graphite and made enormous, imaginative patterns and even detailed landscapes of trees and waterways on wall-sized canvasses.
Her landscapes of winding rivers, rolling hills and trees are so eye-catching, it's hard to believe they're created without traditional equipment. A series of paintings created such an original way, is called «Fingerings».

 An interesting idea!

 

Jon Burgerman, the leading British illustrator, offers you or your children to choose the color scheme for the interior yourselves. You can see the peculiar images of the artist and funny pictures that make up the kaleidoscope of imaginary cartoon characters. Such interesting wallpapers will turn an ordinary apartment renovation into entertaining activities :) A great idea! I like it!!

Hyper-realistic paintings by Linnea Strid

 

If you do not examine the images carefully and only briefly glance at them, you can think these are ordinary photographs. But if you look closer, you will be surprised for sure - you see paintings! 

Linnea Strid draws her paintings using oil paint, on canvas or plywood. Her hyper-realistic works are fantastic. Light brush strokes of the artist convey the effect of water so vividly, that she really seems to know water mysteries or some secret qualities... Otherwise, how does she do it?? Even my screen seems to get wet :)

 

 

 If you see Goldfish - make a wish!

 
Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori represented his amazing aquariums with goldfish at the exhibition "Goldfish Salvation". In spite of the fact that the fish seem completely real, swimming in the clear water, they are nothing but realistic 3D images.

Riusuke Fukahori poured transparent resin into wooden boxes and glass jars, and, layer by layer, using acrylic paint, drew fish. As a result, we can admire this volume and incredible realism. 

Optical illusion resulting from these magical arts is so strong that you could feel strong temptation to feed the fish and to touch the water - just in order to test wether it's wet and cold. 

Three-dimensional work is a favorite technique of Japanese artist . These and other pictures drawn by the author in 3D format, were presented at the exhibition in the ICN gallery in London.

Here you can enjoy the creation of the masterpiece:

 

 What a wondefrul World!

 

 Kalina Toneva is a talented Bulgarian artist who creates wonderful watercolor paintings. Her pictures fascinate by their lightness, airiness, giving us fairy-tale atmosphere.  

I am fond of life-affirming works, because, in my opinion, art should serve humanity. Nowadays, when real life is full of destructive negativity, people are fed up with pessimistic vision. We need people who can see stars in a puddle or a balloon in the sky :) If you are one of us, I hope these pictures will make you smile and remember Louis Armstrong's song "What a wonderful world"!!

 

 

 

 

  

  

 

 Paolo Troilo and his abstract surreal graphics

Paintings by Italian artist Paolo Troilo can be called the sleight of hand, the masterful hand work, because no other tools are used. Paint, paper, and his own fingers - that's what he needs to create such realistic images. However, there isn't a slightest hint that his paintings were done this way.

 
He draws, scooping up his five fingers into acrylic paint and putting them on canvas, leaving a neat precise brushstrokes that eventually add up to a portrait. Paolo Troilo mainly depicts strong, slender and handsome men, his paintings deliver strong emotional and sexual energy, and thus attract attention. The author deliberately uses a monochrome scheme, preferring gray, white colours, occasionally adding some pale green background.
