| Metaphorical Realism | 5:26 pm, August 7th, 2010
Before I get onto uploading stuff, I had to share my love for the artist Vladimir Kush.
I don’t actually have many favourite fine artists or influences in general, but surrealism is definitely my favourite genre and if I had to name a certain influence for anything I draw creatively, I would have to add Vladimir Kush to the list.
His paintings are simply sublime.
I first learned about him a few years ago when I was looking up some info on Salvador Dali, and his work has stayed in my mind ever since. I remember seeing this painting:
…and thinking if only I could draw like that. In fact the ideas conveyed in almost all his works contain some sort of mix between realism and whimsical dreams, which is something I like to add in most of the stuff I draw.
I was going through my old folders and saw some of his paintings, and still can’t quite believe how amazing his work is.
They really are timeless.
