Eric Wert is a Portland, Oregon-based artist who specializes in oil paintings of still life. Influenced by works of notable Dutch Golden Age still life painters, Wert is creating astonishingly realistic depictions of fruit, flowers, and plants at the peak of their freshness.  

Wert has a long-time experience in scientific illustration, which plays a great part in his creative process. He is focused on getting every detail right, whether it’s adding a drop of water resting on a flower petal or getting the surface texture right to the very last spore.

According to Wert, he chooses common subjects like flowers and fruit because there is much more to them than we initially perceive.

“The experience of painting common subjects reveals just how unknowable they truly are. The more I look, the more mysterious the world becomes: we are on an alien planet enveloped by other life, “the artist shared in a recent chat with Realism Today.

Wert’s works have been exhibited all over the world and can be found in private and public collections. The artist also shares his newest works on social media while also providing his followers insight into his creative process. Scroll down to check more of his still life oil paintings.

The list of artists who found internet fame thanks to embroidery is pretty much endless and it’s not easy to make your mark on this oversaturated market. That didn’t stop Millie Amber from trying and her beaded embroidery is as stunning and whimsical as it gets.

Amber is an illustrator and textile artist based in London and her one-of-a-kind embroidery creations attracted 50,000 followers to her Instagram page so far. Her art is mostly inspired by nature, folk art, and mythology, revolving around poetic narratives and romantic symbolism.

“Her work is decorative, intricate and full of color, often focusing on the celebration of femininity and fantasy. She loves all things esoteric and ethereal, drawing inspiration from many places, but with a particular interest in nature, folk art and mythology,” explains Amber on her official website.

In addition to exploring the subjects that we don’t often get to see in other artists’ embroidery, Amber won us over with the unique techniques and materials she uses to bring her art to life. Instead of simply relying on needles and thread, she enjoys adding beads to the mix. They make her art even more dazzling and beautiful and give it a magical, dreamy quality.

When making her ceramic vessels, Italian ceramist and illustrator Clara Holt leans on the tradition of pottery in her native country as well as ancient ways of decorating and clay shaping. As a result, her works turn into these impressive mythology-inspired vessels that look great and practical.

According to Holt, she always liked myths and folklore stories and used to read them a lot when she was young. She later started researching mythology further and ended up combining it with her passion for pottery.

“I have always had a passion for classical literature, Greek epics, and the surrealist current, which guides my research and personal interpretation of my subjects,” Holt shares on her website. “Each piece is a one-off, illustrated with a drawing inspired by places, mythology, or childhood stories.”

While Holt combines several techniques, her favorite one is sgraffito. Popularized in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries, sgraffito includes covering an unfired ceramic body with glaze or color and then scraping it off in order to create contrasting images, patterns, or lettering. Besides making pots, vases, and other vessels, Holt applies her unique style to handmade ceramic tiles.

Holt frequently shares her newest creations on social media. Continue scrolling to check out more of them.

YJ Park is a painter and sculptor from South Korea whose works have been featured in a number of solo and group exhibitions in his native country and other parts of the world. In between making traditional art, Park also finds time to recreate pop culture characters as action figures.

Most artists start their paintings with a sketch on canvas or a brushstroke. However, Greek artist Stelios Pupet developed a different technique that makes his artworks quite captivating.

Pupet’s paintings start with a grid structure. From there, the artist fills out each grid with color, building a striking image that looks slightly distorted but still represents a whole composition. A particular grid doesn’t always seamlessly follow the ones that surround it, further adding to the uniqueness of the piece.

According to Pupet, he first started using the grid technique several years ago when wanting to transform a digital sketch into a silicon print. He was intrigued by the possibilities that grids added to his creative process, so he started using them in his other works.

“What happened is that I used to paint in a more traditional style, but I was always trying to find different ways to imprint reality through my works,” Pupet explained in a recent interview.

