Mercedes Helnwein – Dark Surreal Art

Posted on October 22, 2021 by marikokoda under Art, paintings, portraits, vintage

I am super intrigued by the aesthetic of the Austrian artist Mercedes Helnwein. Her talents move around different disciplines as writing, paintings, photography and film making. In this post I will focus on her fab portraits, where each piece seems to suggest us a story.

I enjoy the fact that each character on her paintings seems to hide a mysterious and somewhat dark secret and of course, the vintage look makes the whole creative project even better.

You can also find her on Instagram.

Alice De Miramon – Layered Art

You cannot deny it – the French artist Alice De Miramon can transform everything she touches into a beautiful, colourful and powerful art piece.

I love how she uses very old vintage papers as a medium to paint over her delicate feminine subjects. She also experiments a lot, paintings on vintage objects or textiles as well. No matter where she paints, you can recognise her “fauvism” inspired touch.

You can also find her on Instagram.

I am blown away the by colourful art world the the American artist Caroline Liu. She is a multi talented artist, her works includes paintings, soft sculptures, murals and installations.

The best part is that each piece can be seen together and still have sense, I would love to see live an immersive exhibition with all her stuff, it looks like a dream!

I discovered just a few days ago the amazing works by the Iranian artist Golsa Golchini, and I am super inspired. I love how she mixes classic painting, ready made and street art in a unique and eye catchy way.

Her style is fresh and bright, the colour palette that she uses makes me want to “eat” these paintings 😀
