When British artist Justin Bateman does it, he becomes one step closer to creating an ephemeral masterpiece. Bateman creates astonishingly detailed celebrity portraits with pebbles he finds in nature. He manages to capture the likeness of actors, musicians, and historical figures, in such a way that it is hard to believe you are just looking at a bunch of perfectly arranged stones. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Justin Bateman (@pebblepicassos) To make this fascinating art, Bateman goes through a painstaking process that requires sourcing hundreds and sometimes thousands of pebbles in different colors and arranging them in a perfect sequence to display a recognizable image. He does this despite knowing that his creation won’t be intact for too long and will surrender itself to rain, wind, or tide.  “My nomadic existence would not be compromised by easels, oils, chisels, or any other equipment necessary for conventional processes. I could work anywhere, anytime and maintain consistent practice, even whilst on the road… as long as I could find stones,” Bateman shared in a recent interview with Forbes.

It can be repetitive and most artists run away from repetition. However, Boston-based artist Stuart Dunkel doesn’t seem to have this issue. The majority of Dunkel’s artistic output in the past decades revolved around creating adorable oil paintings featuring a small white mouse named Chuckie. The mouse usually interacts with food and toys or engages in mischievous adventures. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stuart Dunkel (@stuartdunkel) Dunkel, who has been engaged in visual arts since the 1990s, started painting Chuckie as a joke. His wife was scolding him about leaving crumbs in the kitchen, so he decided to turn it into a joke. He painted a mouse as part of the still painting he was working on and said it was actually the mouse who is creating all that mess. After sharing laughs with his wife, Dunkel decided to submit the painting to a gallery show and immediately sold it. He began creating more mouse paintings and they became his calling card. “The mouse series was really successful and people really responded to it. I’m very mischievous so the mice paintings are a good vehicle for who I am,” Dunkel said in an interview with The Avid Pen.

Its aim was to combine an individual vision of art and design with functionality and mass production. Bauhaus remains influential in modern times, with its principles still being used in architecture, product design, and art. It also serves as an inspiration for artists, who are applying Bauhaus to their works in an unexpected way. One of them is Australian artist Elisha, aka Bauhaus Your Haus. She creates artworks in which, as she puts it, “Bauhaus design meets pop culture.” These artworks use recognizable elements of Bauhaus design, including clean lines, bold colors, and simple geometric shapes.  Elisha’s art features depictions of celebrities, superheroes, and characters from movies, TV shows, and video games. The list includes retired sprinter Usain Bolt, Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, the version of superhero Wolverine from the X-Men ’97 animated series, Heath Ledgers’ version of the villain Joker, Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch aka Cap’n Crunch, and many more. Elisha shares her newest creations on social media and offers them as posters on her Etsy shop. You can check them out by scrolling below.

She is best known for her landscape paintings that look familiar and mysterious at the same time. In her artworks, Quiñonez captures places she has visited and seen before. However, she presents them in a fragmented way, omitting key elements and disguising familiarity with blurry and distorted elements. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myrna Quiñonez (@myrnaquinonez) The essence of Quiñonez’s approach is her goal of exploring the relationship of people with landscapes in the age of technology. Nowadays, we experience breathtaking sights mostly through screens, distorting our perception and resulting memories of them. Additionally, artists no longer need to go outdoors to create landscape paintings as they are just a few clicks away from accessing a photo of a landscape that shows it in perfect condition. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myrna Quiñonez (@myrnaquinonez) “I explore landscape, repetitive patterns in nature, traditional oil painting and the impact that new media, screens and technology have on us, changing how we perceive the world,” Quiñonez explains on her website. “As a result my paintings look like images edited on a computer. Absence, fragmentation and movement are characteristics of my work.” You can check out more of Quiñonez’s intriguing landscape paintings on her social media or by scrolling below.

They are not only exceptionally done but also contain messages and symbolism that will make you think long and hard about modern life. Schmitz’s artworks show everyday situations on a seemingly exaggerated scale that looks less outrageous the more you look at it. For example, one of his illustrations shows a family sitting at a dinner table. But while the rest of the family is eating their meal, the father is shown converting half of it into a working desk and being fully focused on his job. This perfectly captures the modern work culture that sees people taking their work home and letting it consume them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by stephan schmitz (@schmitz_illustration) According to Schmitz, he aims to “surprise” the viewer with his works while making them think about a certain subject and encouraging them to figure out the message behind it. “I think it is very satisfying for the person looking at the image to decipher the image and understand what the artist meant by it. Basically like understanding a joke or seeing a magic trick,” Schmitz shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda. Scroll down to check out more of Schmitz’s thought-provoking works below.

For example, we often celebrate artworks that are complex and full of details. But this doesn’t mean that minimalistic art can’t be just as captivating, and the works by the French creative studio Loooop are a great example of that. On their website, Loooop says they are “obsessed with the entire spectrum of line art illustrations. “It takes just one look at their artworks to see that the description is quite fitting. It appears that there is nothing that the team of artists from Loooop can’t draw with just one line. From simple objects like heart and clouds to full on portraits of celebrities and pop culture characters, their one-line works are a true testament to talent and creativity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Loooop Studio (@onelinefever)  “With our unique narrative approach, we turn elaborate concepts into simple and memorable stories,” Loooop shares. Despite looking simplistic, one-line work requires a lot of patience and effort to be done right. It can take hours for Loooop’s artist to find the right stroke for even the most basic designs.

