American artist of Chinese descent, Mary Qian (born 1973 in Shanghai) currently lives and works in Chicago, engaging in graphic design, but also dedicates several hours each day to painting. Primarily using oil paints, the main subject of her work is the female figure. Stunning works!

Albert Anker: Capturing Timelessness Through Childhood Paintings | May 06 2024, 12:56

Albert Anker was a Swiss painter and graphic artist of the 19th century. He has about 500 paintings of children of various ages and social statuses. I hardly found a couple of his works where there are no children or old people—these are still lifes. His paintings look like a photo album from the past, and it becomes clear that not much has changed over the next 100 years in many parts of our world.
