Art Moderne Design Nazmiyal

Art Moderne Design

Art Moderne is an influential design style that thrived during the 1930s and 1940s. There is overlap between Art Moderne and Art Deco, so much so that people often confuse the former for the latter or use the two terms interchangeably. In fact, historians themselves often do not agree on the relationship between Art Moderne and Art Deco, with some describing Art Moderne as a phase of Art Deco, some regarding it as a spin-off, and some seeing it as a completely different movement. Though recognizably vintage, Art Moderne continues to influence interior design in subtle ways to this day.

Antonio Santin Nazmiyal

Artist Antonio Santin 3D Rug Paintings

When you look at a work of art by Antonio Santin, you may think at first that you are looking at an intricate hand-woven rug. However, Santin is not a rug-maker but a painter. For each of his oil paintings of rugs, he uses thousands of brushstrokes to accurately recreate every detail of the original’s fabric and patterns. It is not the detailed painting of the rugs themselves that make Santin’s paintings so arresting yet so unsettling, though. It is what appears to lie beneath.
