Entire Scenes Within a Single Paint Stroke

Instead of entire paintings, how about exploring a singular stroke of paint? Iranian artist Golsa Golchini has a fascinating take on an age-old medium.

Placing miniature figures into 3D paint strokes, we see snorkelers, divers, and skiers in a whole different way.

A great use of shadow add a surprising amount of depth to the figures.

It’s a clever and artistically effective technique. Via Colossal:

i guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. The novelty wore off after the first couple of pictures. Even if you liked this (i wasn’t terribly impressed), how would you display it prominently?
