The Spanish painter, sculptor, ceramist, printmaker, poet, stage designer, and playwright, Pablo Picasso inspired many modern artists to bring back to life some of his remarkable paintings.

One of them was the Pakistani illustrator, Omar Aqil, who turned 7 of Picasso’s paintings into 3D sculptures. They were digitally rendered and look as if they were physically constructed thanks to Omar’s great eye for textures and shadows. Scroll down and check them out.

It’s out pleasure to introduce to you this unique and creative film-maker and photographer, Gregory Colbert from Canada.

Gregory is most known for his ongoing project called ‘Ashes and Snow’. The project consists photographic artworks, a one-hour film, and two short films ‘haikus’, and a novel in letters all presented in a purpose-built temporary structure called the Nomadic Museum.

Today we’re going to show you only the photographic artworks that we borrowed from his website. His art’s purpose is to reawaken an ancient memory of the time we as humans lived in balance with our animal kind. He began creating ‘Ashes and Snow’ back in 1922 and since then, he made expeditions to every continent to collaborate with more than one hundred spices around the world.

His work is astonishing because of his pure will to create something beautiful and light up the spark of our fires that once burned in people’s eyes. And that spark is called ‘freedom’. Check out his work and hold your breath, because you’re going to need it after.

If you liked our previous post about the creepy beautiful abounded houses around the World photographed by Rebecca Bathory, then today is your lucky day. We finally made a sequel of it with even more beautiful photographs from Rebecca’s website who has over 100.000 faithful followers on the social networks that admire her work.

She keeps the location of the places, especially houses – secret because of their security and possibility of other photographers finding the places and copying her work. The British photographer who lives in London admires the beauty of abandoned places, calling them the ‘Orphans of Time.’ Scroll down and check them out!

If you’re an artist then the surreptitiously meaning of art is definitely familiar to you! Being an artist means to express your emotions, messages and advises trough your talent, no mater if it’s writing, painting, singing or creating some other different kind of art.

The ‘problem’ with artists is that they always create their masterpieces with surreptitiously meaning and other people enjoy revealing or presuppose what they wanted to say trough their work!

Today we’ve made a little collection of artistic photos with surreptitiously meaning that we hope you will uncover or if you can’t, don’t worry! Sometimes even artists themselves can’t reveal the true meaning of the art pieces they create!

Commonly known as “Dracula’s Castle” this amazing building was the home of the title character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad III, the putative inspiration for Dracula.

The castle is now a museum which is displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. As you already know, the Bran Castle is a tourist attraction mostly because of the Dracula legend and if you are one of those tourists that likes visiting creepy, stunning castles like this one, pack your bags and have a nice trip! Until then scroll down and enter virtually inside ‘Dracula’s home’ in Transylvania.
