 Spanish sculptor Isabel Miramontes makes amazing bronze sculptures based on the human body. Inspired by “poses and impressions,” Miramontes creates these broken up bronze figures and surreal shapes that create an overwhelming sense of movement. These pieces are meant to focus on a deeper visualization of the human body in relation to the state of mind, and as the artist puts they are essentially illustrating emotional despair in physical form. These sculptures are stunning and so creative, and I would love to be able to bring in some of this creativity into my own depiction of people, as I am trying to break away from simple drawings of people's faces.

Guy Denning is an english contemporary artist and painter who primarily works in France. He is one of the founders of the neomodern group. Denning is a self-taught artist who both draws and paints. He is most known for his very bold abstract pieces focusing on the expressive brushstrokes. But what caught my eye the most was his pencil and charcoal drawings of faces. The first above on the left is so stunning and I adore the composition of the body and the open characteristic of the picture not being solid and fading out in certain parts. That is something I have briefly tried and did not really succeed but this has inspired me to maybe try again.
