Multi-colored labyrinths in photographs by a Swiss artist Fabian Oefner these are not Petri dishes under a microscope, and not images of viruses or other microorganisms, as it might initially seem. These are surreal pictures that you get when you mix watercolor paint with a magnetic fluid. Playing with multi-colored paint is one of the favorite directions in the work of this talented young artist. Diluting the paint with water, dripping with gouache, watercolor or colored ink into a container filled with a transparent liquid, we get amazing paintings that resemble multi-colored explosions, or abstract sculptures, or even figures and shapes from the famous Rorschach test. Fabian Oefner's work is much more complex and interesting. He also adds watercolor paint to the water, but then he injects ferrofluid, a magnetic fluid into this substance, and uses a magnet. And then channels in the water are chaotically formed, like passages in a labyrinth, along which diluted watercolor of bright colors flows.
Not only an artist, but also a photographer, Fabian Oefner takes macro photographs of the amazing color labyrinths that are obtained as a result of his experiments. These paintings, collected together in one extensive series of creative works, the artist called the Millefiori art project.
The artist's experimental art project was presented in art galleries in many countries of Europe, USA, Canada, Japan … More details about the work of Fabian Oefner - on his website.

Bubble film filled with paint. Unusual paintings by Bradley Hart from the Injections art project
Perhaps, there is no such person who could resist the temptation to burst a dozen or two bubbles on the packaging plastic film, which is wrapped in especially "delicate" electronics. The merry bubble madness that has swept the world is sometimes equated with meditation, as the process is believed to have a calming effect. American artist Bradley Hart is also not indifferent to bubble wrap. Huge rolls of this polyester are kept in his workshop
