- [Narrator] When it
comes to great artwork, with enough skill, the only limit is an artist's imagination. And thanks to the wonders
of modern technology, artists' imaginations
have been able to expand into some truly mind-bending places. (bright instrumental music) If that's left you feeling
like you've stepped into another world, get ready for more! Coming up are some mind-blowing artworks that take creativity to another dimension! (bright electronic music) As a tool for every budding artist, pencils are a great
instrument for creativity. Although, the pencils themselves aren't always the most
exciting thing to look at, until now! Showcasing the creative glue that holds a drawing implement together, this chain-linked pencil lead was created by Deviant
Art user cerkahegyzo. Known only by his online nickname, this Hungarian artist manages to produce incredibly detailed sculptures
by carving pencil lead. Using simple tools including
razor blades and needles, this pencil pro
painstakingly whittles away just enough without breaking the lead, I, meanwhile, can't even sharpen a pencil without the lead snapping! From pencils to paper now. When a truly unique idea
in the mind of a creative comes to fruition, it can be
quite literally mind-bending. Check it out! (soft instrumental music) Switching from Superman to Mr. Fantastic, this malleable statue was created by Cuban artist Felix Semper, who is known for his amazingly unique stretchable sculptures. Despite looking like a concrete bust, Felix's super sculpture
is entirely comprised of thousands of layers of paper, like a superhero-shaped accordion! To create artwork with this
kind of fluid movement, Felix glues layers of paper, sliced wood, books and other recycled materials as high as he plans one
of his sculptures to be. Then, Felix can start
the sculpting process, using tools that he's specially developed for his unique style of art. Carving into the stack, he continues to remove chunks of paper until he achieves the desired shape before sanding it down and painting. Felix has created hundreds of sculptures with subjects ranging from
Air Force One trainers to cupcakes! The sculptures truly take
on a life of their own, and hopefully watching Felix
play around with his art will stretch your own
imagination to new lengths! Though it's safe to say that
Felix's stretchable creations are larger-than-life, sometimes the smallest
things are sweetest! (light instrumental music) This unique creation is the
work of miniature artist Remington Robinson, or Rem to his friends, who uses breath mint tins to produce wonderfully
detailed landscapes. Having grown up in Boulder, Colorado, Rem was constantly surrounded
by natural wonders to paint. Not so keen on the idea of
lugging around an easel, Rem came up with a nifty little way to combine his passion for painting, as well as long walks in the
countryside, by making it mini! The mint tin itself
serves as a sort of easel for a small wooden panel canvas that's Velcro-ed into the lid of the tin. Rem's little works of art
have become so popular that he now sells them online and sometimes produces
commissioned work too. Each one of Rem's paintings comes complete with the Altoids mint
tin it was painted in, including the original palette of paint left in the bottom tray. With his super-compact masterpieces, Rem is truly the king
of the small and mighty! While Rem draws on real life
landscapes for his miniatures, there's another artist out
there who takes existing art and mixes it into his own creations! (light instrumental music) The water wizard behind
this trick is Garip Ay, a Turkish artist who can
literally paint on water! Garip was able to perfectly
recreate the swirling, whirling world of Van
Gogh's "The Starry Night", produced by the artist in 1889, using a traditional
technique known as Ebru. Ebru, also known as paper marbling, is an artistic technique that dates back to the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 16th century and was commonly used
to decorate book spines. In Ebru, artists like Garip begin by adding a thickening agent to water, which helps increase the water's viscosity and separates it from
the paint on the surface. Strangely, to enhance the
buoyancy of the paint, each pigment is mixed with
a few drops of ox bile, which acts as a wetting agent and promotes the flowing motion required. Enacting the Ebru technique, Garip painted "The Starry
Night" directly onto water before transforming it into the backdrop for a recreation of Van
Gogh's 1889 self-portrait! (light instrumental music) His work is truly mesmerizing to watch as he expertly predicts exactly
where to place each pigment with brushes and droppers
before guiding them into shape. Garip finishes the piece
by skillfully laying paper over the floating paint
which quickly adheres, capturing the amazing art before someone can accidentally
spill it on the floor! Back in the Ottoman Empire, Ebru artists were considered
masters of the arts, and Garip's work certainly
