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.

To me the it doesn't have the same feel...probably because the people were omitted... still a very impressive image!

Oops, just read the description. A mistake from my side, sorry!

I like yours better. The vibrant colours. The shadowed areas intensified by the juxtaposition of the warm lights. The ascending blue of the buildings climbing to the star lit sky. Quiet. Peaceful. To include the people would only add visual noise. Thank you. Please continue your refreshing re-imaginings.

Great job. It's art meets world. Would love to see more of your work

It just feels like there's an old cafe owner going to walk out and start putting the chairs and tables back inside for the night.

I think the concept is to show space without people. It's pretty dope.
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.

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.

This painting was the inspiration for Jackson Browne's album (the cover) "Late for the Sky".

Both are beautiful but the water in the second really makes me think of cold water, at dusk, with a light breeze disturbing it.
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.

That leaps off my screen - I want to reach out and grab the items off the table. It works beautifully.
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.

Nicely done, however I think your work would be stronger with the inclusion of the human subjects that make these paintings memorable.

Me too the famous painting one’s powerful BECAUSE there the women in the foreground, the digital rework lacks the oomph or energy of the original.

She couldn't drag herself back to the house fast enough and the grass grew around her. ☹

I think I prefer this - the texture and light are beautiful. Christina's world appeared to be a sad one at the time the original was done. Maybe it's just because I'm in a lot of pain but I don't want really to look at pictures that make me think about it.

Although I appreciate the effort and great execution of light and dark on the image I absolutely hate the new and shiny dispensers in the corner - they draw way to much attention.

IMO it looks better. I can imagine myself there…people don’t always add to it. This looks so clean, lonely and inviting… perfect

I really like this one because of the juxtaposition of people/no people...... seems very current in the covid & lockdown era.

Because the digital artist was reimagining the architecture of these painting- without people.

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.

I can use Autocad and I understand the work that is involved. Your idea is unique, and it seems that not everyone read the description and motivation of this kind of work. I'm just wondering how long did it take to re-create a single background.
Yulia Pidlubnyak (Post author) 7 years ago
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.
Mandy Delaforce (PC Girl) 7 years ago
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!