Chen creates hyper-realistic depictions of wildlife while putting them in surreal scenarios that intrigue the viewer’s imagination. Chen’s paintings prominently feature birds as main subjects, influenced by the artist’s love for nature and fascination with birds. Additionally, the birds represent “symbols of her personal stories.” “Nature is pure magic, and I create work channeling that wonder, notably casting birds as the main characters who tell my stories,” she explained in a recent chat with Canvas Rebel. “Birds to me are so fascinating. They are a huge species in which every type of bird looks different and each performs their own way of life.” Chen started her artistic journey more than two decades ago, working as an assistant to fine artists after leaving college and abandoning her goal of becoming an animator. The experience helped her master the demanding Old Master techniques and get familiar with working on large-scale art projects. Soon, she started creating fine art herself and it didn’t took long for the quality and captivating elements of her paintings to capture the attention of reputable art galleries and art enthusiasts.

French artist Julien Durix decided to change that by making them part of his artworks. Durix creates intriguing pieces known as “paintbrushes sculptures” in which paintings emerge from giant paintbrushes. They are made in such a way that it appears just one swoop of the paintbrush was needed for an entire image to show up. His paintbrushes sculptures feature an array of different subjects. Sometimes, they depict detailed and captivating depictions of Geishas, while other times, they feature pop-culture characters, animals, and even street art elements.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by French Traditional & Pop Artist • Julien Durix (@juliendurix) Durix says that he was raised in “an artistic environment” since early childhood and decided to dedicate himself fully to art at the age of 21. He likes to feature protagonists from his childhood in his works while also enjoying mixing eras and characters that don’t have anything in common at first glance. “He paints as he breathes, and he invites us to join him in this world full of colors where he gives free rein to his overflowing imagination,” it says on the artist’s website.

That type of coziness we get is hard to describe or capture, but it is safe to say that the works of award-winning artist Ekaterina Popova do it in a great way. Popova creates paintings in which she captures the coziness of home. Inspired by post-impressionism, fauvism, and magical realism, and using a rich color palette, Popova paints bedrooms, living rooms, and other interior scenes that depict the personal spaces of people. Her works are full of intricate details, inviting the viewer to unpack them while making up their own story about those who inhabit these spaces. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ekaterina Popova (@katerinaspopova) “I am drawn in by light, color, texture, and also the untold stories a lot of spaces tell. Who lives here? What were they doing? What happened here? What feelings are present in the space? Can you smell the fresh-cut flowers or spring breeze? These are all the things I think about combined with my love of paint,” Popova shared in a recent interview with Beautiful Bizzare. Popova’s works have been exhibited across the United States and Europe, and are currently on view at Chicago’s Very Serious Gallery.

He painted a mouse as part of the still painting he was working on and said it was actually the mouse who is creating all that mess. After sharing laughs with his wife, Dunkel decided to submit the painting to a gallery show and immediately sold it. He began creating more mouse paintings and they became his calling card. “The mouse series was really successful and people really responded to it. I’m very mischievous so the mice paintings are a good vehicle for who I am,” Dunkel said in an interview with The Avid Pen.

Its aim was to combine an individual vision of art and design with functionality and mass production. Bauhaus remains influential in modern times, with its principles still being used in architecture, product design, and art. It also serves as an inspiration for artists, who are applying Bauhaus to their works in an unexpected way. One of them is Australian artist Elisha, aka Bauhaus Your Haus. She creates artworks in which, as she puts it, “Bauhaus design meets pop culture.” These artworks use recognizable elements of Bauhaus design, including clean lines, bold colors, and simple geometric shapes.  Elisha’s art features depictions of celebrities, superheroes, and characters from movies, TV shows, and video games. The list includes retired sprinter Usain Bolt, Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: Next Generation, the version of superhero Wolverine from the X-Men ’97 animated series, Heath Ledgers’ version of the villain Joker, Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch aka Cap’n Crunch, and many more. Elisha shares her newest creations on social media and offers them as posters on her Etsy shop. You can check them out by scrolling below.

She is best known for her landscape paintings that look familiar and mysterious at the same time. In her artworks, Quiñonez captures places she has visited and seen before. However, she presents them in a fragmented way, omitting key elements and disguising familiarity with blurry and distorted elements. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myrna Quiñonez (@myrnaquinonez) The essence of Quiñonez’s approach is her goal of exploring the relationship of people with landscapes in the age of technology. Nowadays, we experience breathtaking sights mostly through screens, distorting our perception and resulting memories of them. Additionally, artists no longer need to go outdoors to create landscape paintings as they are just a few clicks away from accessing a photo of a landscape that shows it in perfect condition. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myrna Quiñonez (@myrnaquinonez) “I explore landscape, repetitive patterns in nature, traditional oil painting and the impact that new media, screens and technology have on us, changing how we perceive the world,” Quiñonez explains on her website. “As a result my paintings look like images edited on a computer. Absence, fragmentation and movement are characteristics of my work.” You can check out more of Quiñonez’s intriguing landscape paintings on her social media or by scrolling below.