earns him a place among them, even by the standards of our modern world! Let's dive from the water's surface to its infinite depths now. Who said landscape painting
needs to be above the waves? (light instrumental music) This is Russian artist Olga Belka, who spends her time immersed
in her two biggest passions: painting and scuba-diving! While not everyone gets to experience the underwater landscapes
of our oceans first-hand, Olga hopes to capture that feeling in both her artwork and
the videos of her painting. While Olga wants to
keep the precise methods of her underwater artistry
hidden in the depths for now, she says she's developed waterproof paints that are completely harmless
to her oceanic surroundings. Each of her aquatic artworks can take up to six two-hour
diving sessions to complete, each with several trips
back to the surface for replacement oxygen tanks, and the result is truly breath-taking! If you can't find time to ride the waves, then Roni Langley's got you covered with this ocean sprayed surfboard! (light instrumental music) Surfing enthusiast Roni
works with epoxy resin, a glossy, malleable crafting liquid that looks like glass when hardened. After applying the colored resin, Roni drizzles a simple white acrylic paint to make strokes of waves. While all of that paint pouring is satisfyingly mesmerizing in itself, it's the heat gun that
truly gets the surf up! The steady stream of hot air organically spreads the
white lines across the board, creating natural-looking bubbly waves! Wicked 'nar, dude! The sign of a great artist is the ability to really
transport observers to a whole other world. But this next creative gets a head-start, as her work's already in another world, the world of virtual reality! (light instrumental music) This immersive art is the work of Russian French artist Anna Zhilyaeva who uses virtual-reality and
augmented-reality technology to push the medium of 2D painting past its canvas-constrained limits! Inspired by her background
in classical fine art, Anna's gone digital by using
Google's Tilt Brush app which is specifically designed for painting in virtual 3D spaces. While Anna's art only exists in VR, she makes sure that everyone
can see her work in progress by combining a recording of her art in VR with a video-recording of her painting it. These 3D works look more like
oil sculptures than paintings and Anna has even adopted
her own term, "volumism", to describe her virtual art. These painted sculptures allow Anna to make her work truly otherworldly, inviting viewers to step right into what could certainly be
the future of visual art! While Anna's art only really exists in the virtual dimension, this
next artist has figured out a way to blend both the real world and the world of digital effects! (light instrumental music) The man behind this negative
filter curtain is Chris Thomas, aka Chris on this Charizard,
a surrealist painter who takes his works on a
journey of color inversion! Based in Seattle, Washington, Chris was inspired to transport his art into an unearthly dimension after spending some time
looking at his regular paintings through an inverse color filter. After seeing how the colors changed so drastically through the filter, Chris decided to try
and paint using colors that would look normal
in an inverse filter! To achieve this effect, Chris would need to calculate
the inverse of each color either through trial-and-error
experimentation with a camera using the filter,
or using a specific formula calculating the exact opposite
color value of his paints. By utilizing inverted
colors when painting, Chris can quite literally flick a switch to turn his negative color art into the hues that nature intended. While most artists cringe at the thought of a negative reaction to their work, Chris can't lose; he's
already Mr. Negative! Speaking of reactions, I'm
not sure if I'm more impressed or creeped out by this next multi-dimensional display of creativity! (light instrumental music) This freaky face belongs to
viral makeup star Mimi Choi, aka Mimles, who went wild creating this all-out makeup marvel! While hard work is a given when it comes to achieving
creative success, Mimi definitely paid the price
for this makeup masterpiece. The experience of painting numerous hyper-realistic facial
features all over her face caused some pretty extreme
dizziness and nausea, so Mimi had to take multiple power naps with her half-finished
illusion still on her face! For this look, Mimi opted
for fine-detailed art brushes over traditional makeup brushes and after eight hours
of grueling application, it was impossible to
tell which eyes and nose were the real ones! Not only does Mimi talk the talk with her impressively realistic,
multi-mouth facial makeup, but she also walks the walk with art creations over
other parts of her body. This leggy Lego build also
helped to lay the foundations for Mimi's reputation as a makeup magician and showcases her ability to make just about
anything into an illusion. I wonder if it still hurts to step on Lego when your leg is made from the stuff. Time for more body art now, and this next one cuts right to the bone! (light instrumental music) This spine-chilling creation comes from TikTok artist Aurelie Magnan who displays a masterclass in
