Whether it’s Van Gogh’s Starry Night to Monet’s Water Lilies, we all have our favorite work of art, but what if we told you there’s a way to always carry them with you? Hanna Hupalo made it possible to make famous paintings an essential part of your personal style by making beautiful earnings that mimic world-class masterpieces.

Hupalo is the mastermind behind the jewelry brand Namystynky, which she founded with her sister Oksana. They have both studied art design at the Lviv Academy of Arts in Ukraine, and their love for beaded jewelry inspired them to start their own brand.

“Initially, creating jewelry was our long-standing hobby, but after our art school training, we decided to launch a small business… My jewelry design focuses on decorative ornaments of Eastern Europe and other regions. I have also developed unique designs,” she explains on her Etsy page.

The most amazing thing about Namystynky’s beaded earrings is that they often celebrate the amazing works of art that we all know and love. Hupalo uses colorful beads to recreate some of the most recognizable masterpieces in the world, and we’ve seen her create jewelry inspired by Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Edgar Degas’ Dancers, and many more famous works of art.

There is something surprisingly appealing about big patches of colorful fabric joined together. Their fuzzy appearance makes you want to touch them and enjoy their softness. But while you can easily do this with rugs and wall decorations, you might want to keep your hands to yourself if you ever happen to come across textile installations by Sarah Zapata.

Zapata is a Texas native who creates intriguing textile art installations that feature high columns or various grounded shapes covered in fabric. Her works transform the space, taking the viewer on an exciting journey through the world of fabric one piece at a time.

 “I’m always thinking about how to occupy opposites and how to really be both and neither,” Zapata explained her approach to installations in a recent chat with Colossal. “I’m always trying to lean into this in-between space, not only physically but thinking about that in terms of time and accessing past, futurity, existing in the present, always this amorphous sense of time.”

Zapata’s art is strongly influenced by the textile traditions from Peru, the country where her father was born. Textile has played a major part in Peruvian history, and artworks using fabric can be dated back to the Paracas people, who lived in the area around 600 BC. Textile still has an important role in Peruvian culture, being used in ceremonies or as gifts for special occasions.

You will be able to see Zapata’s works in person at some of her upcoming exhibitions in Kansas City’s Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. If you can’t make it there, check out some of her textile art below.

The works of Ghanaian artist Kpe Innocent are dedicated to human figures. However, the artist has an intriguing approach to the subject, opting to build them through geometrical shapes.

In Innocent’s paintings, humans are presented as a sum of geometrical shapes and forms. As such, they are often disproportional, with small circles as their head, huge blocks to serve as their body, and long cylinders as limbs.

Innocent paints his human figures in neutral tones and minimalistic lines. They are either shown interacting with each other or dominating the canvas with their forms.

The artist explains that his fascination with humans comes from his faith. His paintings often carry affirmative titles with attached messages of spirituality.

“I am able to appreciate the process of creation, of producing something tangible and relevant out of nothing,” says Innocent about his works.

So far, Kpe Innocent had several solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States. His works were displayed in NIL Gallery in Paris, France, The Hole in New York, United States, and Moosey Art in London, UK. The artist also frequently shares his newest paintings on social media.

Shoes made out of tennis balls, shorts made out of bags of Haribo gummies, and basketball turned into a glove. These are all fashion ideas that Nicole McLaughlin turned into a reality.

McLaughlin, who works as a graphic designer at sportswear maker Rebook, uses her free time to push the boundaries of fashion. Her fashion creations are crafted using material that isn’t usually used for clothes and shoes and generally have a futuristic-like look.

According to McLaughlin, this is a passion project and a way to express his creativity. However, it also helps her generate ideas for her day job.

“I truly love the idea of personal projects, and I encourage everyone to do them, even if you’re not a designer,” she shares. “It’s self-gratification, and nobody can tell you you’re wrong because it’s yours!”

McLaughlin’s fashion items can sometimes look a bit over-the-top or downright bizarre. However, this is purposely so as it allows the designer to challenge the fashion norms. Her message to observers is to look at her creations with an open mind and not to take them “too seriously.”

The talented Boston-based designer usually shares her quirky fashion on Instagram, where she has more than 800K followers. Continue scrolling to see more of them below.

Usually, the best inspiration for creative work can be found in the things that surround you. Artist Bernie Kaminski employs this principle by recreating everyday objects using paper mache.

Kaminski’s sculpture portfolio consists of bags, clothes, food, boxes, sports equipment, and everything else you would usually find in someone’s home. The artist manages to recreate the objects to great detail but leaves small imperfections as a charming addition and a reminder for the viewer that they are viewing fake products.

In a recent chat with It’s Nice That, Kaminski revealed that he started doing paper mache almost by accident. His daughter wanted him to make her a basketball out of paper mache, and the first attempt was a resounding success.

Since then, Kaminski started to make paper mache on a regular basis “just to entertain myself.”

“I can’t really draw or paint, but when I started making paper mâché pieces, I thought they looked interesting enough to keep doing it, “he shared in a recent.

Kaminski shares his creations on Instagram and already has an admirable collection of paper mache pieces posted on social media. His works have received quite a lot of praise among internet users, who can’t wait to see what he’ll come up with next.

Suzie Grieve is a self-described “weaver of leaves and vines”. This UK-based artist and jewelry maker creates the most adorable miniature baskets and other containers using only the material harvested from nature. She mostly focuses on weeds and invasive plant species, including willow bark, dandelions, ivy, and honeysuckle.

