Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde makes real clouds form inside of empty rooms!

You might think it would be bad luck for a raincloud to follow you around, and avoid being in one's vicinity.

But not for Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde, who actively seeks to create them.

As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining and Smilde’s have made him famous, quite literally taking the art world by storm.

 Rainman: Berndnaut Smilde creates clouds using a smoke machine, combined with indoor moisture and dramatic lighting to create an indoor cloud effect. This print is called Nimbus II, 2012 cloud in room

 Inspired: 'I imagined walking into a classical museum hall with just empty walls. There was nothing to see except for a rain cloud hanging around in the room,' Smilde said

Smilde, who lived in Amsterdam, said he wanted to make the image of a typical Dutch rain cloud, inside of a space. ‘I imagined walking into a classical museum hall with just empty walls,’ he said. 'There was nothing to see except for a rain cloud hanging around in the room.
‘I wanted to make a very clear image, an almost cliche and cartoon-like visualization of having bad luck. "Indeed there's nothing here and bullocks, it's starting to rain!"'
But the few people who have seen the clouds in person would consider themselves very lucky. Each cloud only exists for a moment before dissipating. The photograph, Smilde says, is a ‘document’, the only proof of its existence if a viewer misses it.
The first exhibit featuring indoor clouds, called Nimbus, was created by Smilde in 2010.
