Art of Marco Battaglini

Marco Battaglini pastiches together bits of Renaissance art with graffiti and other elements of modern pop — not unlike the divine versus the vulgar — in his digital paintings. By mashing together opposing visual traditions, the Italian artist (living in Costa Rica) challenges the viewer to contemplate a variety of topics: cultural democratization, the evolution of knowledge and information, and what he calls our 'patchwork culture.'

Coffee Paintings by Ghidaq al-Nizar

Al-Nizar calls his art #zerowastecoffee because he usually paints it with what’s left of his morning coffee, making sure that none of it, not even the coffee grinds, goes to waste. He also creates latte foam art, which you can check out on his Instagram and Facebook.

Macro art by Rómulo Celdrán

Artist Rómulo Celdrán turns everyday objects into oversized sculptures for his series 'Macro'. That is not a new concept in terms of postmodernism sculpture but he does it with a great passion to details and as he said "I believe there is something magic in the world of scales. There is a kind of emotional memory that invites us to feel the relationship with the Macro objects as if it were a game"

Hand-carved Portraits by Yoo Hyun

Using an X-acto knife and tweezers, Korean artist Yoo Hyun (Instagram) hand carves intricate cut-paper portraits that feature the likes of movie stars, world leaders, and musicians. Up close, Hyun’s pieces look like abstract designs, but from afar they read as photo-realistic depictions of his subjects. He achieves this by incorporating a zig-zag pattern into his compositions, where each line is specially cut to build a three dimensional-looking form.

Fluid Pigments by Thomas Robson

Thomas Robson’s series, Fluid Pigments, adds a touch of contemporary flair to very classic figures. The juxtaposition of elements, especially classics alongside modern, normally have a high impact as people get caught off-guard by ideas and concepts yet unknown to them. His work directly addresses ideas of appropriation, inspiration, and originality, as well as reflecting our current media saturated culture.

Rocket Wars

A war to keep the peace. In the small village of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, there is unrest. For over a century, parishioners of two Greek Orthodox churches have engaged in a battle on Holy Saturday, firing more than 100,000 homemade rockets at each other’s churches once the sun goes down. The origin of this tradition is unclear. One theory holds that churches on the island faked a civil war during the Turkish occupation so they could celebrate Easter without being plagued by war. Accordingly the ruse worked, as the Turks kept a safe distance, allowing the villagers to attend Easter Mass.Directed by WeAreVariable.com

Theaters From The Stage by Klaus Frahm

Photographer Klaus Frahm takes photos of theater auditoriums from the stage, showing us 'a work-space hidden behind the red curtain' as he describes it. His ongoing series 'The Fourth Wall' takes us behind-the-scenes of Europe's most famous theaters. via

It is the specific perspective of the camera, which dissolves the order of what is in front or behind, questioning the hierachy of stage and audience as well as the image
