Dolmenna’s images are carefully crafted, using only natural lighting and liquids such as milk, coffee, sugar, egg yolks and sometimes even fruits and vegetables. But what she is really famous for is her authentic technique which allows her to create art using drops of water. Her “water art” got so much attention from the world that it was lauded in the Huffington Post and French magazines and even appeared in Indian newspapers and Japanese media. 

Her work reminds us how thinking outside of the box can find beauty in everyday ordinary things and transform them into pieces of art. For example, a spilled glass of milk on a black background becomes a zebra, chopped kiwi becomes a turtle, and waterdrops on a bathroom mirror become a child’s footprint. And so much more!

“At the heart of my YouTube channel is the idea that making the artifacts of our everyday life, things like cookies, calendars or greeting cards, into things of beauty is an important task,” she says. “It’s uplifting. First, because the process of creativity is so wonderful, and second, because it’s just lovely to be surrounded by lovely things.”

Indeed, Campbell Youtube channel, as well as her Instagram page, will inspire you to surround yourself by lovely things. Those don’t have to be expensive, in fact you can make them yourself.

Her channel is all about getting creative, no matter your skill level. “I think we have so much to gain by investing in our lives in a creative and artistic way,” says Campbell. “So let’s make our own hand lettered cards, knit our own hats and bake a gorgeous birthday cake for a loved one. I know we can do it.”

Dixon is told to explore “the psychology of value” and the “taboo entanglement of fine art and luxury” in his rich body of work. This is done through the images of interiors of living rooms in London and Brooklyn homes, which leave us aching for nice stuff in our homes, as well.

It isn’t just the stuff in the paintings that makes us want them – but the color patterns and brush strokes, as well. In fact, this employment of certain colors, such as pink or red, is part of Dixon’s exploration of the commodification of art in terms of what elements can affect the cost of a painting.

Through it, Dixon speaks about how arbitrary elements have an effect on sales. For instance, predominantly red paintings sell at a higher price in the Asian market, as the color red is culturally lucky.

This Californian artist has always been fascinated by the pace with which we, as humans, have developed our modern lifestyles. His imagination stems from the social media world, the latest technological achievements, innovative filmography, and much more. He made himself known through social networks, where he brightens everyone’s day up with his colorful, vivid images with funny and provocative content that resembles a child’s world. 

To construct his images, Ali uses all popular stereotypes from the web and widely recognized symbols such as likes and emojis. At first glance, this pop universe looks funny and innocent, but in reality, it’s a weird, crazy world where the tragic and the obscene are represented with humor against a joyful background. 

Ali tells us the story of a society that is obsessed with and dependent on the internet and smartphones, while also reminding us just how much we crave the approval from others.

Known as Aquasixio, he spends his free time creating surreal digital art using only Photoshop CS2 and a Wacom Intuos 4M graphic tablet. He characterizes his work as ‘’otherworldly’’, featuring a beautiful array of bright, vibrant colors in each piece. Inspired by Tim Burton and Hayao Miyazaki and curious about life, society, and human revolution, Rolando’s works are an amusing parody of reality. They tell an enchanting story about his life and his way of understanding the world.  

Telling a sad story through joyful colors is one of Rolando’s favorite approaches, as he is always looking to find the balance between darkness and brightness. His paintings include dream-like color combinations and a lot of amazing details that are truly eye-catching. 

Since his beginnings in 2004, the artist’s style has changed and developed until he became what he is today. In the meanwhile, his art has spread across the internet like wildfire, gathering millions of views.

Parker’s transcendental subjects and excruciating detail seem chaotic at first glance – until you realize that everything has been created in perfect harmony. At the same time, the intensity of the material makes us question this harmony – does madness lie beneath it all? Is it a contemporary classical music composition, is it jazz improvisations, or is it acid rock?

His multi-layered, saturated paintings seem to be out of this world, where all biology – human, plant, animal – come together to sing the anthem of the universe.

They are an intense visual experience – the overwhelming exposure to color, texture, and content seize the viewer, plant them into that space, make them explore the imagined, fantastical world that stands before them. What are plants, what are body parts, what is architecture, if not just different attributes of the pulsating energy that we call life?
