Artworks under the lens

Miss Tic’s Femme de l’être isn’t street art isn’t anything but a declaration of intent shrouded in poetry and simplicity. This artwork plays with our perception of womanhood with a Parisian touch, mixing words and visuals amidst all of the images. Miss Tic’s mark on the walls of Paris also found its way to the hearts of those who saw…

When an ancient Greek god steps off their marble pedestal in the vivid, chaotic world of street art, what happens? PichiAvo gives you Poseidon and Nike. It’s not just something you see it’s something you feel. An exciting example of art that joins the past with the present, reporting in a mixture of classical mythology with the best of the…

Think of a painting so rich you finally feel alive. It’s Antonio Saura’s Portrait imaginaire de Goya. It’s not even your typical portrait. Saura does not give us a tidy, realistic view of Francisco Goya. But he gets into Goya’s spirit—the messy, brash, and high revolution. One of Spain’s most celebrated modernist artists, Antonio Saura, used this piece to pay…

There is a beating heart in Paris part of which is the art on their walls. Miss Tic, one of the city’s most famous street artists, took her bold stencils and poetic words to combine in her work among the city’s cities. One of her standout creations is L’art résiste au temps, which means “Art resists time.” It’s not just…

Antonio Saura’s Gritos? Speak softly? It screams. Raw emotions tattooed in this artwork can make you question why you were not affected instantly. It is wild, bold, and unforgettable. You don’t just feel Gritos, you see it. It is a brilliant work by the artist Antonio Saura, a master of expression in his own special, and abstract way. Gritos is…

This work, made in 1959, is full of misshapen faces, sweeping applications, and shades of black, white, and gray. But it’s messy and beautiful: a great blend of chaos…

What if a painting could be a conversation with yourself in the night? Bram van Velde’s Nocturne does that. This artwork is not about stars or moons, but feelings, shadows, and the deprived emotions of darkness. Bram’s abstract expressionist style captures the night alive, both profoundly and intimately. However, let’s first look more closely at the mastermind behind Nocturne.  What…

Bram van Velde’s La Rencontre is no mere painting, but an experience. The abstract feeling of this artwork gives you a question and a way to think about it. The French title translates as “The Meeting” but who or what do we suppose is meeting? That’s up to you to decide. Van Velde’s style was very personal, emotional, mysterious, and…

Art isn’t what you see, it’s what you feel. One painting that does exactly that is Bram van Velde’s Composition. It grapples with shapes, colors, and emotions, pausing you briefly and leaving you questioning. It’s not about telling a story, it’s about making you think or feel. Bram van Velde wasn’t one of the kind of artists that followed the…

Imagine a lazy summer afternoon in France. Soft, blue sky all around. There is one cloud that drifts quietly. There’s no noise, no rush; just peace. This is what artist Pierre Boncompain brings in his artwork Nuage d’été (Summer Cloud). This is a painting that isn’t about a scene; it’s about a mood. It asks us to breathe, slow down,…
