 Contemporary art defies traditional movements, and is bound by no singular style or school. Artists today blend diverse influences, techniques, and cultures, creating a vibrant, eclectic global art ecosystem. The internet has amplified this new art world reality, enabling a global exchange of ideas and recognition of artists from every culture, country, and race. Unlike the past’s Western-dominated narratives, today’s art world is more inclusive, celebrating a multitude of perspectives. It used to be that artists like myself could only learn about art through history books, magazines, and film documentaries. But it’s super exciting to see so much extraordinary art now. Here are some painting that recently showed up on my Instagram that I really liked.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of showcasing my work in a solo exhibition at Axis Gallery in Seattle. The show featured 50 of my oil paintings, each reflecting my deep affection for flowers and vibrant color palettes. Alongside these, I presented pieces from my Post Personalism series—a body of work that delves into themes beyond self-centricity, exploring concepts of cosmic consciousness and other mystical ideas that captivate my imagination. Have a wonderful day filled with color, textures, and mysteries.
 I am typically not a fan of digital art, but I think Tuukzs' recent works are beautiful, and I resonate with his messages of universal love and oneness in some of his Instagram comments. Arthur Machado, known as Tù.úk’z, is a Brazilian digital artist who has been working within the digital arts landscape since 2012. Tù.úk’z's body of work spans a broad spectrum of digital forms, including glitch art, AI-generated pieces, collage, painting, image, video, and sound. His work explores themes of abstraction and psychedelia, reflecting his journey as a digital nomad.
 Quirky and beautiful realistic fine art painting brings a delightful twist to traditional realism. These works capture everyday scenes and objects with meticulous detail, yet infuse them with unexpected elements that surprise and charm the viewer. Whether it’s a whimsical play on scale, an imaginative use of color, or the inclusion of fantastical details within a realistic setting, these paintings balance authenticity with creativity. The result is a captivating blend of the familiar and the extraordinary, where the ordinary becomes enchanting. This fusion of quirky and beautiful invites viewers to see the world with fresh eyes and a sense of wonder. |
