It was pretty challenging to pick just a few of the pieces of this amazing artist – Linden Eller has an enchanted aesthetic that she express through collages, paintings and illustrations. I like how she can mix these 3 techniques together in a very consistent way.
Below you can see some of the collages of her series Dear Sincerely, but when you have time I will highly recommend you to check all the rest. You can shop her artworks here, and follow her on instagram here.
Beautiful!
Enjoy the delicate colours combination of the paintings realised by the Spanish artist Tomasa Martin.
Love it!
The Russian-Dutch artist Larissa Eremeeva creates wonderful portrait paintings.
The artist wants to explore strengths and vulnerabilities of human beens with a personal “voyeuristic” look. I love her way to represent textures too, with a bold but still delicate final result.
Dreamy art!
The American artist Christina Romeo brings us into a fairy tales world through her beautiful art creations.
Her works are a combination between abstract and figurative art full of bright colours. The artist is able to showcase her unique style on drawings, paintings and fine contemporary ceramics.
Below some of my favorite pieces, enjoy!
Dreamy!
The Dutch artist Romy van Rijckevorsel takes inspiration from classic vintage photos to create beautiful paintings.
Memories, nostalgia and bright colours are always present in her works, I love her unique illustrative style combined with old vintage portraits.
Magical!
I am truly fascinated by the artworks of Anne Siems. On her paintings I can recognize the symbolism and the illustrated style of Frida Kahlo, and at the same time the Renaissance joy of Bottticelli‘s paintings.
Anne drawings and paintings are full of mystery, where nature “absorbs” the ghostly subjects, creating an harmonic coexistence. The subjects reminds me to some sort of legendary “wood spirits” that lives into old forests…
Colorful!
The paintings by the German artist Torben Giehler are the perfect one to bring you a positive mood every time you look at them.
Sometimes in his abstract paintings you can recognize a mountain landscape, but his personal way to see nature is stunning.
Bright and shiny colors are the key players of each of his works, and the way he combines them together is so intriguing and inspiring.
Dreamy!
I love the delicate art by the New Zealand artist Henrietta Harris. Her paintings and drawings are surreal portraits with a unique style, where faces are often covered in some way.
It seems that the portraits were manipulated with weird interventions that looks like a “glitch” where faces are dissolving, but these effects only give to each work a more interesting point of view.
Classic and contemporary!
I love how the Dublin based artist Sean Molloy revamps traditional paintings and vintage photos giving them a contemporary touch. The artist wants to investigate the relevance of classic painting in a digitally-mediated world.
On every art piece there is a contraposition between the classic portrait or landscape style, and layers of digital elements inspired by a variety of sources, as image manipulation software, glitch art, etc.
Everything is done using a traditional painting technique, and the final result is balanced even if the inspirational elements are so different. Love it!
I want it all!
I discovered the wonderful paintings by the american artist Daisy Patton not so long ago, and I totally fell in love with her works. This particular series really caught my eye, is called “Forgetting Is So Long” and the mixed media technique used is super intriguing.
Daisy collected found family photos, then she printed the pictures on a bigger surface and painted on them. The result is totally mind blowing, I really love the mix and match between a classic vintage portrait and her colors splash interventions.
This is what Daisy wanted to express with this art project:
By mixing painting with photography, I lengthen Roland Barthes’ “moment of death” (the photograph) into some semblance of purgatory. Not alive but not quite dead, each person’s newly imagined and altered portrait straddles the lines between memory, identity, and death. They are monuments to the forgotten.
Below a little selection of my favorite one, enjoy!
