The world has been ablaze for many a century with passion, color, and creativity - the main tenets of any and all loveliness in the universe. While nature might be one of the greatest creators of all, Man also holds some high esteem as a bringer of wonder, magic, and breathtaking beauty. Carefully crafted with laborious skill, painstaking precision, and a whole lot of feeling, art goes so far beyond oil paintings and marble sculptures. It exists in the way we build our world, philosophize, and share stories. These paintings depict just a few of the wonderful creations humankind and civilization have brought into the world in the spirit of sharing all that loveliness, from hyper-realistic paintings to gorgeous cityscapes.
