30 Altoids Tins Revived With Tiny Paintings Of Landscapes And Cityscapes By An Ohio-Based Artist (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Who could have thought that simple Altoid tins could transform into various useful everyday objects and even masterpieces? In this case, Ohio-based artist Remington Robinson continues to create beautiful mini Plein air paintings. His tiny blank canvas turns into realistic paintings portraying natural and urban landscapes.
As the artist told Bored Panda: “my work influences me in the way that it is a meditative experience to directly connect with the subject I am painting. The meditative process of painting has an equalizing effect, and I usually feel more calm and more peaceful after having engaged in the process of painting. One woman I know, who owns two of my pieces, recently was interviewed about my work and said that she “actually felt the joy that he felt potentially being there in this beautiful scene.” Therefore, it is safe to admit that people interested in buying his work will not only get a beautifully intricate work of art but a meditative experience as well.

considering how close they were standing, they might have used a camera to help get the wide angle perspective

These are all superb. Love them. I'll admit though that at first I thought he painted straight onto the lid and he ate a lot of Altoids...
