Dolaana Davaá is an artist of many talents, who found a way to express herself through everything from paintings, clothing, and masks. Her creations are walking a fine line between fascinating and bizarre, and that certainly applies to her signature “melting paintings” that helped her find viral fame.

Davaá is a Tuvinian artist based in Milan, who mastered several painting and sculptural methods after moving from Russia to Italy to study at the Italian Arts Academy of Brera in Milan. She gained a new appreciation for Italian Renaissance paintings during her studies and came up with a creative way to put a twist on some of her favorites.

She started working on her signature “liquid paintings”, which are inspired by her longing to destroy and melt down her artistic academic formation to make room for contemporary art.

“The main topic of artwork is to rethink the canons of old art, forcing the picture to melt or make the classic art objects of simple decoration. My creations combine ideas, desires and inspirations of my inner child with my adult aesthetic and significant view,” she writes on her official website.

Some of Davaá’s melting paintings are her own designs, while others pay homage to famous works of art. We’ve seen her put her own twist on “Ophelia” by John Everett Millais, “Madonna della Seggiola” by Raffaello, and “The Last Day of Pompeii” by Karl Bryullov, among many other works.

Angels have always been a popular theme in art, being attributed a beautiful appearance and awe-inspiring attributes. This theme has also been a source of inspiration for artist Hossein Behzadi, who is making angels the main subject of his amazing relief art.

Relief art is a method of sculpting that sees the artist create pieces that are attached to a solid background, which usually consists of the same material. This gives sculptures a special effect in which they appear to emerge from the background they are attached to.

Behzadi usually creates his relief art on walls. Showcasing his creative process on social media, Behzadi can be seen applying plaster to the wall and creating a basic outline of an angel with spread wings and flowing hair. Then, he proceeds to carve out the final details before sanding the sculpture to give it its final appearance.

While the depiction of angels represents most of Behzadi’s creative output, the artist also creates relief art featuring other designs. This includes motifs from nature like feathers, leaves, and flowers.

Behzadi frequently shares his newest works on his Instagram page while also posting reels that give insight into his creative process. You can check out more of his relief art below.

Jesuso Ortiz is a talented designer and illustrator from Spain who has a knack for seeing things for what they could be on top of what they are. This helps him combine various plants and fruits with drawings to create charming illustrations.

In Ortiz’s works, a black raspberry becomes the head of a sheep that carries a sleeping girl, while a rose serves as a shelter from rain. The artist keeps his illustrations simple, adding minimalistic drawings, and relies on the viewer’s imagination to put together all elements together and see his idea.

According to Ortiz, his goal is to create fantasy scenes, tell stories, and encourage people to reconnect with their inner child.

“I like to create fantasy scenes from these objects,” Ortiz shares about his works. “It’s a way of telling stories with a single image. Each person is the creator of their own reality. There are many more possibilities in this world than our eyes allow us to see. With my work, I try to invite people to regain their inner child curiosity and wake up their minds.”

Ortiz regularly shares his newest works on Instagram, where he has more than 250K followers. Check out more of them below.

Diego Cusano is an Italian artist who is famous for incorporating everyday items into his illustrations to create intriguing art. The appeal of these pieces is that the viewer needs to rely on his imagination in order to fully comprehend the intention of the artist. Cusano makes this quite easy with the perfect placement of the items inside the illustration. A tape measure becomes a giraffe, a sea shell dubs as a wavy skirt, while a single popcorn represents the fluffy coat of a sheep.

 Cusano refers to himself as a “Fantasy Researcher” who “turns the ordinary into the extraordinary, climbs over the border between reality and fantasy inviting to smile and to free the imagination, wherever and ever.” And it takes just one look at his works to realize this is quite a fitting description.

Cusano’s intriguing combinations of everyday items and illustrations have brought him significant popularity on social media, with his Instagram profile boosting an impressive following of 300K users. Additionally, his talent was recognized by various Italian and international companies, such as the pasta brand Barilla and the toymaker LEGO, who recruited him for their marketing campaigns.

André Schulze is a German artist who is known for his practice of repurposing old and vintage paintings in a unique way. He first restores these paintings to their former glory and then paints over them, creating a completely new artwork.

Recently, Schulze has been restoring still-life paintings of flowers by adding a pixelated touch to them. By doing so, he is bringing together a form of art that has been around for centuries with a modern digital world.

The draw of Schulze’s still life paintings is that they obscure the subject but still allow the viewer to appreciate its beauty. The colors and the shapes are still there; they are just not so obvious anymore, and you need to look past the blurriness.

According to Schulze, most of the paintings he works on are obtained from thrift and antique stores.

“The paintings I am working on are mostly from amateur painters or self-thought artists from the early 20th century. Many of the paintings are copies of masterworks made just to study the style or for commissions,” he explained in a recent interview with My Art is Real Magazine.

Alison Altafi is a Syracuse, New York, native who describes herself as a nontraditional fiber artist. And you need only one glance at her works to see why.

Altafi’s fiber art is nontraditional in many ways. For starters, it features abstract designs that are full of all sorts of colors, bold textures, and unusual formations. Also, the artist creates most of her works in round shapes, giving them an added visual appeal.

According to Altafi, her creative process is based on intuition, and she lets inspiration of the moment, as well as fibers and colors, lead the way. This results in unique pieces that she refers to as “portals to other worlds” and have the goal of allowing the viewer to use them as an escape from everyday stress.

“I find the cyclical nature of round weaving to be very cathartic and meditative. I create art that feels magical, otherworldly and fantastical- art that I myself can escape into. I’ve had my work referred to as “portals” to other worlds, and I love imagining them in that way,” the artist shares on her website.

