Give me a HAND and I shall make it a Masterpiece

To create Art most artists use their hands but not the way theese guys that we are about to see. Join me on my journey to one of the most fantastic forms of art you’ve likely never seen in your life.

My passion for hand arts started long ago when I fist saw the series of (c)WWF with its “Give a hand to Wildlife” performed by artist Guido Daniele. Image Source

I just can’t really think how he sees all his works the way they are - for me it is one of the most incredible art I have seen in my life.

To give you the full picture of what he actually does with hand Art I want to higlight some more of his Advertisement work he did for the AT&T mobile operator. Each artwork illustrates the country where the service is provided - just try to guess which one (I will provide it for you later, but for now just look)

I can’t stop thinking what wild imagination this guy must have to create all of this!

But there is another artist who captured my attention as she has a whole series called “Hand Paintings.” What is special about it? The author uses HER OWN left hand as a canvas. She is originally Russian and I am very proud that I can share her works here as well. Meet Svetlana Kolosova and her unique art created based on our most famous fairy tales:

I even managed to find few images with hidden illusions on hand. Although they are not so bright and colorful as the previous pictures, In my opinion, they are still worth to be mentioned here.

At the same time there is still room to excel even after all of this beautiful work that you’ve just seen. Just look at this one

Can’t get what is so special about it and why the hands? Just look at this video for the answer.

And if you like me are fasciated by the fact that this is a full-time first-grade teacher in San Jose, California, just watch some of his other works:

Special credit to my husband @nikigenji who introduced me to his works

AND THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST

And how would I finish this article? Very simple. I just want to bring you attention that Art is the bridge which exists between an Artwork and the one who sees at it and I bet there is nothing better to illustrate it than one of my favourite optical illusions by the same Guido Daniele
