Tania Lissova, a paper artist from Russia, found a unique and beautiful way to express her creativity. She makes tiny paper plants and flower bouquets using small pieces of paper that she carefully cuts and shapes, then glues together into wonderful little paper sculptures. Lissova’s art brought her almost 400,000 Instagram followers and you can follow her, too, if you’d like to see more of her work.

Lissova was an architecture and art student when she explored other artists’ work trying to find inspiration for her own work. She finally found paper art to be something she enjoys the most and she turned it from a hobby into a full-time job over time.

During a Q&A session on her Instagram page, a follower asked Lissova about the secret of her continuous creativity. She replied: “There’s no secret. I just love what I do. It motivates me to keep creating.”

Josephine Lee, AKA Princess Gollum, isn’t your typical Instagram girl. The Korean-American model, visual artist, and global sensation has her own unique style that is part angelic, part gothic. Experimenting with makeup, clothes, and attitude, her creative spirit has caught the attention of brands like Obey, Opening Ceremony, and Milk Makeup, all of which have collaborated with her.

“I’m constantly inspired by the world around me,” admits Lee in an interview with Flaunt. “I never know when I’ll be inspired. It could be of a sculpture made of spider webs then maybe I could be enamored by the trash I see floating down the drain. I’ve also noticed that inspiration is a perspective. I could see something one day and feel nothing at all then see it again in a different light and it would be everything to me.”

Her inspirations resulted in a plethora of personas, with much experimentation. “I’ve been through a few identity shifts in the last 6 years of my internet kingdom before becoming Princess Gollum,” she explained. “Princess Gollum is someone you don’t want to mess with. She’s still sweet and kind but she’s tougher than ever now, she knows what’s going on and she must be respected and protected at all costs.”

Mercedes Bellido is often described as one of the new promises of contemporary painting in Spain. Born in Zaragoza in 1991, she moved to Cuenca to study at the Faculty of Fine Arts and later moved to Madrid to study an Art Investigation Masters Degree. She has since participated in collective exhibitions around Spain, on top of her commercial work with brands as big as Zara, Nike, Chanel, Bershka, Reebok, and Urban Outfitters.

Known for her intense paintings, dense with symbolism (incorporating skulls, flora and fauna, as well as more fantastical motifs), her work has also attracted an impressive following online, with almost 40k fans on Instagram alone. “I think the internet is key to show your work and access content everywhere,” she reflected in an interview with Drawfolio, adding that “a negative aspect can be that your work is more easy to steal, but that’s a risk you take before playing the internet game. The most important thing is to keep working and using the internet in an adequate fashion.”

Her inspiration comes from a variety of sources, stating artists like Henri Rousseau, David Hockney, Aleksandra Waliszewska, and Giorgio De Chirico. “But I don’t get influenced only by painters or artists,” notes Bellido. “I get inspiration from childhood memories, things that draw my attention during the day-to-day, or books I’ve recently read. The most important thing is to find a way to make these ideas real and make them your own.”

Her advice to other aspiring artists out there: find a personal style you’re comfortable with, set up small goals to prevent burn-out. and put in the effort. Solid advice, if you ask us.

Bristol-based artist Ed Cheverton is all about having a good time. His creations – playful, quirky, and childlike – are a reflection of his character, and he admits that play is an essential part of his artistic process.

“Making art is one of the funnest things I can imagine, and that is mainly due to how much play can be introduced into art making,” he shared in an interview with Visual Melt. “It can be very easy to slip into a routine or a method of working that’s comfortable and reliable (something I’m very guilty of at times). Having as much play with a project as possible can usually produce outcomes you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.”

As such, his creative process includes getting his hard dirty. With a love of anything handmade, his artwork includes collage work, comics, and toy making. And with almost 20k followers on Instagram and clients that include TATE KidsAir France Magazine, and Family Store, it’s clear he’s not the only one having a good time.

“I’ve been making pictures and art for as long as I can remember, but I guess I started pursuing it as a career after I left school […] and did a degree in Illustration at the University of Brighton,” he relayed. “I feel very privileged in that I’ve always known what I wanted to do (make art) and so I have been working towards it all my life. Even though I studied Illustration and still work a lot as an Illustrator, I tend to classify myself as an artist and maker.”

Take a look at some of his more imaginative creations:

Amy Bennett combines two mediums of art – painting and miniature sculpting – with amazing results. Using cardboard, foam, wood, paint, and glue, she first assembles miniature models, constructing within them a tiny fictional scene. This scene is then translated onto canvas – zooming in on the dramatic scene she created beforehand.

Relying on her 3D models allows Bennett to manipulate the setting, offering complete control over lighting and composition, as well as a vantage point to achieve a certain dramatic effect. Her recent models included a town, neighborhood, lake, theater, doctor’s office, and church.

