Art knows no boundary, language nor definite rules. Anyone with innate talent, determination, imagination and creativity can create a masterpiece of any sorts. Contrary to what most people believe, art is not restricted to just drawings and paintings. Anything created with imagination and oodles of creativity can be deemed as art. For example, even a childâs scribbling can be considered art for his parents. In this world where talent can be found in abundance, some are blessed with a sense of making extraordinary creations of art from ordinary things that would otherwise be considered junk. Here are 10 most remarkable works of art.
