]]> You’re probably familiar with the works of artist Adam Hillman, who gained popularity on social media thanks to his satisfying arrangements of food and various everyday items. Parallel to this, Hillman has also been working on a series that saw him recreating famous paintings using the same formula.

Despite using unusual items like paperclips, fake pearls, and candy, Hillman manages to recreate classical artworks in such great detail that the viewer can instantly recognize them. For example, his version of Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is surprisingly on the spot despite being made with thousands of fake pearls and nothing else.

Even when Hillman’s recreations aren’t that straightforward, you are still left impressed with what he manages to achieve, considering the materials used. To recreate Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” the artist used TicTac candies that were arranged in their containers to reveal the image.

“I’ve been working on this piece for the last couple of months. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for sticking with me,” Hillman wrote in the caption of the photo.

So far, Hillman also recreated Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” using toothpicks, Vincent van Gogh’s “Self Portrait” using cereal, and Hokusai’s “Great Wave off Kanagawa” using paperclips. Check out these and more of his works below.

]]> Russian art critic Olga Tolstunova found an intriguing way to encourage people to pay attention to her works. She decided to become the very art she talks about by cosplaying as famous paintings.

Tolstunova uses Instagram as the main platform for sharing her views on art. Her process starts with recreating the art piece she wants to talk about to small details, turning herself into the subject of a particular painting. Then she posts a side-by-side photo of the art and her cosplay while going into detail about the piece in the caption. According to her, the caption is the most important part of the post, while the cosplay only serves as an attention-grabber.

Tolstunova’s art reviews go into great depth, giving the reader the background of the piece while revealing lesser-known facts and details about it as well. She also includes her view on the art and describes the impact it left on her.

Her unusual way of delivering art reviews proved to be quite popular. Tolstunova amassed around 66,000 followers on Instagram, while her posts get thousands of likes as soon as they get published.

You can check out more of her art reviews and cosplays below.
