Ilya Zomb, 1960 | Magical realism painter

New York based Russian-born painter Ilya Zomb studied at the Odessa State Art College and the Odessa Art School between 1971 and 1979, majoring in fine arts.

In his paintings, images of ballerinas, elephants, and gigantic fruits appear as if out of a dream, but the artist says it's the everyday life in New York,where he lives, that inspires his flights of fancy.

Occupying the shadowy space "between the possible and impossible, the real and unreal", Ilya Zomb’s brilliantly conceived, chimerical paintings lie at the elusive intersection of reality and pure fantasy.

Chris Krupinski, 1952 | Watercolor painter

Chris's watercolors are created with special consideration to detail.

By focusing much of her attention to the smallest detail, the viewer is drawn into the intricacies of her work.

Dynamic light and shadow treatments are prominent statements in her paintings.

The play of lights and darks develop effective abstract design.

Hennie Niemann jnr, 1972

Hennie Niemann jnr’s art career began under the mentorship of his father, artist Hennie Niemann Snr.

The encouragement from Gregoire Boonzaaier and art dealer, Johans Borman, help built the confidence of a young artist early in life.

The inspiration for his unique style stemmed from two years of conscription after school, where he was placed in the Kruger National Park.

Surrounded by bush and wildlife, his love for the great African outdoors was born.

AI Experiment: Full Body paintings of "Mona Lisa" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring"

Using Adobe Firefly, the American Kody Young, asked AI to expand some of the world’s most famous paintings, including Van Gogh’s "Starry Night", Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" and Johannes Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

One could say that Young was simply playing with a new toy.

He never asserted that he, himself, is an artist, or that these images represent some kind of improved version of the originals.