simple bodypainting illusions! Using just a lick of paint and a high contrast black background, this artist shows just
how much of a work of art our bodies can really be, bones and all! If covering your body in makeup and paint doesn't appeal to you, then why not try your hand in
the world of photo editing? This spliced snap was
created by photography and image editing wizard Laura Greco, who morphed this model
right into her surroundings. Only one thing to do
to make this better... Oh, dear god, no! It can be tough being original when it comes to posing for a photo in front of notable landmarks but there are some
creative tourists out there that are hell-bent on capturing the most memorable vacation snaps! This jaw dropping holiday pic featuring the leaning
tower of Pisa in Italy introduced forced feeding
to forced perspective, a technique where the
camera is carefully placed to make objects appear a different size to what they actually are. While it might look pretty easy, clearly, that's not always the case, though it's nothing a
little photoshop can't fix. Another tasty example of the forced perspective camera trick, this shot comes from
Instagram user HelloKrissay who posed with Pisa in the
most delicious way possible, making it her very own ice cream! Mm, marble choc chip. While having an epic
landmark as a photo prop isn't always an option, you'd be surprised at just how many everyday
items can become art! This health-conscious model has clearly been eating his greens, confidently modeling this
organic broccoli dress via yet another serving
of forced perspective! Like all great items of clothing, the broccoli dress is best served fresh. Moving on, this next
artist decided to ditch the half-naked man but keep the greens! (light instrumental music) Kishimoto Takehiro is a
Japanese culinary artist who transforms everyday
fruit and vegetables into edible masterpieces! He has created a whole
host of fantastical foods including this carrot
shrimp and squash chick! The inspiration for
Takehiro's elaborate delights are a combination of
traditional Japanese motifs, as well as an interest in
the centuries old practice of Thai fruit carving. Originally used to decorate
the tables of Thai royalty, this traditional technique
requires a raw talent for neatness and precision. Not only that but Takehiro
has to race the clock! In order to combat the
rapid effect of oxidation, that is, the browning that quickly occurs on some fruits' flesh in contact with air, some of Takehiro's creations must be finished in mere minutes! While many artists can marvel
at their creations forever, Takehiro's only choice
is to take a quick snap and chow down on his crunchy creations! From finite food art
to eternal edibles now. Instagram creative embroiderycode has a very unique method to ensure that her followers'
stomachs never stop rumbling: hyper-realistic embroidery. Using a unique 3D embroidery technique, Youmeng Liu's work looks
more than good enough to eat! While Liu keeps the secret
of her embroidery techniques close to her chest, 3D
embroidery like this is usually achieved by
using a hollow punch needle. The thread is fed directly
through the needle and is punched through to
the underside of the fabric in loose loops, creating a 3D effect. Embroiderycode's projects showcase a whole host of common foods including a slice of crunchy toast, an ice cream cone, as well
as a full English breakfast! Liu has created more than
20 out of the intended 301 for her embroidery adventure, and I for one can't wait to see what needled nibbles she'll
serve up for us next! While not everyone is in
possession of Liu's steady hand, turns out creating your very own food art may not be as complicated as you think! Check out this very appealing satsuma that appears to be so tasty
it's decided to steal itself! These simple yet clever peeling skills just goes to show that
it only takes a few moves to achieve maximum creative genius! While not all of us are blessed
with such unique talents, there's a whole load more
amazingly talented people to gawk at on the Be Amazed channel! If you've been inspired,
why not go on over and hit those like and subscribe buttons and tap that bell icon so you
never miss another upload! Now, let's get back to it. As you probably know,
the world of creative art isn't always pleasant. This teeth-brush, for example, is more than enough to
set my teeth on edge, especially when you imagine the grinding that would take place if you tried to use this
on your pearly whites! Pulling from the artistic
ideology of surrealism, where combining different everyday objects in unique and often grotesque
ways is their forte, this creepy work proves art
isn't always pleasing to the eye or mouth in this case! While a regular toothbrush is
commonplace in every bathroom, how many living rooms have you seen with something like this? Peeking up from the swampy
depths of a brown carpet, this rough-skinned resident