Pupet is now using his grids approach to create paintings that became popular among art collectors around the world. He is also translating this unique style to other works, such as a recent mural in Zaragoza, Spain.

In the streets of Brazil, a unique form of street art is gaining attention. Fábio Gomes Trindade, a talented Brazilian street artist has developed a way to blend urban art with nature. He paints colorful portraits on brick walls, strategically positioning them so that trees growing behind the walls become an integral part of the artwork. The result is breathtaking. The tree branches and leaves transform into the hair of his portrait subjects.

The Fusion of Urban Art and Nature

Fabio’s approach is a testament to creative innovation in street art. By incorporating living trees into his portraits, he brings a dynamic and organic element to his work. The trees add not just a three-dimensional aspect but also a sense of life and growth to the static images.

Creating a Visual Symphony

The process of creating these artworks is as fascinating as the result. The artist has to carefully select locations where the natural growth of the trees aligns with his artistic vision. He paints each stroke with the tree in mind.

A Reflection on the Human-Nature Connection

Beyond its visual appeal, this art form is a profound commentary on the relationship between humans and nature. And what a great reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and ways.

Most artists start their paintings with a sketch on canvas or a brushstroke. However, Greek artist Stelios Pupet developed a different technique that makes his artworks quite captivating.

Pupet’s paintings start with a grid structure. From there, the artist fills out each grid with color, building a striking image that looks slightly distorted but still represents a whole composition. A particular grid doesn’t always seamlessly follow the ones that surround it, further adding to the uniqueness of the piece.

According to Pupet, he first started using the grid technique several years ago when wanting to transform a digital sketch into a silicon print. He was intrigued by the possibilities that grids added to his creative process, so he started using them in his other works.

“What happened is that I used to paint in a more traditional style, but I was always trying to find different ways to imprint reality through my works,” Pupet explained in a recent interview.

Pupet is now using his grids approach to create paintings that became popular among art collectors around the world. He is also translating this unique style to other works, such as a recent mural in Zaragoza, Spain.

Even the simplest family moments have a delightful beauty to them. Whether it’s parents playing with their children, sharing embraces, or enjoying everyday activities, these moments come with a heartwarming feeling that captivates everyone who has a chance to witness them. 

Artist Soosh captures the beauty of these family moments through a series of moving illustrations. Made with watercolors, these illustrations are a joy to look at, radiating with love, emotion, and appreciation.

According to the artist, she has always been keen to observe the way people interact with those close to them. It is these scenes that provide an endless source of inspiration for her illustrations.

“My main focus has always been people. Their facial expressions, their mimics, their gestures, their acts of kindness, and their weaknesses – all of it is so fascinating and intriguing for me,” Soosh explained their creative process in a recent interview with Creative Mind Class. “Afterwards, it’s just a matter of time, a couple of pencils and some watercolor to dive in and bring to life those daily pictures on paper.”

Soosh regularly shares her newest illustrations on social media. She also published two children’s books to date, Mermaid and Me and Dad By My Side. You can check out more of her works below.

In the streets of Brazil, a unique form of street art is gaining attention. Fábio Gomes Trindade, a talented Brazilian street artist has developed a way to blend urban art with nature. He paints colorful portraits on brick walls, strategically positioning them so that trees growing behind the walls become an integral part of the artwork. The result is breathtaking. The tree branches and leaves transform into the hair of his portrait subjects.

The Fusion of Urban Art and Nature

Fabio’s approach is a testament to creative innovation in street art. By incorporating living trees into his portraits, he brings a dynamic and organic element to his work. The trees add not just a three-dimensional aspect but also a sense of life and growth to the static images.

Creating a Visual Symphony

The process of creating these artworks is as fascinating as the result. The artist has to carefully select locations where the natural growth of the trees aligns with his artistic vision. He paints each stroke with the tree in mind.

A Reflection on the Human-Nature Connection

Beyond its visual appeal, this art form is a profound commentary on the relationship between humans and nature. And what a great reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and ways.
