''The Kiss'' painting by artist, Gustav Klimt

I really like oil on canvas paintings (with ornate overlay work like this one). This imagery sort of pulls you into it.
 
I love native american Indian art

If you have ever been to a Pow-wow, this is what it feels like.

I love Van Gogh, and this would have been an experience to remember. Other versions have come to the US, too bad I missed the exhibit that was nearest to me this summer.

"To accompany the show, Studio Danny Rose presents works and decors from Japan that have fascinated Van Gogh. From Hokusai’s famous Wave to the cherry blossom, we’re immersed in Japan as dreamt by Van Gogh."​

Hmm... I'd long since forgot that.

"Like many artists, Van Gogh was fascinated by the compositions of the prints, which didn't adhere to the standard rules of Western Art. Japanese artists were not afraid to crop out elements, exclude the horizon, use unusual color combinations, and leave space in the middle foreground of their work. Van Gogh began to adopt some of these principles as he learned that the Japanese aesthetics freed him from the rigid compositional rules typically employed by European artists. "

On the image above we see artwork "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Japanese artist Hokusai, which was published in 1832 as the first in Hokusai's series 36 Views of Mount Fuji.
It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa; Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. The main reason of publishing this artwork here is highly detailed painted wave. As we know, some artworks, which are close to fractal images by detailed elaboration, were created long before the inventing fractals by Benoît Mandelbrot. Sea waves can be represented by many types of fractals, as you can see below.
