I love pencildrawing art which is full of details but this painting at a completely different level ..
you can see the realism in lighting more than perfect ,details of the face , eyes, hair and beard are just amazing...
The gray background gives another dimension of the image...
This painting managed to move a lot of emotions inside me...

I do not know this artist personally,but I really respect him and appreciate time he spent in this creation

I am giving this beautiful piece my like simply because it is an amazing and fantastic sand sculpture which the artist has shared for us to enjoy. I am very much impressed with the fact that they look larger at the bottom and pointy at the top. This proves the obeisance of his sculpture to science in relation to the law of gravity which makes it even more interesting. The creativity put into this is something that wow me. I also love the way the light and shadows reflect and refract in its caverns when the sculpture is shown some light at night as shown in this piece. The fact that it was sculpted in an upside position makes it quite outstanding and it really amazes me and shows the amount of creativity and time put into this by the artist.

This is a really beautiful work of art.
It entails the African culture.

I love this piece of art for its bold representation of the people of the Black race.
The necklace, the hair plaiting design and the body wrapper all transcribe the way of life and cladding of the African people.

The piece of art was crafted from the perception of the Maasai people of Kenya.

Art title "Why?"

Medium: charcoal and graphite pencil on paper

I like this beautiful and amazing artwork simply because it embodies the feeling and regrets of war... Why do we kill and slaughter ourselves when we can all show love and End the cycle of hate......This artwork was prepared as a measure to ensure peace reign in our various society so that we can have a better world together as one. This artwork is produced and owned by a close friend of mine called Ojumu Victor from college.

The Potato Eaters (Dutch: De Aardappeleters)

I like this because artist Vincent van Gogh is my all time favorite artist and his work is resplendent. This piece of art has a quaint history attached to it, what fascinates me is how this creation was recovered a couple of times. There's many versions of this painting, each one is a masterpiece. The wikipedia page shared as 'source' contains many other wonderful arts by this artist too. Thank you very much and good luck everyone.

I don't know the the exact meaning that artist tried to convey ...
But, this painting ignited in me only one feeling which is the concept of cooperation and assistance among people...

It is simple and does not contain many colors or effects, but simply speaks about the talent and professionalism of the painter
I really love it...

Well, if we can submit as many pieces as we'd like, I may submit a handful.

I believe art is a primary aspect of existence, and that it goes beyond simply the needs of human beings. All things are engaged in a process of dislocation and earnest struggle to recoalesce to oneness, and return to the unified whole that is God/The Universe/I Am. Therefore, the longing for connection exists within everything, and artistic expression is a potent driver of emotional connection as well as an effective pressure release valve for personal catharsis.

That said, here are two pieces of original artwork I created in homage to one of my favorite actors. The first is called The Awakening of Cage, in which Nic opens his third eye and groks all. The title of the second is contained within the image itself.

I'll post some more soon.

Pygmies.

I love this painting because of the colours & flowers. The flowers are Suriname’s national flowers, called the ‘Palulu’ also known as Heliconia bihai. For me this painting expresses Crazy Beautiful World.

This is one of the many artworks from my sister in law. She is very creative and talented.unnamed.jpg

I like this artworks because they are very beautiful and natural with lots of details with cute and pleasant colors.

This is my latest artwork and I really love this drawing because it is almost perfect when I create this art work and also it is my first-time to use a new medium which is White charcoal pencil.
