3d paintings

French artist known as Shaka creates amazing three-dimensional paintings.

He sculpts the shapes of familiar objects directly on the canvas and covers them with layers of paint to create the desired 3D effect

the extreme detail is what drew me to these because of the careful planning and time consuming work that was put into these to make them beautiful.

i also love the use of external space beyond the canvas making the image come to life

this one is my favorite of the bunch, it seems almost devious because of the design on the person clashed against the red background making a bold statement

also hes holding what appears to be a mask.... Im curious as to what the artist would say about this painting. it reminds me of someone who is removing there mask to show himself

Gehard Demetz is a mystery artist, the only thing that we know about him is that he was born in 1972, Italy, and that he currently lives in the mountains of Selva Gardena. does more need to be said when he creates works of art that are so serene and yet have a dark feeling to them. his absolutely marvelous wooden sculptures evoke a sadness to me, the children depicted in these sculptures seem to take the playful innocence from children and shed new light on a otherwise stereotypical model . They look at you and it seems that they are inviting you to torture them. Or to pay for having tortured them in the past, as if they were the habitants of a forgotten orphanage where bad things were happening.
