Nowadays, artists are becoming more and more "rebellious", how boring is it to draw on paper? According to Xiao Dai's sharing in recent years, everyone has seen that painting on tea bags, sand, leaves, and all kinds of things can become materials and tools for artists to paint. Many contemporary artists, in particular, are dissatisfied with traditional canvases and favor fresher and more unexpected ways of creating.
This is not bad, the artists "rolled up", benefiting our vast audience. More and more works of art full of novel creations appear in front of us, enriching our vision and expanding our horizons. Today, Xiao Dai would like to introduce you to a talented artist who has turned the shell we are familiar with into an ornament more precious than jewelry, which looks like an ancient treasure found in a shipwreck.
This artist, Mary Kenyon from California, was influenced by the artist's father from a young age, so that she loved all things full of artistic feelings at a young age, and after the death of her father, she left Mary Kenyon a lot of tools and materials for painting, so Mary Kenyon also embarked on this artistic path.
Inherited from her father, in addition to the tools of painting, there was also a brain full of inspiration and imagination, Mary Kenyon experimented with various styles of artistic creation, painting on shells, which she inadvertently flashed inspiration, and after the beginning, she could not stop.
Each humble shell became magnificent in the hands of Mary Kenyon, who, in addition to paintings of various subjects on the shells, inlaid the outer rings of each shell with three-dimensional decorations such as gilded paint and colorful Swarovski rhinestones. Such a complex shell ornament probably took Mary Kenyon a week or so to complete.
After the artist's hand-painting and decoration, the original humble shell value soared, even more expensive than ordinary jewelry. Despite the preciousness, it still can't resist her exquisiteness, and many people can't help but want to have the artist's shell handicrafts when they see it.
Next, let's enjoy the exquisite and exquisite shell handicrafts created by this artist who paints on shells.
