33-year-old Thai artist Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints 3D images with many layers of yarn and network that will capture your attention by looking like ghost images in the first impact they produce.
He discovered this technique by accident in 2001 when, while studying at Silapakorn University in Bangkok, he noticed a paint spot on his mosquito net. Nimmalaikawe soon realized that could create the impression of depth and volume by combining multiple layers of thread, as he does now with his various artistic proposals using this particular technique.
«It started with a digital painting of two lines mixed in a human form"Explains Nimmalaikaew." The digital drawing is then printed to lay the foundation for shape and texture. The next layers are painted in oil in «tulle painting style». Over time, he has learned that this type of painting requires a different way to create realistic light and shadows for the material.
The top layer gives the details to create the optical illusion. So connects each layer with a copolymer line to ensure that everything has the same shape and is able to create the feeling of depth in the image.
Some very interesting pieces of art that lead us to optical illusion, ghostly images that do not seem to be there and those human faces and figures that remain stony before the viewer's gaze.
This Thai artist takes us to that 3D that we find in movies, computers and consoles to try to imitate it in a real image such as the ones we share here and they put us before that technique that he discovered by chance or luck, who knows.
You have on the web y on Facebook to get closer to his work and new projects, that sure there will be and many, due to his young age.
