I’m guilty of often taking my art way too seriously and suffering from perfection paralysis as a result of this (which is probably the cause of my most recent artist block but that’s a topic for another post). For this reason, whimsical artwork gives me a very special kind of joy, and that is why today I want to share with you the work of Vienna-based German artist Dorothee Golz who inserts classical art faces into pictures of modern bodies.
You can see more of her work on her website, and I hope this post brought a smile to your face like her art did to mine when I discovered it :)
I love this! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to be following this artist.
These are fantastic! The composition is seamless! Sometimes we don’t take enough time to appreciate the techniques of these artists! Thank you for sharing!
I love the top one, the one with the girl with the pearl earring. It has always been one of my favorite paintings. The movie about the artist was pretty good, as well.
I love these! I’ve never seen them before and I’m glad I did — I love seeing different, modern takes on old, classics pieces. And I totally get the paralysis of perfectionism thing — I suffer from that when I write any time of fiction (novels or screenplays). It’s so hard to JUST WRITE (or JUST PAINT or JUST whatever :)) and then remember that I can always rewrite. We can always amend or change or start over. Hang in there! Great blog, too. I found you from the BTR FB group.
I love these, such great inspiratioon! That second one is so my style, I love the wild boho vibes
