Brazilian artist Carlos Meira is really genius when it comes to making paper sculptures and different paper designs. He’s most well know by his Brazil themed work, but he has done a few commercials too. Here you can see some of his most interesting pieces of work. I hope you’ll enjoy watching them.

Wonderful art by Odwin Rensen
Have a look at these great pieces of art made by Odwin Rensen. His work is really amazing and realistic. Odwin is mostly painting figurative oil paintings, and his models are celebrities, people from everyday life and children and even animals.
Amazing oil paintings
The amazing oil paintings in these photos are the work of Paul Robert and they really show off his incredible artistic talent. He takes everyday life scenes and turns them into pieces of art. His work is fulled with supple details and that is what makes his paintings look so realistic at the end. Enjoy!
Beautiful and Realistic Sculptures
Have a look at these amazing and realistic dolls made by Russian artist Alexandra Kokinova. Alexandra is a frequent guest and winner of various international dolls exhibitions. Her limited edition dolls are hand made from porcelain have height up to 60 cm. Gorgeous costumes are made from silk and decorated with natural fur, beads and subtle laces. All the details of the costumes from the last ribbon to the tiniest pearl on the dress are reproduced with amazing technical and artistic skill. Semi-precious and precious stones and antique knickknacks are often used as accessories. Each doll is the result of painstaking work and is absolutely unique. Hope you’ll like them!
In the mood
We’ve had Vogue’s collection from September 2004 by Steven Meisel, now here you can see the work of the same well known photogrpaher for September 2009, called “In the mood”, where are presented famous models Karen Elsen, Liya, Sasha and Victoriya. Enjoy!
The most expensive paintings
This is a list of the highest known prices paid for paintings. Since that time sales of the most valuable paintings have usually been made at auctions, though that had by no means always been the case before, and the list below still shows some “private sales”, including the three most expensive. The current record price was paid for a work from No. 5, 1948 by Jackson Pollock sold at US$140 million in 2006, (approx. $150.6 million in CPI-adjusted 2010 US dollars)
1. No. 5, 1948 by Jackson Pollock - $150.6 million
Beautiful and realistic pencil drawings
Have a look at these amazing and inspiring pencil drawings. Some of them are so realistic I thought they are black and white photography. I hope you’ll like them as much as I did.
Russia in beautiful oil paintings of Paul Ryzhenko
Artist Paul Ryzhenko is the author of these amazing oil paintings that are presenting Russia as beautiful and traditional country.
Beautiful oil paintings by Rob Hefferan
Born in 1968 in Warrington, Chashire, Rob Hefferan is exceptionally talented figurative artist. His work not only captures the unique character and warmth of each subject but transcends form to suggest the living, breathing essence of the individual.
Moving portraits by Mehmet Akin
Mehmet Akin is doctor/photographer from Turkey, Izmir. He’s 50 years old and as I said before, taking photos isn’t his first vocation, but nevertheless he does it amazingly well. His basic muse and inspiration is his homeland, Turkey with its breathtaking landscapes and its wonderful people. Here you can have a look at some samples of the portraits that he has taken of old people in his country. They are very moving and you can see the mark of time on their faces. It’s almost like every face is telling his own story and testifying that human destiny (kismet) is a thing greater than human himself.
Anime by Range Murata
Renji “Range” Murata (born October 2, 1968 in Osaka) is a Japanese artist and designer, known for his unique style combining Art Deco and Japanese anime elements. He is best known for his conceptual design work on anime series Last Exile and Blue Submarine No. 6.
Amazing movie illustrations
These amazing movie illustrations are made by Justin Reed, an artist that focuses heavily on the movies and pop culture in creating his work. Here are some of his best illustrations of the most classic films in history and characters that made a difference and probably affected the lives of everybody in some small part. His work is making new art from another art, simply by changing the means of expression. I hope you’ll like it.
The 80’s action heroes
The beauty of a female body
Female body has always been an inexhaustible source of inspirations and an eternal muse for all artists, poets, painters, musicians, etc. Have a look at these great and aesthetic photos of female body below and you’ll see why it is that way. The lusty curves and refined lines of women bodies are simply irresistible and automatically trigger the inspiration. Enjoy!
Home made loony art
This reminds me of the movie “Space Jam” when cartoon characters say: “We’re not loony enough?” and then start pooling out all sorts of crazy stuff and cool jokes just to show how insane they are. Well, this artwork is sort of like that. It seems to me like someone has gone a bit mad about something in his own home and decided to turn his craziness into art, because we all know how mental artists are. And you know what? It looks like a great fun. I might try this out! 
Slithering art of Guido Mocafico
Guido Mocafico‘s art work gives you chills, but still you can’t deny that it looks quite impressive and beautiful. Besides his serpent work, which is the most popular, this artist also likes clock mechanisms, nature mort, medusa, and other scary animals such as spiders. I’m not sure why is it like that, but it’s like the author is trying to scare us and impress us at the same time. Even his nature mort or the so called still-life, is somewhat spooky. He is presenting images of dead fish, a rabbit that is about to be striped, etc. He makes us watch the real life without any make up. It might be a bit frightening and repulsive at the beginning, but then you get used to it and accept the nature as it is, raw and powerful.
India or Utopia
Usually when we go on a trip or travel to some well know touristic destination, we all take somewhat the same photos. But it is the true artist who manages to see beyond the obvious and catch existing beauty that lies within. These photos of India look like they have been taken by the hand of an optimist, or simply someone who is able to look a bit deeper. I wish we could use photoshop in the real life to get rid of the poverty, illness, and all the problems that we have and that we live with today. But, it remains the privilege of a photographer.
Weapon art
Have a look at these interesting and original art works that are made not by a paint brush, or a pencil, but by weapons. It’s nice to see that not all weapons are used to kill people, but some of them are used to create art. It’s a pretty neat idea, and it sends a beautiful massage. It would be great if all guns could be used only this way and in this purpose.
Amazing sculptures made out of car parts
Those sculptures are made by Austrian Artist James Corbett, he creates them by using old car parts taken from scrap yards. Then he sells his creations for thousands of pounds! If that isn’t art I don’t know what is… It’s a nice a supple way of reminding people to recycle and take care of their waste. With all companies going green almost everything is in some part made out of garbage. So, why should modern art be any different?
It’s really an amazing work, take a look!
Smoky art
Have a look at this interesting new sort of art. It is the smoke art. Abstract photography is nothing new, and people constantly come up with new — or re-invent old — versions of photography techniques. One of the ones that is going like wild-fire (excuse the pun) around the interwebs at the moment is the art of photographing colored smoke. In case you’d like to try it out yourself, here are a few useful tips on how it’s done.
Beautiful pecil drawings
I always admired portraits, and I even tried a few times to draw some sketches of my family members. They were OK but not as nearly as these below. These pencil portraits of celebrities are absolutely amazing and so real looking. For some of these I firstly thought they were photography, but they aren’t. I would really like to meet the author of this work. It’s really worth of every admiration. I hope you’ll like them too the way that I did. Enjoy!
