Pablo Picasso's eccentric and surreal artwork has inspired countless
modern artists, including Pakistani illustrator Omar Aqil, who imagined
how some of the Spanish icon's most recognisable pieces would look as 3D
models.
"I have been studying his artworks
since I have started my career, his abstract visual language always
inspired me..." Aqil wrote on Behance about the project, titled
MIMIC.
"In this visual mimicry I have shown how the skill responds when it
come across the complexity of someone’s thought, and how the meanings of
the shapes and forms have been changed and create new physical
qualities."
The models are striking, especially considering they
were digitally rendered - they look as if they were physically
constructed thanks to Aqil's extreme attention to textures and shadows.
His work is both a fitting tribute to Picasso, and an innovative advent
in its own right.
