Totally in awe of this elaborate historical paper costumes created by Belgian artist, Isabelle de Borchgrave. Inspired by a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art she began to work on four big collections all in paper and trompe l’oeil. Although noted today for fashion and paper folding the artist has never put aside her one and original driving force; painting, some of which can also be seen on her website.

These stunning 3-dimensional paintings are the creations of Thai mix-media artist, Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew, who created this innovative multi-layered technique using canvas, tulle, thread and netting. The artist not only paints the canvas but also paints the layers of tulle and netting giving the painting a holographic effect. The haunting images of his family are based on the Buddhist philosophy of “dukkha†an understanding that the nature of life is suffering and impermanence. You can follow the artist here on Facebook.

UK-based artist. Roy Tyson, creates images and installations using miniature figures. The miniature people known as Roy’s People, are hand painted to give them particular personalities that befit the setting being created. You can see more of his work on his website and you can follow him as well on Facebook. Here’s what he writes about the goal of his work:
“My work is all about trying to encourage everyone to see art in a different light. Sometimes, art can be boring, but I plan to challenge this by creating images that are intriguing, humorous, thought provoking and fun. I believe everyone can relate to my art in some way or another.”
