#combophoto is a project started by Stephen McMennamy. Basically, it is a very simple idea, but with some creativity and no manipulation, it delivers exceptional results. And right here is the genius of McMennamy, who finds scenes with clean backgrounds, so that he can then combine two seemingly unrelated photographs into one meaningful whole. It started with the iPhone, but now the American has already "switched" to a professional camera.

For centuries, artists have provided Western civilization with priceless works such as the Mona Lisa, Pietà, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Night Watch and The Thinker. Master after master. From Leonardo da Vinci to Rembrandt, these authors created works that inspired and uplifted morale. They have achieved this by demanding the highest standards of excellence and always striving for the highest quality. But something happened on the way to the 20th century. Deep, inspiring and beautiful art has been replaced by new, different and ugly. Some say that modern art is bad, others that it is revolutionary. Watch the video and judge for yourself.
Tom & Jerry are indeed 75 years old, but they hide their years very well. When we look at them like this on screens or in comics, we don't have the feeling that they have already entered the third period of life, because we don't find any age wrinkles or lack of energy. That's an advantage if you're a cartoon character (or Keanu Reeves). What if cartoon characters aged like humans? This is exactly what the Russian artist Andrew Tarusov asked himself, who imagined what the cartoon characters of our youth would look like if they grew old with us and did not drink from the fountain of youth, which is called the fantasy world.
Most artists go to an art supply store for painting supplies. Joanna Wirażka too, but she only buys art supplies and paints there, while she looks for her painting canvases in the forest or park. The Polish artist paints on leaves. But not on sheets of paper, but plant leaves, which now, in autumn, will be like leaves and grass. By turning them into extraordinary paintings, Wirażka makes sure that all this gift of nature does not go to waste.
"Ali and Nino" is an 8-meter-high steel sculpture by Georgian sculptor Tamara Kvesitadza, located in the coastal Georgian city of Batumi. Presenting Ali and Nina, who embrace each other for a moment every day and then part forever, it tells a tragic love story based on the novel "Ali and Nina" from 1937.
Marine litter is a global problem and seriously threatens the coastal and marine environment around the world, including here. They are not just an aesthetic problem, they are a serious threat to fish, seabirds, reptiles and mammals, as well as to boats and the coast, so calls for responsible waste management are getting louder. Art, which has always been a channel or means for reflection, criticism and awareness, has also lent its voice to strengthening the ethical attitude towards the environment. Washed Ashore, an American organization, drew attention to the issue with massive sculptures made entirely of marine debris.
Different works of art are created with different purposes. Artists are inspired by different things: some find inspiration in nature, others in imagination. But the most common inspiration is usually other people - muses. There are quite a few people in history whose style and appearance had a truly inexorable power to not only enchant the artist, but also greatly influenced him. Here are ten of the most iconic muses in the art world, who have influenced some of the greatest artists in our history.
Most of us throw tea bags in the trash after use. But not Ruby Silvious, who uses tea bags as a canvas for her illustrations, emerging from the 363 Days of Tea project. She adds a new one every day that reflects her current mood.
Gustav Klimt's paintings, which he created during his "golden age" (between 1899 and 1910), are certainly the most famous paintings in the history of art. This is the era that gave birth to paintings such as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Photographer Inge Prader brought Gustav Klimt to life by using live models to recreate his masterpieces. The results are fantastic.

Suda is an elephant painter who can draw better than you! This is evidenced by a video from Thailand, where a barely four-year-old elephant draws his self-portrait. You simply have to see it for yourself!