Wyburn is known for creating celebrity portraits using “anything and everything.” From Pop-Tarts and coffee to lipstick, this talented artist can make any material fitting for an artwork. So far, he has created a pop-art-inspired Marylyn Monroe portrait from pop tarts, Gordon Ramsay’s portrait from pizza toppings, and Elton John’s portrait from pieces of bread covered with Marmite spread.

They are not only exceptionally done but also contain messages and symbolism that will make you think long and hard about modern life. Schmitz’s artworks show everyday situations on a seemingly exaggerated scale that looks less outrageous the more you look at it. For example, one of his illustrations shows a family sitting at a dinner table. But while the rest of the family is eating their meal, the father is shown converting half of it into a working desk and being fully focused on his job. This perfectly captures the modern work culture that sees people taking their work home and letting it consume them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by stephan schmitz (@schmitz_illustration) According to Schmitz, he aims to “surprise” the viewer with his works while making them think about a certain subject and encouraging them to figure out the message behind it. “I think it is very satisfying for the person looking at the image to decipher the image and understand what the artist meant by it. Basically like understanding a joke or seeing a magic trick,” Schmitz shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda. Scroll down to check out more of Schmitz’s thought-provoking works below.

For example, we often celebrate artworks that are complex and full of details. But this doesn’t mean that minimalistic art can’t be just as captivating, and the works by the French creative studio Loooop are a great example of that. On their website, Loooop says they are “obsessed with the entire spectrum of line art illustrations. “It takes just one look at their artworks to see that the description is quite fitting. It appears that there is nothing that the team of artists from Loooop can’t draw with just one line. From simple objects like heart and clouds to full on portraits of celebrities and pop culture characters, their one-line works are a true testament to talent and creativity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Loooop Studio (@onelinefever)  “With our unique narrative approach, we turn elaborate concepts into simple and memorable stories,” Loooop shares. Despite looking simplistic, one-line work requires a lot of patience and effort to be done right. It can take hours for Loooop’s artist to find the right stroke for even the most basic designs. However, it is well worth it because, in the end, they end up with amazing creations. Check out more of their works below.

Chen creates hyper-realistic depictions of wildlife while putting them in surreal scenarios that intrigue the viewer’s imagination. Chen’s paintings prominently feature birds as main subjects, influenced by the artist’s love for nature and fascination with birds. Additionally, the birds represent “symbols of her personal stories.” “Nature is pure magic, and I create work channeling that wonder, notably casting birds as the main characters who tell my stories,” she explained in a recent chat with Canvas Rebel. “Birds to me are so fascinating. They are a huge species in which every type of bird looks different and each performs their own way of life.” Chen started her artistic journey more than two decades ago, working as an assistant to fine artists after leaving college and abandoning her goal of becoming an animator. The experience helped her master the demanding Old Master techniques and get familiar with working on large-scale art projects. Soon, she started creating fine art herself and it didn’t took long for the quality and captivating elements of her paintings to capture the attention of reputable art galleries and art enthusiasts.

French artist Julien Durix decided to change that by making them part of his artworks. Durix creates intriguing pieces known as “paintbrushes sculptures” in which paintings emerge from giant paintbrushes. They are made in such a way that it appears just one swoop of the paintbrush was needed for an entire image to show up. His paintbrushes sculptures feature an array of different subjects. Sometimes, they depict detailed and captivating depictions of Geishas, while other times, they feature pop-culture characters, animals, and even street art elements.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by French Traditional & Pop Artist • Julien Durix (@juliendurix) Durix says that he was raised in “an artistic environment” since early childhood and decided to dedicate himself fully to art at the age of 21. He likes to feature protagonists from his childhood in his works while also enjoying mixing eras and characters that don’t have anything in common at first glance. “He paints as he breathes, and he invites us to join him in this world full of colors where he gives free rein to his overflowing imagination,” it says on the artist’s website.

That type of coziness we get is hard to describe or capture, but it is safe to say that the works of award-winning artist Ekaterina Popova do it in a great way. Popova creates paintings in which she captures the coziness of home. Inspired by post-impressionism, fauvism, and magical realism, and using a rich color palette, Popova paints bedrooms, living rooms, and other interior scenes that depict the personal spaces of people. Her works are full of intricate details, inviting the viewer to unpack them while making up their own story about those who inhabit these spaces. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ekaterina Popova (@katerinaspopova) “I am drawn in by light, color, texture, and also the untold stories a lot of spaces tell. Who lives here? What were they doing? What happened here? What feelings are present in the space? Can you smell the fresh-cut flowers or spring breeze? These are all the things I think about combined with my love of paint,” Popova shared in a recent interview with Beautiful Bizzare. Popova’s works have been exhibited across the United States and Europe, and are currently on view at Chicago’s Very Serious Gallery.
