Body Art a Way to Express Yourself

Wariors’ paint before the hunt or battle, colorful images applied on the body before the rites – all of this can be classified as body art. For many centuries, body art was a manifestation of human feelings, emotions and beliefs, thanks to this it remained relevant art form even today.













The Largest Diamond Deposit In Russia

The Udachnaya pipe is the largest diamond deposit in Russia and one of the largest in the world. According to Wikipedia, it is an open-pit mine and it is almost 600 meters (1 968 ft.) deep. When you are standing on the top, the huge Caterpillars look tiny. And when you are at the bottom of the pipe, it looks… well, it looks just amazing (the 2nd photo).





















Animals Made of Dumped Cars

Once the cars are dumped on a landfill, they do not die, they gain a second life – in another life form. To be more precise – in the form of cows or bulls. At least that is what is happening in Finland, where the artist and designer creates a giant metal cow from its antiquated coachwork. Helsinki-based sculptor Miina Äkkijyrkkä’s sculptures are immense. She purchases dozens of used vehicles from dealers around Finland and uses the colorful scraps to form these towering bovines that at times look coincidentally like an At At from Star Wars. She not only attended art school, she also spent a year studying at the Dairy Farming School. Äkkijyrkkä’s artwork reflects her academic history, with an added dash of mechanic chic.
