What a beautiful dream

I happened to run across the computer generated paintings or Cyril Rolando from France.  It turns out he started playing with some simple computer programs before he started working with Photoshop.  He has since turned his hobby of playing into some incredibly beautiful works that look like paintings, but have all been made on a computer.




What do you think?  Do you believe that this is just a hobby for him?  Do you know what type of art that he is creating?  I'll give extra credit if you can tell me the genre that he is inspired by.

  1. This is some cool stuff. I wonder how he even generated this. My favorite one is the one with the whales floating around the glacier. It reminds me of those Lisa frank folders back in the day I'm going to guess that he is inspired by surrealism.

  2. This looks cool. It really does look like a dream with the colors that are used. I like the last one with the waves and the animals coming out of it.

  3. This looks cool, but it is something that I would just not pay much attention to. I mean for the most part it looks great for the first few minutes you look at it, but then it starts to look bland.

  4. This is really cool but I dont think I would want to do this as a project. It look really hard to make. It is really amazing how they did this though.

  5. Some of these are really interesting to look at. There is a bunch going on in multiple of his works, and it never leaves me bored. These types of works is what I find really cool and wonder how some people are so talented.

  6. These are really cool. They must take a lot of time and patience. The end product is worth the hard work.

  7. I think this looks very cool, my favorite is the eye. It would be even more impressive though if he did it by hand instead of using a computer to photo shop. I think these took a long time to make, so I definitely think this is more than a hobby, unless he has a lot of free time on his hands.

  8. If this is a hobby, it is the coolest hobby ever. i am going to make the whale one the background on my phone, so that one is definitely my favorite.
    As for the extra credit, no idea. Surrealism?

  9. I think these are amazing. I like the one of the boy looking through the window on the ground. I have no idea what he was inspired by.

  10. I think that these pieces are so creative, and I think that the eye one is the best one. I love how it shows how she feels inside of her eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  11. These are so cool, they make you have to look twice. The one where the boy is laying down and looking through a window is cool, because it feels real even though its not very possible.

  12. These are sick. These people have too much time on their hands though. I wish we had enough time to do these in art class......

    ReplyDelete
  13. These look cool. I have seen some people do this with chalk on a sidewalk or a street and sometimes they do holes and when people walk over them it makes them terrified when they looked down.

    ReplyDelete
  14. These pictures are truly breath taking in many ways. The meanings behind these pictures and how they drew them are crazy. I still cant believe someone drew these.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Software like photoshop allows you to do so much with art, makes it easier and such. You get to delete you're mistakes,which is what makes it easier. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a hobby for him. Its awesome and fulfilling to create art.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love how they made this one a optical illusion by making him look into a window that is in the ground. Its like he is looking into a different world.

    ReplyDelete
  17. this is really neat because you can paint just about anything that you can think of. the colors look really cool too im kinda curious as of what type of style it is too.

    ReplyDelete
  18. All of these are really cool. I really like these pictures. They cool and I imagine it took a long time to make. I don't think I could do this.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Surrealism. I love the types of art like this. I'm a big fan of Lisa Frank and surreal things like dragons, Trico(A giant cat with bird and dog features) and Phoenixes. I find these really cool nd I would do this as a hobby.

    ReplyDelete
  20. by far the coolest thing ive seen in a while. that eye is amazing. what the guy pushing the waves is unreal.

  35. These pieces of art are so creative. All the paintings are not realistic yet they still look they could be. They must have taken the time on them to get them all perfect.

  36. I like how the kid is looking through a window on the ground. That's like saying that you are looking at a different site than your own. I love the whale one around the glaciers.

    ReplyDelete
  37. If this is his hobby i wonder what they would look like if it wasn't. My favorite one is of the girl in the eye. She is in pain and sad and the boy is trying to get rid of that.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The artist is very creative with the computer,and I think this is a hobby for them. He uses colorful colors that stand out. Some of his art are illusions like the one where there is a window in the ground.

  40. This is a wonderful piece of art. It's whimsical, magical, and wonderful all at the same time. I believe this is not just a hobby; it's a life style for him. I truly believe that this is how he sees life and I truly admire that.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This is amazing. The artwork is very beautiful and creative. He puts a lot of detail into his work and i love that.

    ReplyDelete
  42. this looks so real i had to look at it twice.

    ReplyDelete
  43. This is an amazing form of art, I really like all the bright colors. my favorite one is the picture of an eye because there is hundreds of ways to interpret it. If i had the chance, I would like to recreate the picture of the boy leaning over the window on the ground, but I would use an old window frame, a mirror, and a camera.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love the last one. All the art is super good I like this type of art.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love the last one it really makes the picture real and the water is realistic

    ReplyDelete

  52. I think these art peices are really amazing. I feel like it would’ve been cooler if it wasn’t photoshopped and actually hand drawn. It still looks sooo good!!! I really like the very first one.

