The imagination can certainly bring anyone to different worlds and dimensions. The diversified cosmos of art would allow us to express those creative scenarios that come to our mind. With that, we are able to extend to the greater world the kind of world we have created within us. Whatever others think about may vary but what matters most is that we are able to show a different artistic scene to them through different mediums.

Today, a very talented artist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia will wow us with his digital paintings. Alex Andreyev will bring us to his air world where things the least we expect would levitate. His surreal illustrations do not only show us distinct scenarios but his genius skills in art are also reflected. Hold your breath as we reveal to you some of his masterpieces as part of his “A Separate Reality” series.
