For some people, painting can be quite of a challenge. For others, it is an easy undertaking that they can do in their sleep or even by using a marionette as Mexican artist Victor Arioso shows.
Arioso has been wowing social media users with his performances in which he uses a marionette to paint celebrity portraits and recreations of famous artworks.
In videos posted on his TikTok profile Galeria Morionet, Arioso can be seen operating a marionette in a tiny art studio. Pulling the strings, he guides the marionette to do everything an artist would do, from dipping the brush into the paint palette to performing brush strokes on a small canvas.
To make it even more impressive, the paintings “created” by the marionette are quite good and resemble something a real artist would paint.
It is safe to say that social media users are amazed by these creations.
“This is insane, at first I thought the paintings were done beforehand, but this is next level,” one person commented.
“this is amazing! I’ve never seen anything like this before,” another added.
Arioso is based in Coyoacán, Mexico, where he regularly showcases his marionette painting sessions on the streets. Continue scrolling to check out more.
