Dreamlike Impasto Paintings Evoke Artistâs Childhood Memories of Rural Life
by Emma Taggart - My Modern Met, August 14, 2024
Artist Anastasia Trusova uses bright acrylics to create colorful, nature-inspired impasto paintings that look like something from a dream. From rolling hills and meadows to winding rivers and serene lakes, each psychedelic scene offers a modern twist on classic impressionist paintings, reminiscent of the works of Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh.
Trusova grew up in a small town in Russia, where she remembers the simplicity of rural life. âWe didnât have much, like everyone else back then,â she recalls, âbut we were surrounded by abundant natureâforests, lakes, and swamps.â
Her passion for art began in childhood, leading her to study design at university. After graduating, Trusova spent eight years in China working as a shoe designer. Eventually, she moved to Belgium to join her husband. Now a mother of three, Trusova is fully dedicated to her painting practice, having developed a unique style she calls âtextured graphic impressionism.â
By applying layers of thickly applied acrylic paint to her canvas, Trusova is able to capture natureâs abundant textures. She says, âI want to show the variability of nature, the beauty of the moment, as I see it.â Flowers and leaves are brought to life with thick daubs of pigment, while swirling clouds are formed by skillfully swiping paint across the canvas with a textured scraping tool.
Trusova seeks to capture and preserve her childhood memories of rural life in her art, hoping that future generations will also come to appreciate the beauty of nature through her work.
âWatching young people leave for big cities in search of opportunities, leaving behind quiet streets and abandoned homes, is a sad reality of our time,â she writes on Instagram. âWhen I return to these familiar places, now as a parent with my children, I feel a strange mix of joy and sadness. Joy from the memories of my childhood spent here, and sadness from the realization that my children will likely never experience this.â
The artist continues, âThis painting is an attempt to preserve those memories and pass them on to the next generation. May they remember their roots, even if their lives are far from these places.â

Halloween Countdown Day 6
A Haunting History of Halloween
Halloween may be a tradition you grew up with, or it may be another culture's intriguing custom. The spooky decorations, trick or treating, dressing up, and enjoying certain pieces of media in late October may be comforting and nostalgic or a bit bewildering depending on your perspective! If you've ever wondered "why" people do certain activities on Halloween or whether Halloween is really about celebrating evil and darkness, I highly recommend this entertaining and informative article on the history of Halloween.

Miniaturist Perfectly Recreates Historical Interiors at a Staggering 1:12 Scale:
On his popular Instagram account, artist Chris Toledo shares ornate interiors and bathroom remodels. There is one distinct difference, however, between his handiwork and the type of thing youâd find on Pinterest. All of Toledoâs interiors are miniaturized at a 1:12 scale. If it werenât for his hand cramming into the small spacesâor a full-sized toothbrush towering in the bathroom or a real head of garlic taking up half the kitchenâyouâd never realize how tiny these places are; his details are just that impeccable.
âSince I was a kid, I loved to create,â he tells My Modern Met, âfrom building little houses out of sticks and pebbles in my backyard to painting portraits of my friends and family.â His father was also an influence as a contractor and a woodworker who passed down a love of furniture-making and architecture..."

Artist Uses Thousands of Dots To Create Intricate and Textural Paintings of Ornamental Rugs - By Eva Baron | My Modern Met - Art - Painting | 22nd/01/2025
To achieve hyperrealism in a painting, an artist must display confidence in texture. Without it, the canvas could appear flat, dull, even uninviting. Artist Antonio SantĂn has mastered this technique, clearly showing he can paint surfaces so rich itâs as though viewers can reach out & touch them.

Finnish Artist Manipulates Trees To Create Incredible Land Art
by Jessica Stewart - My Modern Met, January 22, 2025
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9248cab7bba638bdea0b1f20d80926f7/6d9c393d89827136-b6/s540x810/d9ca9531d9ce136297ef90b35a419c41df7bb99a.webp)
Inspired by the natural forms surrounding him, Finnish artist Antti Laitinen works with his environment to create visually stunning works of art. The multidisciplinary artist has been creating his Broken Landscape series since 2017, taking advantage of his home in the countryside to find the perfect trees for his installations.
While the final product, most often seen as a still photograph or video, may look like the work of clever photo editing, it most certainly is real. Laitinen spends hours crafting his work, using steel, wire, and other materials to carve out the desired shapes within the tree's tangle of branches. Combining surrealism and whimsy, these pieces evolve over time as seasons and weather change.
Even prior to Broken Landscape, nature has played a fundamental role in Laitinen's art. In a 2014 interview with the Fotografisk Center, he discusses his choice to incorporate it into his artistic practice: âIt is kind of a big playground, and you can do bigger works there. There was a lot of space, and there were a lot of material I could use. A lot of my works are happening in nature; I donât think of myself as a nature artist; the works are telling about other ideas. They are not necessarily telling about the nature.â

Very messy scribble of a comic because they were on my mind (I doubt Iâll ever clean it up so Iâm just posting it now so it doesnât rot in my procreate files LOL)
#genzen#zengen#demon slayer#genya shinazugawa#zenitsu agatsuma#kimetsu no yaiba#genya x zenitsu#tanjirou kamado#tanjiro kamado#Iâve been feeling a very special type of sad lately so I wanted to kinda project that a little bit on my silly guys#I donât often think about them in universe itâs always usually just modern au#I like to think that they were on good terms during hashira training#genya apologized for hitting him after they met up again from sanemis training#they spoke a little bit to each other at that point but after that it was mostly just#existing together during group hang outs#the whole group was preexisting already#genya just kinda would stand back and silently watch them have fun and banter#he never really felt like he belonged together with all of them#zenitsu also struggles with feeling like he doesnât deserve to be apart of the group as well and will sometimes sit back with genya#they laugh together at inosuke and sit in a silence of mutual understanding#he doesnât really show it but zenitsu is genuinely very torn up about hearing genya death#he missed his chance to be friends with the one guy he had the most in common with#he never got to see the soft side tanjirou would tell him about#if only they couldâve met before everything turned bad#if only they couldâve met in a world without demons#maybe they wouldnât have turned out so bad if they had each other#maybe he would still be here if he had someone#zenitsu will forever beat himself up that someone as bad as him died when he himself lived#he didnât deserve his second chance at life just as much as genya didnât
