Looking for your next Instagram inspiration? Try Asiyami Gold. The
Nigerian-born model, designer, photographer, and creative director, documents her adventures and shares them on her glamorous Instagram page.

Having a passion for design, photography, and travel, Gold decided to launch her own creative agency in 2013, and her eye-catching aesthetic has been sought after by brands like GAP, J. Crew, PANTENE, and VOGUE.

“I picked up a camera when I turned 15 and never looked back. I enjoyed documenting life and the beauty that I saw in things that others didn’t deem as beautiful,” she recalled in an interview with Create & Cultivate.

“I love documenting beautiful things and giving life to things that are often taken for granted. Through my work, I’m able to offer a different perspective on how people may perceive their everyday ‘norm’ and that to me is what really makes it all magical.”

Prepare to be inspired (or jealous).

Feeling under the weather? Try a spoon full of Coco Dávez. Dávez (Valeria Palmeiro’s stage name), makes colorful art pieces in a variety of fields, from
painting and photography to installation art.

“I’m self-taught and interested in all fields of art,” she said in an interview with Square Mile. “I’ve worked with many diverse clients on all kinds of projects as a photographer, art director, and a painter. I like to mix these mediums but ultimately, I would define myself as an artist.”

Her colorful approach doesn’t go unnoticed, with clients such as
Chanel, Shiseido, Desigual, Dior, Prada, Vogue and more, and so far she has exhibited her work in cities like Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Madrid. She also published her first book last year, titled Faceless.

There’s something truly relaxing about an organized space. Multimedia artist, Kristen Meyer’s, knows a thing or two about it. She arranges materials like rocks, leaves, and metal, in geometric shapes that are laid down on pastel backgrounds.

All of her arrangements are shot in her house in New Haven Connecticut, where she keeps a studio. “As far as how I find materials to experiment with, it varies a lot,” she told Colossal. “I generally work with what I can find around the house, inside or out. It begins as a scavenger hunt of sorts, and then a challenge as I begin to build.”

Her artistic career includes work in floral design, interior decorating, window design, and prop styling.

Portraits can be made using different techniques, from painting through photographing and sculpting. But have you ever heard of paper sculpture portraits?

Alma Haser’s photographs add another dimension to two-dimensional portraits, using paper-folding techniques, collages, and mixed media. Born into an artistic family in the Black Forest in Germany, she was immersed in art from an early age.

“My father is a painter and sculptor and my mother, when we were living in Germany, was doing pottery, but has moved on to first mixed media and then photography, which inspired me I think,” she shared with Plastik Magazine.

Now based in London, she admits that her interest with photography begun when she was a little girl. “My first ever camera was a Box Brownie, which I was given when I was about seven,” she shared. “I used to set up scenes with my dolls and photograph them. And at this point, my mother was doing photography and had a darkroom, which I found extremely interesting, and used to develop my own pictures.”

Sarah Maple’s artwork, film, and performances have been exhibited at galleries and institutions including Tate Britain, Golden Thread Gallery, and Tallin Art Hall.

Considered one of England’s most celebrated feminist artists, she’s known for taking a stand through her bold (and occasionally controversial) artworks that challenge notions of identity, religion and the status quo.

Maple draws inspiration from her mixed religious and cultural upbringing. “Initially I just liked drawing, painting and writing,” she told Powder Zine. “After a while I realized I was quite good at it. I started studying art and realized, as cheesy as it sounds, art gave me a voice.”

“I realised I could get across the things I wanted to express through this media. It’s the most exciting thing in the world to me. I love making art that touches people or makes them think about something in a new light.”

“I think in daily life I feel powerless but in my art I don’t,” she admitted. “I feel like I can be loud and sensationalist and attention grabbing, it’s the exact opposite of what I am as a person.”

Let her art grab your attention.

Chinese photographer Liu Bolin treats his body as a canvas. Known as
The Invisible Man, Bolin uses body paint to camouflage himself, blending seamlessly into the background.

He adopted his technique almost a decade ago, treating it firstly as a political act. “It was November 16, 2005, when the City of Beijing decided to knock down the Suojia Village neighborhood, where my studio once was,” he shared with Elle Decor. “In protest, I decided to take a photo camouflaging myself into the ruble of my studio to draw attention to the conditions of artists like myself.”

“In my works, I use my body and that of others to explore the impact and the paradoxical relationship with the ‘backdrop’, or the surrounding environment,” he explained. “I think using a body as the central image has a strong impact and attracts more attention from the public. This language is also a great way to represent my thoughts on the paradoxical relationship between man and the world. Have you ever asked yourself why man, other species, or ecosystems disappear?”

Luisa Azevedo is 20 years old and her interest in photography was born five years ago. At first, she took simple photos with her phone, but her natural curiosity led her to learn more about the craft. She eventually discovered Photoshop and that’s when things became interesting.

“The first image I edited on Photoshop was published in March 2015,” she writes. “Since then it’s been a long way. Everything I know I learned by myself, watching tutorials about Photoshop on Youtube.”

Using photo manipulation software, she deconstructs the world around her and reconstructs it in her own way. You can see her awesome photos below and more on her Instagram page.

San Francisco-based photographer Jack Daly challenges old stereotypes about masculinity with his project “The Real Man Catalogue.”

Inspired by early ’80s ads, Daly is tackling premises of masculinity one photo at a time. Why is he using the ads from the 80s? It is something he’d “been gorging over…they seemed like the perfect way to highlight how outdated these masculine stereotypes are”, he explained, “how ridiculous [he thinks] they are”.

San Francisco-based photographer Jack Daly challenges old stereotypes about masculinity with his project “The Real Man Catalogue.”

Inspired by early ’80s ads, Daly is tackling premises of masculinity one photo at a time. Why is he using the ads from the 80s?
