5,000 year old V-neck shirt confirmed as world's oldest garment


What you see here is the world's oldest-known woven garment still in existence. It's 5,000 years old, and was found by archeologists in an ancient Egyptian tomb in 1913. The Tarkhan Dress, as it has been dubbed, is currently on display at London's Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. Researchers believe that a teenager or a slender woman wore it.

Painting for the People

MrKas likes to deconstruct an image and turn it into something unique. He’s into puzzle patterns right now and this is one of his most recent murals. He draws inspiration from people – their emotions, their lives, their stories. The Portuguese artist creates striking, thought-provoking art through a photorealistic technique that balances precision and creativity. He likes to paint on the street because it gives him a sense of freedom. No velvet ropes, no entrance fee. He’s painting for the chatty bus driver, the charismatic old guy and his cat, and the exhausted single mom who just needs a few seconds of “wow” in her day. MrKas’ work can be seen on many murals and he has been part of several international exhibitions all around the globe.

Anna Cazu’s art is a real treat for the eyes.

If you're looking for traditional museum pieces, you might want to look elsewhere. What started out as pen and paper doodles during Anna Casugbu ’s free time evolved into delightful paintings on canvas.

Artist Description: For Casugbu, art is an outlet for her to meditate and process her unresolved thoughts that tend to linger and exhaust herself mentally. By translating these spontaneous doodles onto a larger scale, not only does she make her internal world feel more real and valid but also infuses it with a playful, c...

I'm the type of person who likes to have an answer for everything. Why is Colnago so expensive? Why does my dog hate my neighbor? Why do I love the work of Dame Matibag ? The truth is, I can't intellectualize it. Sometimes, a piece of abstract art just hits, and you don't need a complicated explanation for it. It's not a puzzle to be solved with a pretentious essay or a mystery to be deciphered by experts with Ph.D. in art history. All you need to appreciate it is your intuition. Dame is a self-taught visual artist who started painting as a hobby and form of expression. Though she holds a business degree, painting remains her true passion. She uses her art to convey positivity, growth, and balance. Each piece reflects her personal journey, with the lines and textures illustrating resilience and beauty. Looking at a Dame's paintings silence my mind. I don't feel the need to analyze or search for a hidden message; there is just a deep, quiet sense of understanding...
