Bas-Relief is a technique as old as humankind’s very first artistic endeavors, a way of sculpting figures that are slightly raised from a flat surface. Bas-Relief sculptures could be found on the walls of all kinds of buildings and temples from ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, and now it’s making a comeback.
Russian artist Goga Tandashvili is a master of the art, bringing scenes inspired by the natural world. Think long-tailed birds, flowers and luxurious fronds of fern. The scenes blend in perfectly with their surroundings, meaning that your home décor actually becomes a beautiful piece of impressionist art. Goga is also a painter, and this comes across in his sculptures. He draws on the wall, and then adds material on top of the lines to create the 3D effect, bringing interiors to life with vivid textures and contours.
But how does he do it? “I use a different tool depending on the artistic problem: knives, cutters, chisels, palette knives, he told Bored Panda. “The choice of the material is also determined by the task, for the interior I work with gypsum mixtures, this is the old material that has proved itself for centuries. If there is a need to do work from bronze, granite, marble, steel and so on, then I could also do that.”
“I am primarily interested in the artistic image, and the material is secondary, although it adds character to the work. I also paint, this is my first love. I came to sculpture from painting and I’m very happy to be able to translate it into bas-reliefs.”

Completely blown away by the detail and the intricacies. I'd love to see more of his work!
This is just stunning, what a work of art. I would love to have this in my home.
Very nice! However I can imagine all the dust that these nooks and crannies hold, now you have to dust and vacuum your walls too.
Exactly. My first thought was, amazing. My second was how the hell do you clean that. Guess it shows how lazy and low class I am.

Staggeringly beautiful. Can't quite find the words to express how impressive this is. Oh, for half the talent..!
He's NOT Russian, he's Georgian. Maybe he's based in Russia, but again he's not Russian. Please change the title.
Incredibly beautiful and wonderful artwork. The attention to detail is mind blowing. It's like modern day renaissance art but even more breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and genius with the world. Please keep up the wonderful work you do. The world needs more beautiful artwork like this.
I wonder how much he charges for each piece? Whatever it is its worth it! Absolutely stunning.
I’ve never seen anything like it, nor have I ever been so impressed!! Details are down to minutiae, but rendered so precisely. I would just like to sit on a bench in front of one and ponder the wonder of it all! I love it!
I think my Dad would love to see this images... He works as a precast designer, he sometimes sculpt his works freehand too, to add more minute details...
Just thinking about the painstaking detail make my head hurt. Really Stunning!
