Oil paint is very malleable, it can meet the creative needs of almost any artist, flat, thick, if you want, you can even use oil paint on canvas to pile a truly three-dimensional sculpture.
Many artists have used the properties of oil paints to tap into their potential to create their own expressions, including Daniel Bilms, a contemporary painter from Los Angeles.
Daniel Bilms's works are characterized by realism and symbolism, and the expression of the paintings is between rough and delicate, and some people describe his works as a fusion of the solemnity of the speech and the joy of the circus, xiao Dai felt that this comment was very appropriate, so that people could read his work at once.
Daniel Bilms was born into an artistic family and began to study painting under the guidance of his father from an early age, and this subtle influence also paved the way for him to grow into an artist.
Many people are very fond of Daniel Bilms's work, ordinary people can enjoy beautiful pictures, professionals can feel the artistic expression, purely from the painting point of view, we can hardly imagine that this is an oil painting, more like pastel painting or other medium than oil painting.
In his works, the main role of the color seems to be only brown, titanium white, blue and a little pink, the finished work is also like a layer of gauze, the reason for this effect, thanks to the special way of painting, at the beginning of the creation, Daniel Bilms will choose the most comfortable angle to paint, in which a large amount of turpentine is added to mix, wait until the pigments are dry and then scrape them off, that is, he destroys the finished work and then completes a work.
This way of creating requires great care to create a "hand-painted" feeling, while the skin, clothes and hair need to be more detailed, and the final effect of the painting will give people a pastel feeling.
The special way of painting, combined with the effect that Daniel Bilms wanted to express in his work, produced an artistic effect that far exceeded the effect of 1 plus 1 equals 2.
Every brushstroke, every detail, and every figure in the painting is cleverly arranged together, and this work between multiple styles, and between the finished and the unfinished, leaves the viewer with a lot of room for imagination.
Xiao Dai likes this group of very expressive oil paintings very much, I hope you can also like it, next, let's enjoy it together.
