I'm amazed that she could bring that much control into a painting with watercolor. Incredible definition.

With a desire to put shape into imagination together with an intuitive approach to the material she works with, product designer and sculptor, Anna Maria Øfstedal Eng (b.1993) creates furniture and interior objects that challenges the boundary between art and functional products.​

Mysteries, shapes and materials of the Norwegian nature fascinate and in the making process, she often lets uncontrollable formations control and beautify her work. Her objects can both be used as sculptures and functional objects, where quirky morphing aesthetics is her field of interest. Each product is unique and carefully handmade in her own workshop at Fjellhamar, Norway.

Born in 1963 in Sichuan, The artist is renowned for the incredible detail in his works which can only truly be appreciated up close or with a magnifying glass. In the paintings and close-ups below you can observe the incredible precision of his paintbrush, even capturing the shadow cast by a sweater’s thread on his subject’s skin.

Wow!! Now it'd be fun to see that driving down the street. But doesn't that vehicle violate some legal visibility requirements?

Never paint your model before she's had her coffee.
