One rose is becoming another without stopping,
You are the cloud, the sea, the forgetting,
You are also every self you have ever lost.
- Borges
Since Xiaoyin last launched the "140 High-end Art Couple Avatars", the background has continuously received messages from inkers: "Look at single children, when will there be a single avatar?" "This little seal that does not spoil the powder is immediately arranged for everyone."
(Xiaoyin has adjusted the size for everyone, please feel free to eat ~)
NO.1
Retro bright oil painting
Day Dreaming音乐：Jack & Jack - A Good Friend Is Nice
Tired of the cookie-cutter and boring avatars on the Internet, then the following group of oil paintings will definitely make your eyes light up.
This group of oil paintings is born from the traditional academic school, the rich layers and solid shaping make the picture have amazing vitality, and the bright girl in the picture is like a blue wave of spring water that stirs your and my heartstrings.
"Instead of struggling with someone you like or dislike, take a happy walk under these clouds."
"You are the music, the heavenly domes, the palaces, the rivers, the angels, the deep roses that God shows before my blind eyes."
"There is no longer a difference between morning and evening, and I have become a slow prisoner who seems to wake up like asleep." The delicate brushstrokes fully demonstrate the texture of the oil painting, and the characters in the picture come to life.
NO.2
Niche cute and grotesque
Space Oddity音乐：David Bowie - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Korean illustrator Hyunjung Kim is good at using colored lead in his hand and combining imagination to paint warm scenes in our daily lives.
Hyejung Kim paints a heart-warming picture with rich colors, taking us to feel the simple happiness of life together. Because life always has such troubles, we must be more lovely and loving.
"It is fortunate to be understood, but it is not necessarily unfortunate not to be understood. A person who places his value entirely on the understanding of others is often worthless. ”
The following set, titled Zła uczennica (meaning bad girl in Polish), was co-created by talented polish photographer Magdalena Franczu and collage artist Ashkan Honarvar.
The wonderful combination of magnificent and strange plants and sad maidens ignites the fire of people's desire and the light of life. The dark, damp soil is pregnant with vibrant green leaves, and it also buries the girl's heaviest heart.
I acquiesced in your growth, acquiesced in your strangeness, your chicness, your grotesqueness, but people gathered a hundred beams of eyes and set you on fire and burned.
I can only endure the burning pain of saying goodbye to you, borrowing a thousand stars from the foot of the moon, and burying you, my still young wings.
I was no longer able to fly.
NO.3
American collage
88 Music: Inner Wave - Sun Transmission
Collage art has been called "one of the most spiritual and dynamic art forms of the 20th century". The collage techniques are very diverse, and the colors, textures and materials of the creations are very rich.
Collage art is widely used in graphic design with unique expression techniques such as transcendental reorganization, fracture and integration, which has a profound impact on today's visual art creation forms and concepts.
The greatest collages are naturally made with the simplest collage techniques, and artist Tess creates highly complete works using only glue sticks and scissors, with gray portraits and colorful backgrounds complementing each other.
NO.4
Oil painting characters enter the reality chapter
Melting Music: Cuco - Melting
What happens when classical painting figures come to life? Ukrainian artist Alexey Kondakov tells us the answer with this brain-opening illustration.
In the world of art, you can meet medieval girls in cafes, high-speed rail speeding by with gusts of breeze stirring girls' hair, subways heard angels praying for young children' songs, art world, infinite possibilities.
The characters outlined by the delicate lines are vivid and in harmony with the surrounding environment, making the whole picture full of tension.
The harmonious tones combined with the compositional techniques of the classical school make the characters in the oil painting not obtrusive, but complement the surrounding environment.
NO.5
Film and television characters enter the reality chapter
Strange Effect音乐：unloved; Raven Violet - Strange Effect
What the? Xiaoyin heard that some people want to use their favorite film and television characters as avatars but are afraid to bump their headshots, and digital artist Geto will fulfill your wishes.
The deified film and television characters hold props and pose in the most classic poses, looking at all beings, and showing pity, arrogance and sadness.
"Leaving me alone in the house with my own great peace, this is a fake universe." The characters in the picture exude divinity under the shroud of light, and we who do not need God can cross ourselves.
Barriers will inevitably arise in different fields of art, but artists who are good at creating are better at breaking down barriers, building bridges, and resonating between different works.
Digital media illustrator Gedo broke down the barriers between famous paintings and film and television works, which are new and interesting, and full of creativity for making avatars.
NO.6
Song album cover
Up All Night音乐：Alex Siegel - Up All Night
Most of the avatars below come from songs and album covers. The irrepressible sadness in the picture infects you and me, and it is recommended to cooperate with music for better results.
"You always walk your way and allow others to go their way at the same time."
"The first object of love in life should be yourself, writing poetry to yourself, talking to yourself, quieting down in a space, listening to your own heartbeat and breathing, I believe that when this life goes out, it will not panic." 」
An album cover with a sense of story can often arouse our desire to click on the song to the greatest extent, feel the emotion contained in the song, and resonate.
NO.7
Simple line article
Coffee Breath音乐：Sofia Mills; Sofia Moulton - Coffee Breath
Some people like complicated and cumbersome bells and whistles, and some people like to be simple and straightforward and go back to basics.
Post-90s artist Loribelle Spirovski uses paint and other materials to outline simple lines, so that portraits and fanatical and pulsating lines are fused together, with vivid colors and contradictory rhythms, full of tension.
Artist Loribelle Spirovski says: "My practice is to try to externalize the inner conflict, to create a juxtaposition of movement and stillness, to form an unsettling effect, to evoke a surreal and dreamlike feeling".
"It seems to me that indulging in any single thing is enough proof of our own fragility and the tedium of life, no matter how correct the thing itself is."
NO.8
Scenery
Fragile Music: LOFT BEACH - Anywhere
Since the characters have said so much, the scenery naturally cannot be left behind.
Mysterious clouds pour in from the other world, mountains and stars gaze quietly, and the fantastic colors add to the storytelling of the picture, and the artist Aaron is inspired by his love of scenery and space to create a futuristic retro illustration.
"He floats into the clouds of my life, no longer pouring rain or setting off storms, but only adding color to my twilight sky."
Which one do you like the most, put on your avatar and talk about it in the comment area