  55. Yes, these art pieces art truly a work of art. It's like if you could open up your imagination and see everything that goes on in it. Is this a mix of digital art and landscape painting, these are amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I really like these imaginative pieces. It's like Toy Story, how imaginative and creative do you have to be to make talking toys! I wish someday I make something as cool as Buzz Lightyear, soldier of Star Command. or make something as cool as the hard boiled western cowboy like Woody. And such a cool plot element as them being stuck with disgusting Cronenberg's in a demented violent kids house. And like the second movie where Woody thought he found his true purpose the gods (humans) made for him. I wonder what I'd do in a situation like that! Woody and his friends where strong though to face the gods (humans) machines in the end at the airport and with the plane. Though the third movie sucks, it's trying to grasp at the imaginative plots of the first and second movie with a weak reboot. A plot about finding purpose, uh, Toy Story 2 much? or them getting double crossed by some Camp Lazlo/Care Bear looking fella? No thanks, boring and cliche. And Andy's old? it ruins the innocence of the movies. I heard they're making a 4th movie and I bet it's really going to suck and is just going to be a crappy money grab like the last one. And did you hear about The Incredibles 2 coming out?! Oh my heck! leave those perfect classics alone you money hungry star-wars buying pieces of crap at disney! GOOD DAY!

  57. this is probably some of the coolest paintimg ive seen. i really ;ike these. i couldnt do it tho. im not very talented

  59. the eye one is very creepy but very cool.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love this art. all the colors that are in the pictures make it stand out. its very cool.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I know I already commented on this, but I really love this artwork. I really do think that this is a lifestyle for him, and he sees life like this. I again say I admire this with my whole heart.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I don't think people really see the message here. It's clearly to look inside your dreams and to put more thought into them. Clearly the artist is trying to tell everyone that they had a dream, and they tried to look into it deeper, but when they did they forgot and starting focusing back into the mist of life.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I really enjoy the concept of these. They are very cool. Tis artwork is very rad.

    ReplyDelete
  64. How do they see the paintings before they paint them? They are really cool. I like the bright colors that they used.

    ReplyDelete
  69. It looks more like a painting. He got the pictures really close and they look like they all fit really nicely. Even the color fits together.

    ReplyDelete
  70. These are cool, Where do these people come up with these ideas. I could never do it because I think too basic.

    ReplyDelete
  71. this would take forever and I would probably give up before I finished and I like to draw real things like flags

    ReplyDelete
  72. I really dig this form of art , it's really trippy more than anything, brings out a fantasy vibe to it. I like this.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I feel like there a deep meaning in these images. They are really bright and unique. There are so many different ways a person could interpret these images.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I don't know if these are pictures, paintings, or drawings. These look cool, because they are unique. I have not seen anything like that.

    ReplyDelete
  75. These are so beautiful! I just don't understand how people come up with these ides. I've seen things like this before and I've always thought that they were all pretty unique.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I like looking at these pieces. It gives you another perspective of what it "could" be, and it automatically opens your imagination. My favorite one is the girl inside of the eye and then the boy trying to help her,

    ReplyDelete
  77. I love these photos!!! They really open your imagination. I have seen soo many pictures like these before, I just love looking at thing and getting sucked into them just looking at them. The are vibrant and remind me of fantasy books you'd read and picture in your mind or watch on tv or in movies. I wanna know how they do this.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I like the last one. It looks intersting. All of them are very nice.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I really like this style of artwork. I really like the one with the horse in the water, but that seems hard to make. I wish I could make art this cool.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I really like these ones. I want to try doing something like this but i suck at drawing. I love the first one.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I really like these pieces of art they look very pretty, and i also like the cool colors on them:P

    ReplyDelete
  82. If this was just a hobby for him what would happen if he dedicated some serious time to this. This is so creative, I want to know how he thought of these.

    ReplyDelete
  83. These are cool. They kind of remind me of Thomas Barbey. The colors blend together. The second picture has cool colors that mix really well.

    ReplyDelete
  84. This one is super neat because of all the colors. And how they mix together. It makes a sort of galaxy sort of effect.

    ReplyDelete
  85. There is so much meaning in all of these. All of the thought in these is so cool.

    ReplyDelete
  86. These ones are really cool because they have a lot of really cool colors an expression in the pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  87. These are very colorful. I do not think that it is just a hobby but it could be. He is very talented. Maybe surrealism.

    ReplyDelete
  88. THis looks very hard to do. I think it looks cool, but I do not think I would want to do this project. You could put a lot of creativity into this project. My favorite one is the guy looking through the window

    ReplyDelete
  89. These paintings have bright colors and obviously have a story to tell if you look deeper into the picture. I don't have a favorite i like all of them.

    ReplyDelete
  90. These are very interesting, fun to look at pieces of art. I really like the first one, I would like to do something similar to that. All the colors really add to pieces.

    ReplyDelete
  91. This is some crazy stuff to look at. I really like the eye on how you make it really big but made it seem normal size with the people in the eye like that.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I think these are really ool. My guess would be that he is inspired by surrealism. i would like to try these because they make you think and it looks really cool.

    ReplyDelete
  93. these are amazing, I could definitely make a hobby out of this, this is one of the few pieces of art where you can leave at anytime and pick up days later and have no consequences, for other kinds of art if you leave in the middle you might not be able to get the shading just right this he doesn't have to worry about that. I would guess he would be inspired by fanatasy

    ReplyDelete
  94. These are really cool. They look like they took a long time to make. It would be really fun to try these I think.

    ReplyDelete
  95. these look real. This is super cool. I wish we could do this.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I like how colorful this is. I like the eye, it's really cool.
