Clay Sculptures We have flirted, shyly, with a notion of 3D (and 5D). With the fact that we exist in space that surrounds us, all around. Sculpture, representational or abstract, is fascinating for that exact reason – you have to walk around it to fully appreciate its position, expression and motion from all angles and […]
Alcohol ink paintings Embarking on ‘Art Garden’ collaboration, we explored and studied actual living gardens as well as potential artistic concepts suited for the project. Last year we indulged in flowing and transparent nature of alcohol inks; in ‘Art Garden’ we celebrated intensity of their coloration, boldness and energy of expression, modernity in exuberant compositions. […]
Alcohol ink paintings The idea was borne on a lazy summer day, after a refreshing swim, on Hung’s deck, while we explored her garden and ‘going back’ to alcohol inks after a long winter ‘ban’ – we use this medium outdoors only. Nothing starts without experimentations. Then, becomes a (temporary) obsession, a drive to execute […]
Large alcohol ink paintings The August studio workshop was focused on painting ‘Art Garden’. Enveloped in the tranquility of ‘Zen garden’. Waterfall murmuring in sink with our voices, hummingbirds feeding on monarda’s blooms, critters milling around in early rush for fall preparations, stone Budas sleeping peacefully in shadows of late summer flowering… Summer rain, refreshing, […]
Garden design and art ‘Canadian garden’ is a perpetual surprise! Great North, where conifers and taiga species dominate, yet unexpected lushness bursts in summer months along great lakes and coasts. Winter-hardy species are curios and unexpected in their short and showy seasonal displays. Some of Canadian gardens stand proudly ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with other world […]
Mixed media acrylic painting When I was young, budding writer (published a novel when I was 19) and painter, things seemed quite complicated, requiring a lot of philosophical pondering; transcending mathematical axioms to interpersonal and societal relationships was daunting and sparked heated discussions in my, similary inclined, circles. Yet, now, from a distance of years, […]
Photo tour of Western Balkans Today is Canada Day. Local fireworks have started. Too soon as expectations are difficult to subdue; you really need to wait until after 10 pm in the evening; here, in the Canadian capital, July 1st is almost a white night. With the sound of celebratory fire-crackers and colorful rockets in the […]
Photography, art history etc. Traveling photos are snapshots of an instant impression, attraction, moment…taken in passing without thinking or an effort to accomplish compositional balance or photographic perfection…they are very personal experience… yet sometimes they ‘transcend’ into an universal memory, a recognition of an archetypal place in our experience… Nothing much more to say…this is […]
…is easy Summertime descended upon us fast, as often is the case with Canadian season transitions…winter blues turns into a short spring bliss when everything grows at ‘5 inches a day rate’ and, in few short weeks, we are settled in full summer; bloom and nature lushness, surprising and abundant. There is an excitement about […]
Mixed media paintings Alter Ego runs deep in each person. We are rarely unidirectional. Rather a multitude. Whereas our previous Alter Ego session explored masks as (artistic) tool to assume different personalities, a desire to conceal or transform our identity, the true ‘alter ego’ resides within us on its own – no need for masks.
