The post Chilean Artist Creates Paintings Filled With Surreal and Dreamlike Scenes appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>While following the visual style of Baroque, Lorca deviates from this art movement in the subjects and scenes he portrays in his artworks. Most of the time, his paintings feature surreal and dreamlike scenes that remind us of things nightmares are made of.
For example, in his painting “Casita de dulce” (Candy House), Lorca paints a little girl that is standing in the middle of a room filled with what seems to be corpses. “The Eternal Life,” on the other hand, paints a scene that appears calm at first but becomes more dramatic the longer you look at it.
In a recent interview with Couer et Art, Lorca said that the goal of his art is to trigger different emotions in viewers, including beauty, fear, and affection.
“All paintings mean something important to me; they are a kind of diary of my psychic life, and that gives a symbolic meaning to my life,” he added.

]]>The post Ben Houtkamp’s Stained Glass Art Is Inspired by Childhood Nostalgia appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Houtkamp grew up in an artistic family in Rockford, Illinois. His father Frank used to work with stained glass, too. “I grew up watching him work and hanging out at his studio,” Houtkamp tells Creative Boom. “I’ve always been an artist but I didn’t really consider working with glass until 2019. My dad taught me thoroughly even though I lack his masterful patience.”
As he explains, the process of making stained glass art is not difficult, but getting the details right is the difficult part. His father taught him to be patient and thoughtful with every piece he creates, as that makes all the difference with the final result.
Check out the artist’s Instagram page with over 12k followers if you want to see more of his work. In the meantime, we picked out some of his recent pieces below.

]]>Kringen is a well-known name in the art world thanks to his powerful portraits that blur the line between reality and abstraction. He paints portraits and figures emerging from shattered backgrounds or seeming like they were broken down into pieces that were then reassembled.
Kringen was introduced to art from early age by his mother, an artist and graphic designer, prompting him to get interested in drawing and painting. This allowed him to get familiar with different techniques, both old-school and modern, and use his keen eye for details, especially when it comes to observing people, to develop the style that has now become his calling card.
According to the statement on his website, the process of painting for him involves “balancing between reality and abstraction,” and he applies this routine “down to each single feature of the face or hand.”
“I dissect the figure using line work, dividing between tone and texture, and then reconnect the pieces along invisible planes throughout the painting,” Kringen explains.

]]>The post Alexandra Carter Isn’t Afraid of Making a Mess appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>A cross between painting, drawing, print media, collage, and performance, Carter uses alternative media and surfaces to emphasize a visceral mark. Her work, more often than not, seems un-contained—the ink spilled across a translucent drafting film, with the fluid then juxtaposed with collage elements.
Her paintings, made with layers of puddled pigment and collaged imagery mimic explosive, liquid bodies. The paint she uses tends to puddle and bead on its surface, while the translucent nature of the film allows her to paint on both sides. In one series, she paints using cranberry juice, which refers to her family background (having come from a family of cranberry farmers in New England). Exploiting the staining effect of the juice, she stains antique linens and pillowcases.
“Abstract and minimal work never seemed to be an option for me,” she reflected once in an interview with the Exeter Bulletin. “I needed more to hold onto… I think it’s necessary to investigate the stories we grew up with, and other stories that have been told throughout history, and how those have shaped us. That’s why imagery from mythology, folklore and fairy tale have had such a presence in my work.”
While exploring themes like gender, fairytale, and masquerade, Carter hopes to expose not only one’s guts but one’s internal state in a way that can seem both pleasurable and painful. Her work, therefore, pushes the possibilities of painting, creating new textures with ink. Scroll down to see some recent highlights.

]]>Gric is a real master of mixing the colors by carefully placing the floss next to each other. Her work is absolutely stunning, often featuring green trees and calming environments. She also knows how to create a dramatic scene of burning fire and make it look as real as possible by using nothing but a needle and some thread.
“Very early on in my life I understood that I have an attraction to a certain kind of beauty, I tended to notice details and color combinations more than kids my age did,” the artist’s website reads. Her artwork is a response to those who destroy nature instead of celebrating and nurturing it.
In order to achieve the desired effect, Gric uses long and short stitches. To check out more of her work, go to her Instagram page or scroll down below to see our top picks.