Austrian artist Gustav Klimt is widely considered one of the most important painters of the late 19th century and early 20th century. His works are highly rated among art collectors, regularly fetching tens of millions when they appear on auctions. The same is expected to happen with Klimt’s lost painting that has recently resurfaced after 100 years.

The painting, “Portrait of Fräulein Lieser”, was last seen at an exhibition in 1925. Since then, it changed hands several times before reaching the family of the current owner in the 1960s. The current owner reached out to Vienna-based auction house im Kinsky, which confirmed the authenticity of the work.

“Portrait of Fräulein Lieser” is currently exhibited at im Kinsky and is set to be auctioned off on April 24, 2024. The estimated price of the painting is between $32 million and $54 million. The most recent work of Klimt to be auctioned off was the painting “Lady with a Fan.” It was sold for $108.4 million, setting the record for the artist’s most expensive piece of artwork. 

“Klimt’s paintings rank in the top echelons of the international art market. His portraits of women are seldom offered at auctions,” im Kinsky in a statement. “A painting of such rarity, artistic significance, and value has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades.”

If you’re someone who loves art, chances are you would absolutely love the Instagram account of Austin Howlett. The reason for this is that he has so much to offer, and we’d argue that his near 77,000 followers would agree vehemently with us. So what is it about his art that makes it so interesting?

First of all, his skill is impeccable. So if you’re someone who truly appreciates art that can be backed up with refined technique, Howlett has got you covered. You’ll never be left feeling like you’re not looking at something truly professional.

Next, his vision and style is something special. If you’re someone who needs to be inspired by an artist’s mission, you may fall in love with Howlett’s. While his goal’s are somewhat open to interpretation, it’s clear he’s someone that focuses on surrealist art that makes you think.

For instance, Howlett loves painting portraits of living human giants, and he often depicts lying down in the wilderness with the mountains. The paintings truly are something like you’ve never seen before, and they make you question what it’s trying to say. Perhaps we, too, are all giants in the real world—but in our own special way.

Lihui Liang is a Chinese artist and film director who is currently working on an intriguing series of portraits titled Animal Religion. As part of the series, Liang depicts the subjects as their spirit animals.

Before she even starts painting the portrait, Liang has an extensive interview with the subject. She tries to understand their personalities, dreams, hopes, interests, and more. Only then she decides on a fitting spirit animal and how to show her in its full glory.

According to the artist, people absolutely love the results of her works because they feel more personal than the usual portraits.

“It’s a collaborative experience that is created together,” she shared in a recent interview with Creative Boom. “I tried to capture their inner essence rather than merely their physical appearance. Some of them use my pictures for their profile pictures, and one asked me to print on a T-shirt.”

Liang graduated from San Francisco’s California College of the Arts but is currently living in London, where she creates most of her art. The artist describes her style as “counter-realism,” explaining it as a “bridge between the real and the surreal.”

Austrian artist Gustav Klimt is widely considered one of the most important painters of the late 19th century and early 20th century. His works are highly rated among art collectors, regularly fetching tens of millions when they appear on auctions. The same is expected to happen with Klimt’s lost painting that has recently resurfaced after 100 years.

The painting, “Portrait of Fräulein Lieser”, was last seen at an exhibition in 1925. Since then, it changed hands several times before reaching the family of the current owner in the 1960s. The current owner reached out to Vienna-based auction house im Kinsky, which confirmed the authenticity of the work.

“Portrait of Fräulein Lieser” is currently exhibited at im Kinsky and is set to be auctioned off on April 24, 2024. The estimated price of the painting is between $32 million and $54 million. The most recent work of Klimt to be auctioned off was the painting “Lady with a Fan.” It was sold for $108.4 million, setting the record for the artist’s most expensive piece of artwork. 

“Klimt’s paintings rank in the top echelons of the international art market. His portraits of women are seldom offered at auctions,” im Kinsky in a statement. “A painting of such rarity, artistic significance, and value has not been available on the art market in Central Europe for decades.”

If you’re someone who loves art, chances are you would absolutely love the Instagram account of Austin Howlett. The reason for this is that he has so much to offer, and we’d argue that his near 77,000 followers would agree vehemently with us. So what is it about his art that makes it so interesting?

First of all, his skill is impeccable. So if you’re someone who truly appreciates art that can be backed up with refined technique, Howlett has got you covered. You’ll never be left feeling like you’re not looking at something truly professional.

Next, his vision and style is something special. If you’re someone who needs to be inspired by an artist’s mission, you may fall in love with Howlett’s. While his goal’s are somewhat open to interpretation, it’s clear he’s someone that focuses on surrealist art that makes you think.

For instance, Howlett loves painting portraits of living human giants, and he often depicts lying down in the wilderness with the mountains. The paintings truly are something like you’ve never seen before, and they make you question what it’s trying to say. Perhaps we, too, are all giants in the real world—but in our own special way.

Lihui Liang is a Chinese artist and film director who is currently working on an intriguing series of portraits titled Animal Religion. As part of the series, Liang depicts the subjects as their spirit animals.

Before she even starts painting the portrait, Liang has an extensive interview with the subject. She tries to understand their personalities, dreams, hopes, interests, and more. Only then she decides on a fitting spirit animal and how to show her in its full glory.

According to the artist, people absolutely love the results of her works because they feel more personal than the usual portraits.

“It’s a collaborative experience that is created together,” she shared in a recent interview with Creative Boom. “I tried to capture their inner essence rather than merely their physical appearance. Some of them use my pictures for their profile pictures, and one asked me to print on a T-shirt.”

Liang graduated from San Francisco’s California College of the Arts but is currently living in London, where she creates most of her art. The artist describes her style as “counter-realism,” explaining it as a “bridge between the real and the surreal.”