“My earlier paintings are more explicitly narrative,” explained Bennett on her website. “Similar to memory, they are glimpses of a fictional scene that might move the viewer to consider the moment before or after the one presented in the painting. I am interested in storytelling over time through repeated depictions of the same house or car or person, seasonal changes, and shifting vantage points.”

The narratives she creates, using both models and painting, are eerily silent – a sort of horror scene that unfolds in front of the viewer’s eyes. Peek inside her miniature worlds in the gallery below.

Spenser Little is a Californian artist who’s been making art from wire for the past 15 years. His works have been used on lamp posts and other street constructions around the world and it has been showcased in numerous exhibitions. 

Little creates most of his works from a single piece of wire, which only makes it more impressive. He bends the wire with a pair of pliers and that’s really all he does in terms of technique, though the results look much more complex.

He argues that “there’s no accounting on taste,” as he writes in his Instagram description. But we’re sure that, no matter your artistic taste, you can appreciate the talent and skill that’s behind the work of this amazing artist. The fact that he does it with unconventional material and comes up with his own, unique style only makes our point stronger. Scroll down to see his sculptures.

The video you can watch below shows the process of the restoration of a 1907 painting from the Museum of Modern Art. It features conservator Diana Hartman who’s an expert at solving problems, acquiring the needed tools, and doing the required work. She’s currently working on the conservation of a hundred-year-old painting by Paula Modersohn-Becker. The work is specific because it’s still on the original wood stretchers that the artist put the painting on, which means there are some logistical inconveniences that don’t usually appear.

In order to repair the painting, Hartman uses a microscope, eye surgery needles, and custom-shaped canvas patch that matches the original watercolors.

Her work is incredibly precise and truly impressive! Check out the video below to see how Hartman does it and to hear more about the restoration of this particular painting; the story gets pretty interesting!

Zaria Forman is a pastel artist who loves drawing glaciers. She often travels around the world and joins scientific expeditions where she has the chance to experience glaciers firsthand and to take many reference photos. When she comes home to Brooklyn, she turns her experiences into incredibly realistic pastel drawings. 

She draws using both her memory and the photos she took for reference. “Occasionally I will re-shape the ice a little, or simplify a busy background to create a balanced composition, but 90% of the time I am depicting the exact scene that I witnessed, because I want to stay true to the landscape that existed at that point in time,” the artist told This is Colossal.

Climate change is one of the biggest problems society faces today. Forman, just like many other artists, uses her talent to draw attention to it and to motivate people to do whatever they can in order to prevent it. Scroll down to see her works.

Ava Roth is an artist who collaborates with the most interesting colleagues. Instead of choosing fellow human artists to create projects with, she’s working with honey bees that help her create mixed media collages.

The artwork they create together combines embroidery, honeycomb, fabric, beadwork, and tree bark. First, Roth builds artworks inside the comb frames and then lets the bees complete them by creating honeycomb patterns.

“This project is a collaboration in the truest sense. It involves careful listening, respecting the bees, and cooperating with them entirely, from the choice of materials, size, timing, and scope of design,” the artist told This is Colossal. She notes that she wants to celebrate the amazing work honeybees do and to match it with “sewings that invoke their delicate and ephemeral comb.”

The work is specific because it’s still on the original wood stretchers that the artist put the painting on, which means there are some logistical inconveniences that don’t usually appear.

In order to repair the painting, Hartman uses a microscope, eye surgery needles, and custom-shaped canvas patch that matches the original watercolors.

Her work is incredibly precise and truly impressive! Check out the video below to see how Hartman does it and to hear more about the restoration of this particular painting; the story gets pretty interesting!

Zaria Forman is a pastel artist who loves drawing glaciers. She often travels around the world and joins scientific expeditions where she has the chance to experience glaciers firsthand and to take many reference photos. When she comes home to Brooklyn, she turns her experiences into incredibly realistic pastel drawings. 

She draws using both her memory and the photos she took for reference. “Occasionally I will re-shape the ice a little, or simplify a busy background to create a balanced composition, but 90% of the time I am depicting the exact scene that I witnessed, because I want to stay true to the landscape that existed at that point in time,” the artist told This is Colossal.

Climate change is one of the biggest problems society faces today. Forman, just like many other artists, uses her talent to draw attention to it and to motivate people to do whatever they can in order to prevent it. Scroll down to see her works.

Ava Roth is an artist who collaborates with the most interesting colleagues. Instead of choosing fellow human artists to create projects with, she’s working with honey bees that help her create mixed media collages.

The artwork they create together combines embroidery, honeycomb, fabric, beadwork, and tree bark. First, Roth builds artworks inside the comb frames and then lets the bees complete them by creating honeycomb patterns.

“This project is a collaboration in the truest sense. It involves careful listening, respecting the bees, and cooperating with them entirely, from the choice of materials, size, timing, and scope of design,” the artist told This is Colossal. She notes that she wants to celebrate the amazing work honeybees do and to match it with “sewings that invoke their delicate and ephemeral comb.”

Scroll down to see the result of this unusual collaboration.