French knots on the court craft. Doing embroidery on something so unusual like tennis rackets is not seen very often. When you look closer, you’ll be impressed by her skill. When Magazine Horse asked her how long it takes to finish one racket, the artist replied, “From two days to a week or a week and a half. Because it is a laborious job. I paint or draw before and then I transfer the line of work in the racket, I fill the base and I make the details.”
She choses to do flowers because they are colorful, versatile, and universally beautiful. She chooses the flower and colors she will use based on her current mood. Her favorites are poppies, lilies, and proteas.

]]>The post Remington Robinson’s Adorable Tiny Oil Paintings Fit Into Any Pocket appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Robinson is a Colorado-based artist who paints true masterpieces on tiny mint tins. He actually paints on small wooden panels that he attaches to the container lids. Once prepared, he travels to an inspirational site and uses the tin as the palette as he paints on the wooden panel.
“I use a new container every time, and when I am finished, the painting stays with the container it was painted in, complete with the palette of paint that was used to create it,” Robinson tells My Modern Met. Each container become a little art artifact, as he says.

Oh yeah, there used to be a tree there on the left, but it got chopped down since the last time I came to this spot. I decided to pay homage to our lost tree friend and put it in the painting, also because I like the balance it adds to the composition. #pleinair #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairpainting #altoids #altoidstinpainting #oilpainting #miniaturepainting #miniatureart #miniatureartist #minipainting #miniart #miniartist #tinypainting #tinyart #tinyartist #smallpainting #smallart #smallartist #micropainting #microart #microartist #coloradoart #coloradoartist #boulderopenspace #bouldergreenbelt #bouldercolorado

First time ever in ‘Bama over the weekend for my cousin Sarah’s wedding. This banana plant was right across the street from my family’s AirBNB. Its colors were looking so juicy in the morning sun that I just had to paint it. It reminded me of being in Mexico or Florida, and made me want to paint more banana plants in the future. P.S. – I just found out that even though the banana plant is commonly called a ‘banana tree’, it is not classified as a tree since its stem is not made of woody tissue. . . . #alabamagetaway #bananatree #bananaplant #tropicalpainting #tropical #pleinair #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairpainting #altoids #altoidstinpainting #oilpainting #miniaturepainting #miniatureart #miniatureartist #minipainting #miniart #miniartist #tinypainting #tinyart #tinyartist #smallpainting #smallart #smallartist #micropainting #microart #microartist

]]>“We use our phones, tablets, and notebooks everywhere in our lives. I try finding those moments when we can see their ubiquitousness as funny and likable,” she tells Bored Panda.
Unlike some other artists who used a similar theme in order to criticize human behavior, Papp tries to find the cute moments that simply show how phones are a normal part of our everyday lives. Still, the result is a bittersweet feeling we get when we realize how far it’s gone—it’s virtually impossible to do anything without a phone anymore, even simple tasks like eating or playing with pets.
Scroll down to see these illustrations and make sure to follow Papp on Instagram for more. She doesn’t have a lot of followers yet, but we’re sure more people are going to discover her very soon.

Thank you Alasdair & Eddy, for entrusting me with this special request and for the freedom you gave me in creating it 
Happy Birthday Ruby!

Cat Rabbit’s characters are a happy little crowd. There are many adorable animals with human-like bodies as well as some odd creatures like her croissant-head characters.
Some of the toys the artist creates have a special meaning. For example, the toad with a blanket is a tribute to her friend who loves the show Frog and Toad. A small pug with a book in his arms is homage to author Zadie Smith who has a dog named Maud.
“I presented it to her when I went up to get my book signed. She was amazing and kind, and when the writer next to her at the table asked me, ’so what is it that you do, actually?’ Zadie immediately said, ‘this, obviously.’ Being validated by your hero! I was on a cloud for months,” the artist told Colossal.
