Hello, my name is Yulia Pidlubnyak, I'm from ymage works. Inspired by iconic paintings, I re-ymagined them in 3D world, focusing on architectural forms, textures, and light.
I left people out from these paintings to show what lies further, which is at first unnoticed to our eye.

Cafe Terrace At Night By Vincent Van Gogh
To me the it doesn't have the same feel...probably because the people were omitted... still a very impressive image!
Out of these paintings I reimagined, my personal favorite is Chop Suey by Edward Hopper. I think that one turned out well capturing the light and the mood. Also, the composition of the image without the people works well.
Some of the images, for instance, the American Gothic, look completely different from the original painting. And that is expected since people are the main subject in that painting. Chop Suey, however, still is a captivating image, even without the people in it.
Chop Suey By Edward Hopper
I think you captured the essence of the light play by Hopper without the subjects, difficult task as he was a master of his art form. However, without the subjects it still looks so sterile and looses it appeal. You captured the background masterfully however, and I do want to commend you for that. Simply striking.
I’d say my process is very similar to a 3D artist's approach to their work. Model, add light, and apply texture. Something that stands out is that I do my research and 3D work parallel to each other. When I learn and find something new, I test it immediately.
Empire Of Light By Rene Magritte
Making one of these images took somewhere between 10-20 hours. The complexity of architecture and details added time to modeling. For instance, Paris Street; Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebote was the most time-consuming to model.
The Dessert: Harmony In Red By Henri Matisse
As with many artists, creative block happens quite often. Sometimes creating an image becomes very frustrating because it just doesn’t turn out to be how I pictured it in my head. To resolve it, I often look at work sketches of any famous artist. We are so used to seeing their final work that we forget that everyone starts somewhere. So seeing someone else work out a creative block problem is the biggest boost.
Christina's World By Andrew Wyeth
Nicely done, however I think your work would be stronger with the inclusion of the human subjects that make these paintings memorable.
Nighthawks By Edward Hopper
Paris Street; Rainy Day By Gustave Caillebotte
American Gothic By Grant Wood
I'm not feeling it. It looks like someone sharing their work while learning to do 3D models.
Good attention to detail, lighting and focus. You've added information where there was none, and you've interpreted information where some could be inferred. I would say this is a great attempt and a wonderful beginning. As others and myself have noted, the scenes are a bit sterile, however, I also get that including the human subjects would not allow us to focus on the image itself. Great work and I do believe we will see more and you will get nothing but better. Do not allow ignorant people to dissuade you.
Well said. Those that don’t understand the process will always tear others work down if they can.

Hi Kelly, thank you for your comment! I was working on this project after work, so I usually had only 1-2 hours at a time to work on this. So to guesstimate it one image took about 30 hours. But that’s just an average. Some of them, with a large number of elements took up to 50 hours.

In my opinion everything that is unique to the original paintings, from each artist's style to the brush strokes, is stripped to make them into stale 3D models. It's just boring.
Visually, it's all very much copying the background, but it needs more "life". I'm not talking about people, I mean that it's missing that random subtle texture that real life has. Keep at it! I'd like to see more.
hey, idk why everyone's hating about how you dont put the people, but this is actually genius and very well executed. keep it up, its great!
Wow none of the commentators understood the artist's intention. He is doing homage, and working his 3D skills as a digital art expirament.
He was trying to recreate the famous paintings as if they were photographs.

This is fine, but I prefer the way the film "Loving Vincent" interpreted his work.
That’s not what they were trying to accomplish- they were trying to recreate famous paintings to look like a realistic photograph.

You want to critique, fine, but you don't need to be harassing or down right rude. The artist has done something you have not, its the beginning of a new medium. Its an interesting take on the classics. Why not appreciate that someone has given 3D life to 2D representations?