The pieces Grieve makes mostly depend on the current season as she harvests the material from the woods and fields that surround her home. In the summer, for example, she focuses on pieces made from dandelions and willow bark. In the winter, she will turn to “long leafy things”. 

“There are many things I enjoy about weaving but most important, I think, is the beautiful and tactile way it allows you to connect with the seasons, the plants, and the land,” she says on her official website.

In order to make her miniature baskets, Grieve first has to prepare the plants. This is done by removing soft parts of the plant and drying the remaining fiber. After that, she soaks the fibers to make them flexible, and the weaving can begin.

Grieve is looking to introduce others to her technique and often shares tutorials on her Instagram page and website. She is also writing a book in which she’ll detail her entire creative process.

Humans are constantly progressing, exploring uncharted territories, and embracing technology. But by doing so, we are relinquishing control over our lives to all the things that are supposed to make it easier. This and other challenges that today’s society is dealing with are at the focal point of Italian artist Marco Melgrati’s work.

Melgrati creates captivating illustrations that serve as a powerful commentary on today’s society. They range from criticism to satire and skepticism but always make the viewer wonder about the world we live in. 

In some of his recent works, Melgrati focused on the influence of artificial intelligence and its growing role in our lives. These illustrations imagine a dark reality in which humans will rely on technology for creativity while they do physical work.

According to Melgrati, his works are influenced by everything he sees in the world that surrounds him, and this allows him to never have a lack of inspiration.

“When I’m drawing for myself, I just do what comes to mind,” said Melgrati in a recent interview. “Recently I’m moving quite often, changing place helps me to find inspiration and have different visions of reality.”

Shoes made out of tennis balls, shorts made out of bags of Haribo gummies, and basketball turned into a glove. These are all fashion ideas that Nicole McLaughlin turned into a reality.

McLaughlin, who works as a graphic designer at sportswear maker Rebook, uses her free time to push the boundaries of fashion. Her fashion creations are crafted using material that isn’t usually used for clothes and shoes and generally have a futuristic-like look.

According to McLaughlin, this is a passion project and a way to express his creativity. However, it also helps her generate ideas for her day job.

“I truly love the idea of personal projects, and I encourage everyone to do them, even if you’re not a designer,” she shares. “It’s self-gratification, and nobody can tell you you’re wrong because it’s yours!”

McLaughlin’s fashion items can sometimes look a bit over-the-top or downright bizarre. However, this is purposely so as it allows the designer to challenge the fashion norms. Her message to observers is to look at her creations with an open mind and not to take them “too seriously.”

The talented Boston-based designer usually shares her quirky fashion on Instagram, where she has more than 800K followers. Continue scrolling to see more of them below.

Usually, the best inspiration for creative work can be found in the things that surround you. Artist Bernie Kaminski employs this principle by recreating everyday objects using paper mache.

Kaminski’s sculpture portfolio consists of bags, clothes, food, boxes, sports equipment, and everything else you would usually find in someone’s home. The artist manages to recreate the objects to great detail but leaves small imperfections as a charming addition and a reminder for the viewer that they are viewing fake products.

In a recent chat with It’s Nice That, Kaminski revealed that he started doing paper mache almost by accident. His daughter wanted him to make her a basketball out of paper mache, and the first attempt was a resounding success.

Since then, Kaminski started to make paper mache on a regular basis “just to entertain myself.”

“I can’t really draw or paint, but when I started making paper mâché pieces, I thought they looked interesting enough to keep doing it, “he shared in a recent.

Kaminski shares his creations on Instagram and already has an admirable collection of paper mache pieces posted on social media. His works have received quite a lot of praise among internet users, who can’t wait to see what he’ll come up with next.

Suzie Grieve is a self-described “weaver of leaves and vines”. This UK-based artist and jewelry maker creates the most adorable miniature baskets and other containers using only the material harvested from nature. She mostly focuses on weeds and invasive plant species, including willow bark, dandelions, ivy, and honeysuckle.

The pieces Grieve makes mostly depend on the current season as she harvests the material from the woods and fields that surround her home. In the summer, for example, she focuses on pieces made from dandelions and willow bark. In the winter, she will turn to “long leafy things”. 

“There are many things I enjoy about weaving but most important, I think, is the beautiful and tactile way it allows you to connect with the seasons, the plants, and the land,” she says on her official website.

In order to make her miniature baskets, Grieve first has to prepare the plants. This is done by removing soft parts of the plant and drying the remaining fiber. After that, she soaks the fibers to make them flexible, and the weaving can begin.

Grieve is looking to introduce others to her technique and often shares tutorials on her Instagram page and website. She is also writing a book in which she’ll detail her entire creative process.

Humans are constantly progressing, exploring uncharted territories, and embracing technology. But by doing so, we are relinquishing control over our lives to all the things that are supposed to make it easier. This and other challenges that today’s society is dealing with are at the focal point of Italian artist Marco Melgrati’s work.

Melgrati creates captivating illustrations that serve as a powerful commentary on today’s society. They range from criticism to satire and skepticism but always make the viewer wonder about the world we live in. 

In some of his recent works, Melgrati focused on the influence of artificial intelligence and its growing role in our lives. These illustrations imagine a dark reality in which humans will rely on technology for creativity while they do physical work.

According to Melgrati, his works are influenced by everything he sees in the world that surrounds him, and this allows him to never have a lack of inspiration.

“When I’m drawing for myself, I just do what comes to mind,” said Melgrati in a recent interview. “Recently I’m moving quite often, changing place helps me to find inspiration and have different visions of reality.”
