What if Picasso and Rembrandt had met to have cocktails in 1953? You can imagine the talks they would have had: electric, inspired, and maybe even heated. The work that could have spawned from such a conversation might have looked a bit like that of Cesar Santos. His paintings seemingly bring the works of masters – from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century to Modernism – together, juxtaposing their styles one on top of the other. He call the series (and it is) Syncretism

Anamorphic Paintings by Felice Varini
No digital pixels were harmed while Felice created this huge anamorphic installations using only the paint and eye tricks. He has been creating these massive pieces since 1979; starting small with room based installations, but later growing to pieces that cover entire villages and require a hike up a mountain to properly appreciate. http://www.varini.org/
Bubble wrap art by Bradley Hart
Inspired by the bubble wrap I did my first bubble calendar ten years ago in uni, few years later I found the same idea in production spreading across the web. The bubble wrap obsession is a real stress reliever. But how about art? Bradley Hart armed with paint and injector creates these paintings. The result is a fantastic analog/digital picture fitting of our modern era.

Eugenio Recuenco versus Pablo Picasso
I always admire artists' interpretations and inspirations they do from challenging or taking as a course other famous artwork. This time I was hyped up by the way acclaimed Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco challenged another great spaniard Pablo Picasso and created a series of photographies inspired by that genius. Check it all on http://www.eugeniorecuenco.com/fichas/1260.html

Unstable Matter kinetic installation by Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen
"Unstable Matter is kinetic sculpture by Finnish artists Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen, a.k.a. Grönlund-Nisunen. The moving table contains thousands of small ball bearings that move and crash within the confines of a giant wobbly table, sort of a modern take on a rain stick." via Colossal The table is part of several kinetic and magnetized works by the duo that were recently on view at Esther Schipper in Berlin.

Pencil Carving by Cerka Hegyzo
I can't explain how much energy and patience one need to carve a flower from a carrot for a lovely salad but this pencil carving is out of my understanding and simply amazing. Budapest based let's say miniaturist sculptor Cerka Hegyzo creates masterpieces from a pencil's graphite. Endless inspiration ahead http://cerkahegyzo.deviantart.com/

Sculptural Waves by Mario Ceroli
"The idiosyncratic Mr. Ceroli is one of the least known but most influential artists of the Italian post-war scene." says NY Times His work spans over forty years and I encourage you to take a deep dive into his website to explore his wide range of installations and sculptures. Two of his most beautiful works depict crashing waves sculpted from thin layers of precisely cut wood and glass titled La Vague and Maestrale. via
Illusion works by Patrick Jacobs
A kind of pseudo-science or homespun natural phenomena characterizes Jacobs’ work whose protagonists are typically at odds with an increasingly anxious and paranoid world. Only in their futile attempt at transcending their reality and achieving the impossible do they succeed http://patrickjacobs.info/
