“I’m passionate about furniture, interior design, art installations, architecture and of course about graphic design,” he shared with Grafik. “I always try to mix these different influences within my own work. There is something interesting to me about the compositions I can create and the way that shapes interact with each other, together with a sense of space or volume, and referring mostly to real materials.”

Born in Buenos Aires and having spent many years living and working in Copenhagen and Berlin, Zoraidez has recently returned to his native country, where he continues his practice. Each project requires much planning beforehand, fleshing out his ideas first before committing them to paper.

“I really try to develop my ideas for each piece of work outside of the screen, and then after some time I build up something to try out in digital,” explains Zoraidez. “That is when my visual development process really starts. One thing leads to another. When I’m working on the first round of designs, I enjoy making the most of the freedom to create whatever comes to my mind, and whatever I find interesting for that project. From that starting point, you can choose the right way to move forward.”

His work requires translating complicated concepts into simple compositions. “I like to see how shapes and objects interact with each other, and how I can use the way that they look to communicate an idea,” he notes. “Whether in motion or as still image, this is the way I approach a project.”

Take a look at some of his outstanding work:

Born in 1976 in Damaia, the artist was first introduced to graffiti back in the mid-90s. A decade later, thanks to his anamorphosis technique, the completely self-taught Odeith has become internationally recognized. Now he is best known for his compositions painted in corners or flat walls that create a 3D optical illusion effect.

Images of spiders, frogs, bugs, fish, and birds are just some of the creatures the artist depicts. Some of them look like animals you can see only in a science horror fiction flick. During his career, Odeith has spray-painted walls all around the world and was contacted by big corporations, including Coca-Cola, Samsung, and Shell.

He documents his work on Instagram where his photos regularly get tens of thousands of likes from his 758,000 followers. Scroll down and check them out.

“I was really into dinosaurs and their fossils as a little kid. When I got older, I thought skulls were very badass, so I would draw them often,” the artist shared in a state for Bored Panda. “Skulls were among the first things that I had at least some idea of how to sculpt. The first one I was proud of looks terrible in retrospect!”

Characters like Minnie Mouse, Tweety, Sponge Bob, and Goofy are featured in his gallery. In the description, the artist put their hilarious zoological names and the year when their character first aired.

But that doesn’t mean the art they produce is great. Usually, it’s adorable, but not all too realistic. They get better with age, but it’s hard to imagine a 6-year-old kid’s first drawing hanging in a museum. They usually end up hanging on the fridge at home for a while, before being set aside for the next drawing.

One dad decided to go the extra mile with his kid’s drawing. Dom’s father, a photoshop wiz, turns Dom’s drawing into realistic looking, 3D art, and shares it on Instagram, in his account, Thing I Have Drawn.

Dom’s dad doesn’t alter a thing in the original drawing. If the doodle is slanted, disproportionate, missing a crucial member like a nose or and eye – the digital recreation will be slanted, disproportionate un incomplete.

The end result is as creepy as it is adorable. The 3D images look like monsters or aliens, but they also provide a rare glimpse into children’s imaginative perspective. And above all, it’s adorable evidence of one dad’s devotion to his kid.

Growing up, he was surrounded by art, so the idea to start doing it himself came naturally. He first started painting on canvases, later he discovered graffiti and was immediately drawn to it.

“The idea was born from the desire to get out of the box, and in all my designs I try to send messages of unease, the joy of life and what surrounds me,” the artist told Bored Panda.

His popularity has grown through the years, and currently, he has more than 21k Instagram followers and hundreds of likes on each post. If you are curious to see his art, check out the gallery below or follow him on Instagram for more.

By incorporating rich and vibrant color palettes, her aim is to deliver imagery that surpasses the brief – focusing on a strong use of color and composition. “When I am creating an illustration in 3D, I start by collecting a lot of real-life references,” she explained her process in an interview with Ballpitmag.

“Once I visualize it in my head, I go straight to 3D and build basic shapes,” she adds. “I spend a good amount of time on creating compositions with those basic shapes. Composition is key! At this stage, I prefer lighting my scene as it helps me in composing and see how shapes react to light. Then I get into adding details to those 3D shapes, play with materials and render to bring my imagination to life.”

After many years of playing around with different aesthetics, she says that she found a passion for creating surreal digital spaces. “I take inspiration from photography, architecture, modern art and textiles,” she says, adding that she looks up to artists like Constantin Brâncuși, Peter Tarka and Cabeza Patata.

Enter her digital world.

His artwork, clean and very much on point, creates mesmerizing visual experiences, even if you’re not the artistic sort of person. But though the finished result is nothing short of spectacular, Tarka says his workflow isn’t anything special.

“I’m a really horrible drawer,” he told Medium,“so I always start the with 3D. Colors and textures are usually the last step for me and there’s a lot of mixing in that stage. I’ve got a selection of my 30–35 favorite kind of materials and I try to mix them with colors and textures to get the right results.”

Drawn to architecture since a very young age, he says that moving to 3D was the natural step for him. “The super realistic and sci-fi designs that were dominating the 3D scene back then didn’t appeal to me, so I decided to move to a bit more of an illustrative approach,” he says.

The most amazing part about Tarka? The fact that he’s taught himself everything he needed to know. “I’m fully self taught, studied economics and dropped out of school after obtaining my bachelor degree,” he says. “I didn’t even think about doing a masters degree.”

Rodrigo Miguel Sepúlveda Nunes, a.k.a. Vile, is an artist from Portugal that loves to write his name on walls. Vile has studied cartoon & animation films, as well as drawing and illustration simultaneously. He made his first graffiti at the age of 14. He started as an independent artist in 2007 and mastered different kinds of techniques which allow him to bring the walls to life. 

One of his trademarks is writing his name in 3D while making it look like it was carved or cut out of the wall. By using very carefully selected colors, he creates an illusion that the letters in his name are revealing the inside of the building or simply shows us what’s on the other side of the wall. First, he creates sketches that will fit on the walls and then he creates adequate color schemes based on the hues that are on the wall or the object.

“I use two types of watercolor pencils – Lyra, because it’s soft and light – Karat, because it’s a little harder and darker and creates depth,” the artist shared with Bored Panda. I mix them with water and acrylic colors.”

According to Naicker, who is in fact deaf, she will be taking a break from 3D paintings on her hand and start focusing on other types of artwork.

The artist shares her work on her social media accounts Facebook, where she has attracted over 4.6 followers and YouTube where she shares the whole painting process.
