5 Brilliant Pieces Of Artwork Whose Inspiration Is As Splendid As They Are

“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” – Pablo Picasso

When you see a brilliant work of art it speaks to you on a multitude of levels. It calls out to your soul. It lends an inward significance to the outward beauty of the object that inspires the artist. The artwork makes you see that which might be overlooked, feel that which might be missed and understand that which goes beyond the superficial layer of the artist’s subject.

Here’s a collection of noteworthy works of art that have some splendid inspirations behind them:

1. The Memoir Bar (inspired by the feeling of nostalgia)

Designer duo, Thukral & Tagra have created this brilliant concept of a sanctuary of memories. The idea behind the artwork is to create a bridge between memory and emotion through material. You write down a memory on a piece of paper, shred it and watch it being turned into a hexagonal tile. So whenever you look at that specific tile, it will incite the emotion behind the memory preserved in the tile. It’s like a material board of nostalgia.

2. Detail Map of Language (inspired by stories about the partition)

Krupa Makhija, the artist behind this symbolic masterpiece has found inspiration for her work from her personal experiences. Her family migrated from Pakistan during the partition in 1947. A lot of her work is a symbolic representation of the various pre-partition era stories that she heard from her grandparents. Through her work, she also tries to express her experience as a migrant from Pakistan and comments upon the dilemma of people from that era who are viewed as ‘outsiders.’

3. Else, All Will Be Still (inspired by movement of the sea)

This piece, created by lensman Ravi Agarwal, serves to capture movement over time. The movement of the sea, and the engaging sound of the ocean waves inspired the artist to produce this masterpiece. He wished to draw attention to the local lives of fishermen in Tamil Nadu, who have been the subjects of his photographic series. When asked to define his latest series, Ravi says that it an exploration of the fisherman’s life in terms of culture, economics and politics.

4. Untitled series 2014-2015 (inspired by surrealism) 

The untitled series, produced by Dutch artist Juul Kraijer, seeks to inspire a sense of surrealism by showcasing an emotionless face superimposed with a fear-inciting reptile which seem to contradict each other. The sight of a reptile rarely leaves a person’s expression void of emotion.

There is never a calm in mind when a venomous snake slithers in front of you. The artist has tried to portray this contradiction through her latest piece.

5. Fibre Glass Mural (inspired by the crystalline design of the Skoda Rapid)

Rajesh P Sawant, a fibre glass artist, was drawn to the crystalline design embodied by the new Skoda Rapid for his latest masterpiece. He imagined the vehicle to be born out of crystalline design and decided to showcase this interpretation by creating the Rapid emerging out from a large piece of fibre crystal.

 

Watch how the cutting edge style and the opulence of new SKODA Rapid inspired a brilliant work of art indeed!

 

We aren’t surprised about the New SKODA Rapid inspiring Rajesh to make this great work of art. If perfection was a car, this is how it would look!

These masterpieces have truly left me in a state of awe.

I’ll simply leave you with a beautiful quote from Marc Chagall:

 “Great art picks up where nature ends.”
