the way ivan aivazovskylooks at the sea…i think…i think that’s what love looks like.
love is surrounding yourself with people who see you this clearly
Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:
It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.
He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.
the irony of insisting something is AI, while being too lazy to click a link and look through the artist’s portfolio and see her work being featured in galleries/shows at various angles is mind rending
Yeah I’ve noticed a lot of random baseless “this is ai” comments that only happen to appear under a woman’s artwork.
Two clicks lead to her Instagram where she has dozens of multimedia pieces using yarn
This one was a video that showed the canvases separately and then they’re moved together on that bar that they’re hanging from
She also has multiple other multimedia pieces using yarn in different styles and using things like phone cords and computer chips.
I highly recommend people check out her Instagram because she’s amazing and only has 16k followers.
