Mirella Santana is a young and talented digital artist from Brazil that I have found on deviantart. I was really impressed by her blending techniques as well as her digital painting skills. Mirella creates dark, emotional and fantasy photo manipulations inspired by her own imagination, where she is mixing different stock images and matte painting. I was inspired by her art works and I will try to recreate one of her photo manipulations in a tutorial. You can find Mirella on deviantart Mirella Santana DA Profile or you can join her on facebook.

In this new list we are featuring the amazing artworks of talented artist Larissa Kulik. Beside the inspirational gallery, you will also find out more about Larissa. An interesting subject is what inspires her to create these beautiful photo manipulations and how she sees digital art in general.

Because the photography goes hand in hand with digital art, Larissa is also a good photographer. You can get in touch with her trough multiple social media networks like deviantart or facebook.

I always had great appreciation for Russian art and artists. The Russians are very talented and we all know their famous ballet art, their famous writers, musicians or painters.

The illustration art genre has also some great names. One of my favorite illustrators is Sergey Nikolaev, a young artist from Moscow, Russia. He has collaboration with different advertising agencies and magazines as an illustrator. He lives and works in Moscow at the moment and he continues working, creating and experimenting with his illustrations, paintings and collages.

For questions regarding the purchase of his illustrations, you can send him an email at : serge.nikolaev@gmail.com. You can also find Sergey here:
