The post Alison Altafi Creates Captivating Abstract Fiber Art appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>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.
Altafi shares her newest works and provides insight into their creation through social media. Scroll down to check out more of her “portals”.

]]>The post This Artist Was Inspired by Her 3-year-old Son’s Doodles appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>“To be completely honest, starting out with bold shapes was a mere representation of what I saw in the artwork of my son Lori, who was three at the time I started painting again,” admitted Salas in an interview with Society6. “I could see how carefree he was—he didn’t have any objective and wasn’t concerned with what anyone would think of his painting. This was without a doubt what I needed to do. I needed to be free again so I started out on the path he unconsciously showed me.”
Based in Mexico, her artwork is also inspired by the ever-changing scenarios of her immensely diverse home country. “I very much enjoy finding new color combos and I adore playing with them as much as possible,” says Salas. “When I first started painting I knew I had to push myself to paint bigger canvases, use different types of paper, find my favorite brushes and doodle on photos I took. Life has guided me into a situation where I get to experiment on every single surface I could’ve ever imagined (even using spray cans for a 90-meter wall!). Even if I don’t like it, even if it’s not painting or design, I keep creating new stuff everyday.”
While always exploring the limits of simplicity and minimalism, Salas focuses her art on an endless study of color reactions by carefully proportioning a mix of tension and organic movements. Show her some love on Instagram:

]]>The post Angela Heisch’s Abstract Paintings Consist of Shapes and Intuition appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>But though the finished result is seemingly structured, Heisch admits that her creative process is mostly intuitive. “Usually this involves a few ideas,” she explained in an interview with Maake Magazine, “such as color restrictions and combinations I might give myself, or something the painting will feature (such as a shape that looks as if it’s in motion, is standing upright, or is covered in specks).”
At the heart of her work lies a basic contradiction between revealing and concealing. “My compositions are ultimately the result of revealing and concealing,” says Heisch, “pulling things forward, pushing things back.” For the most part, this involves taking information away, such as blackening out a once brightly colored line or covering an entire space with her linear systems.
“I like how the unveiling of this forgotten and often incompatible component throws me a bit off course,” she adds. “It’s funny, most of the time these areas are pushed to the far background, covered up, or in the end aren’t all that noticeable; but it never fails to force me to change directions, or at least avoid heading in such a straight line.”

]]>Known as Expression by Nada on Instagram, this talented, self-taught, Candian painter has created some amazing landscape paintings that have a life-like quality to them.
She has worked on several landscape paintings of mountains and forests. Most of the trees are done with impasto painting to give the leaves a 3D effect and make them look more realistic. The landscapes are painted upon wooden canvases. These can be round or rectangular and contribute greatly to the finished result.
See some of her amazing work in the gallery below.

]]>Lee’s artworks are characterized with thick brushstrokes made on already well-painted portraits. His thick brushstrokes are usually used to cover the faces of his portraits, making for an eerie effect.
But despite the fact that their facial expressions are covered with these brushstrokes, the images still find a way of expressing their emotions.
His works are beautiful and unique. Take a look below.

]]>Despite being abstract, the artist finds a way to bring the artwork to life. All his cityscape paintings are done with oil paint on canvas. It is also obvious that some of his works were inspired by actual events. And his ability to portray day and night in abstract painting is truly impressive.
Aside from cityscape paintings, Azanedo also makes sketches. His subjects are basically the same, with the difference being the level of details.
See some of his work in the gallery below.
