]]> It should come as little to no surprise that color affects our mood. Recent psychological studies confirm that we interpret our experience and surrounding as much through color as we do through shape, texture and sound. A subtle yet powerful tool, it informs the way we see and feel about our environment. That being said: we could all benefit from a punch of color in our day to day.

Here to lend us a helping hand is artist Okuda San Miguel. Known for his colorful murals and outlandish sculptures, San Miguel ascribes to the notion that more is more—especially when it comes to his color palettes. In fact, when it comes to his work (which is often described as Pop Surrealism), color takes front and center stage.

With a stated goal of “coloring the world”, the Spanish painter and sculptor employs all the colors of the rainbow when he paints his geometric patterns. Inspired and very much shaped by street culture, in particularly graffiti, his work aims at transforming the world we live in: turning grey concrete into a work of art.

“I aim at converting the monochromatic concrete structures and buildings into vibrant places that are filled with color and positivity,” writes San Miguel on his website. “Helping and hoping to change the lives of people. I want people to stop looking at the pavement and start looking up and around.”

Another goal of his is to make art more accessible to the common man. “Art must be present in public spaces constantly and my mission is to transform these spaces in a way that passing through them is an enjoyable experience,” he notes.

Indeed, his art can be enjoyed around the world in the streets of countries like India, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Morocco, and Spain. Take a look at some recent noteworthy projects of his on Instagram.

]]> While some people might think that a needle and thread are only useful for patching up the holes in your jeans, award-winning textile artist, Sarah Gwyer, takes this medium to a-whole-nother level!

Using textiles has been around for centuries, but the ambitious Gwyer is interested in defining a new purpose for it. “The thread itself first attracted me to textile art…I love its heritage and feel passionately that textile art is too often overlooked in the art world. I wanted to play a small part in changing that,” she shared during her interview with TextileArtist.org. But arts & crafts have been in her genes for decades, too!

Ever since Gwyer was little, she knew she wanted to be an artist. “I grew up around lots of crafting. My maternal Grandfather was a wood carver; I used to love spending time in his workshop and this is where I first learned how to work in three dimensions,” Gwyer explained. Her passions as a child lead her to follow a career path in 2008. And along the way, she’s picked up her own unique style of art to share with the world.

Gwyer’s artwork is based on combining vibrant and colorful threading with beautiful beads and charms, in order to recreate images of people or famous artwork, in her own style.

Her process isn’t necessarily complex, but there’s no doubt that a heavy helping of patience is needed. Even though she sketches her designs on canvas in advanced, her secret to her beautiful work is to always start with the eyes, in order to keep the proportion accurate throughout the design.

]]> Artist Nara Shin from South Korea describes painting as a medium that allows her to understand things other than herself. As a child, she was into drawing and taught herself, but later she entered the Seoul Institute of the Arts and majored in digital art.

While growing up she used to live in the countryside surrounded by mountains and fields which seemed friendly in the daytime, but strange and scary at night.

“The mountain is a wonderful view, but it has a quiet and scary look somewhere. I don’t want to miss that feeling. I want to paint something that is friendly but weird and lovely but strange,” the artist said in an interview for Ballpit. “I embody the picture with the atmosphere that I feel in color. I can’t imagine what it’s like without color.”

We really enjoyed browsing through Shin’s Instagram page and we believe that you will enjoy it, too. Follow her for future updates.

Her illustrations, a hybrid of analog and digital work, are bold and vibrant – not something you’d likely miss, even within your busy Instagram feed. Spanning from editorial illustrations for magazines and children’s books to apps and e-books, Buurlage’s versatility is proof of her endless ingenuity.

As color is key to any one of her pieces, she admits to collecting color inspiration beforehand. “I take lots of pictures of cool color combinations (my last one was of a red onion with a baby blue potato peeler while cooking dinner), and I experiment with the use colors a lot,” she told The Monster Project. “I think that actually takes up most of my time while working on something new – determining what colors I should use to make the artwork look perfect!”

But when it comes to the actual work, it all starts with a brush and some ink. “I first draw everything by hand with a brush and black ink, and then I arrange all elements in Photoshop and color everything digitally,” she explained. “This works perfectly for me because I like both the roughness of hand-drawn details and the comfort of digital working and being able to make changes easily.”

Her two most favorite things to draw? Animals and botanicals. Follow her Instagram for more color:
