Considering the fact that the streets of Berlin contain so much quality street art, we can qualify them as an outdoor museum that keeps surprising passersby, especially tourists who come visit the city.

The point of this kind of art is to boost awareness, originality and to provoke people to think with their own heads. However, it’s surprisingly how much creativity hides in young minds who decided to paint the city and managed to attract people’s attention and paint their minds on the street walls.

If you still haven’t visited Berlin and enjoyed its ‘outdoor museum’, you don’t know what you’re missing. Scroll down and let us show you. Who knows, maybe peeking into the street art of the Berlin walls will make you catch the first plane to visit this artistic city.

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.

He’s a 21-year-old Italian-Danish self-taught photographer who’s not getting enough attention and we are here to give it to him because we simply admire his work and creativity.

After visiting his website, we realized that Paolo Raeli is a very talented young man from Palermo, South Italy. Paolo was born and raised in Sicily. He studied visual art in Palermo, five years before moving to Copenhagen, Denmark.

Thanks to his talent and unique way of capturing things and people, he developed a huge following. The portraits are often out-of-focus images of a moment caught in the midst of movement and they became viral because of their depth and creativity.

If one image really replaces a thousand words than you’ll hear a lot of talking while observing his portraits. We’ll quit talking now and leave you in his hands. Scroll down and check out his astonishing work.

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!

Believe it or not, some animals follow the latest trends when it comes to modern life such as doing selfies and playing with the camera.

You’ve heard us right! Of course, they don’t have money to buy a camera and take a picture of themselves but their owners do and it’s really hard to tell if these photos are made with or without their help. What do you think? Scroll down and be prepared for a good laugh!

Somewhere we’ve read that if people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, they’d live a lot differently for sure.

After analyzing this sentence, we’ve realized that a big truth hides behind these wise words. Living in this stressful environment is a big challenge we face every day but staying calm and trying to handle every situation properly is even a bigger challenge.

Now, let’s imagine that after every hard day we decide to sit outside and try to connect with ourselves by simply looking at the sky and listening to what silence has to tell us. Pretty peaceful feeling takes you over even when you only think about it right?

If this is one of those hard days for you and you want to relax, then let’s get lost in the sky together! Go out side, sit on the stairs or on the ground, chin up and let your eyes dance with the stars while you find yourself by loosing yourself. Meet us halfway?

As you can see, we’re little obsessed with Titanic for the last couple of days and after showing you how the sleeping beauty at the bottom of the ocean looks like 105 years after, today we’ve decided to represent these artifacts recovered from the ship.

Clothing, watches, viol-line, keys, gloves and many more artifacts were recovered from the Titanic over the years and have been auctioned off or put on display in one of many museums around the world. Scroll down and take a look.

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!
