Van Gogh’s "Starry Night" – With Gears as Stars!Look up at the sky—does it remind you of swirling blue and yellow brushstrokes? That’s because it’s inspired by Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh!

Jeff Koons' Blue Balloon Dog – Stacked on two canvases leaning against Artisia’s easel, you’ll spot Jeff Koons’ famous Blue Balloon Dog! Koons creates playful, shiny sculptures that look like giant balloons. His art is all about fun and making everyday objects into something amazing!

Klimt’s "Tree of Life" – An Actual Tree in ArtLandia!Off in the distance, you’ll see a swirling golden tree, just like Gustav Klimt’s Tree of Life.

Keith Haring’s Hidden Basket Surprise! – Peek inside the basket on the porch of Artisia’s home. What do you see? It’s a hidden treasure—Keith Haring’s Three Eyes and Smile on Pink!

Gaudí’s Mosaic and Checkered Path – Look at the walls of Artisia’s house—you’ll see a beautiful blue mosaic design and a black-and-white checkered path. These are inspired by Antoni Gaudí, a famous architect from Spain who designed colorful, magical buildings that look like they belong in a fairy tale!
Monet’s Lily Pond and Bridge – Hidden in the landscape, blending seamlessly into ArtLandia, is a peaceful lily pond with a little bridge—just like Claude Monet’s famous Water Lilies paintings!