may look a little out of place in your everyday living
room, and for good reason! It's actually an ingenious
concrete garden ornament, but is sure to make much
more of an impression on visitors inside! I think we just found the perfect addition to any game of "the floor is lava". On to some more snappy creations now, and this one bites back! (light instrumental music) While that coin might look to be straight out of a
pirate's treasure chest, its menacing exterior covers
a whole wealth of history! Hobo nickel is the term used to describe the 18th century sculptural art form of hand-engraving coins to
create miniature sculptures. While this old-school art
is rarely practiced today, Russian artist Roman Booteen
has invested his time into keeping it alive by creating extraordinary coin carvings with a mechanical flair! For this golden bug coin, for example, Roman installed an
intricate spring system, triggered by pushing a button
on the rim of the coin, splaying out the wings of
the shiny metal insect. This all-seeing eye coin opens
as soon as it's picked up and looks to be triggered
by releasing pressure on a cleverly-camouflaged trigger on the tails side of the penny. The golden, bitey bait coin was made using a 1921
Morgan silver US dollar as well as a Mexican Dos Pesos
from 1945 encased inside. Roman's work on the coins
sent inflation skyrocketing when he auctioned off the
first golden bait coin for $10,101 on eBay! The metallic munchers are triggered when the gold Pesos is pressed and clamp down on anything and anyone who gets caught in the coin's trap jaws! I think I might have found a solution for my overspending problem! From one metallic marvel to another now. In our modern world of excessive waste, the need to re-use is
more important than ever. Thankfully there's one artist out there who shows that art really
can be created from trash! (light instrumental music) This artist created a
magnificent statue of Zeus, the Greek God of the sky and thunder, using an array of old
pipes and scrap metal! Scrap metal sculptures take time, and this artist would've had to plan out exactly what scrap metal he might need and figure out a way to source it, most likely from junkyards
and repair shops. Sculptural metal welding like this requires extensive knowledge and skill, as it often involves welding materials of awkward shapes and sizes. Regardless, the final statue
itself is a marvel to behold and this tin man is a true titan! While that heavy duty sculpture is clearly the work of a God,
this next mystical monument will have you wondering
if it's more art or magic. (light instrumental music) This eye-evading sculpture was created by illusionary artist Julian Voss-Andreae who is known for warping reality with his remarkable creativity. Before construction can
begin on his elusive figures, Julian uses a 3D scan
to photograph a subject from all angles and uses the data to model his design on a computer. For each sculpture, hundreds
of thin layers of bronze, steel or titanium pieces
are melded together. Thanks to their slimline appearance, Julian's sculptures have
the ability to disappear when looked at completely straight-on! Sat in the grounds of Portland
Community College, Oregon, Julian's sculpture is sure to
get any student's mind working as they try to work out exactly how he's pulled off this impressive illusion! If you live in an urban area, you probably see a whole
host of street art every day. But there's one artist out
there that loves nothing more than bringing his graffiti back to nature! This hair-raising portrait can be found in the Dois Corregos
area of Sao Paulo, Brazil and was created by renowned
street artist Robson Melancia. While visiting relatives in the area, Robson fell in love with
the Dois Corregos area, particularly a lone wall covered with a plume of magenta florals. While he didn't have his
paints with him that day, it gave him an idea. Upon his return to Dois Corregos in 2016, Robson sought permission
from the local authorities to work on the wall and the result is a truly beautiful sight! Not only does this art
transform a once plain wall, but the art itself also
changes with the seasons in the most natural
dye job I've ever seen! As showcased by Robson,
a lot of great street art works alongside its
surroundings, not against it, and there are plenty
more artists out there who share this belief! With more than 30 years of
bringing the everyday sidewalk to life under his belt, David Zinn has been
creating original artwork in and around Ann Arbor,
Michigan since 1987. This concrete reptile showcases exactly how David's chalk art cleverly interacts with its environment, creating a whole new dimension
of depth to the boardwalk! Using just simple chalk
and forced perspective to create a cast of colorful characters, David's on a mission to show that you don't need fancy equipment to bring great works
of art into our world! What's the most creative
piece of art you've ever seen? Share them with me in the comments below, and thanks for watching! (upbeat electronic music)
