American-born Italian-based painter Paul Rooms does such beautiful, detailed work. These are from his nautical “Logbook” series. He also does opera, fairy tales and concept illustrations, all of them with puzzle-like intensity.
This is a very small selection of Rooms’ work. See more on Behance, here.

His work is magical! It’s easy to get taken in by them.
Another great word for his work, thanks Susan. One reaons I like his work so much is that it’s reminiscent of fairy-tale-ish illustration, but surpasses it with style and wit.
I’m with Ryanscrane – love the whimsy of these pieces. Lovely.
Whimsy, surrealist, you’re both right. He’s very talented. Thanks for the comment.
I love them!
Good, glad you found them. I love the detail and the colors.
It’s always nice to see more whimsically styled surrealist work. I like his take on the fruitbowl.
Yes, those bowls are really intriguing, I agree. Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts.
