Sue Williams A’Court – Dreamy Landscapes

Posted on March 29, 2018 by marikokoda under Art, collage, drawings, Illustration, landscape

Pastel palette!

Last summer I was lucky enough to see some of Sue Williams A’Court Paintings in a gallery in London.

I thought to see just small scaled drawings, but Sue works on very large scale too. The pictures online don’t give a proper scale of how big her works are, and they are so amazing! These delicate graphite landscapes are surrounded by pastel shades and a sense of retro nostalgia.

I couldn’t decide what to show in the gallery, so I picked two entire series. One is about her collages, the other one is a Series of drawings on book covers. If you love her works as I do, you can follow her on Twitter and Instagram.

Amazing!

The American mixed media artist Jenna Douglass brings us into her dreamy imaginary travels with a series called “Placial Relations“.

Here’s how Jenna introduces her body of works:

This work addresses place and memory, combining elements of collage, paint, and other media to create the memory of a place in each painting; As I have inhabited several states over the past few years I’ve grown interested in the attachment and loss that comes as one grows fond of a new place and then must leave it.

Curtis Talwst Santiago – Infinity Series

Posted on February 15, 2018 by marikokoda under Art, art projects, installation, landscape, Sculpture, surrealism

Amazing!

With Infinity Series the Canadian-Trinidadian artist Curtis Talwst Santiago makes a clear statement. This body of work is composed of miniature sceneries carefully handcrafted inside vintage jewellery boxes.

Most of the themes covered by the artist have a sociopolitical background like refugees on boats, police brutality assaults or completely burned houses.

Handcrafted dark miniature scenes realised inside vintage jewellery boxes.

So inspired!

I totally fell in love with the abstract nature inspired collages by the Australian designer Laura Blythma.

Enjoy the wonderful mixed media artworks realised by the UK artist Mairi Timoney.

I love how she combines a pure minimal style, surreal landscapes and some delicate pastel colours shades.

Purple Crafts – Secret Wood

Posted on June 10, 2016 by marikokoda under Art, arts & crafts, jewelry, landscape, nature

Nature to wear!

The Canadian brand Secret Wood creates fine handmade rings with a dreamy twist. Each piece is realised mixing fresh wood and coloured jewelry resin.

The magical switch is in the details – inside each ring you can see a miniature surreal scenery that takes inspiration from nature.

You can literally bring a landscape with you, isn’t it cool? For now the the brand produces just rings, but they are planning to create pendants too. Can’t wait to see them!
