A monoprint assembly Can a monochromatic ‘pallete’ replace the expressive and emotional impacts of colored paintings? I automatically reach for paint tubes, rarely thinking of ‘other ways’, my inner impulse. Yet, I stand in owe before Natasha’s and Hung’s black and white photos, moved, drawn in, mesmerized… I am who I am, have to listen […]
Still life paintings I have always wondered why this painting ‘genre’ is called ‘still life’ (in my mother tongue – ‘dead nature’ – literally)? The snippets of table arrangements, flowers in a window sill, fruits gathered in bowls, kitchen and dining ware are all equally lively as the ‘living’ nature, social scenes, faces or figures. […]
Mixed media figurative art New energy found in orange touches many facets of our lives and art – we expressed it in paintings of nature, in objects we created or enjoyed, in emotion- flooded abstract art. The last chapter of the Project Orange are faces and figures, expressed, as always, in a variety of mediums. […]
Gell print painting and drawing Printmaking, etching, graphic design – all are involved techniques allowing a limited number of repeat prints. Specialized branches of visual arts. Well, modernity and innovation (of materials, media, textures, resources), with omnipresent internet and YT, brought in a democratization. Techniques simplified, materials easy to use and affordable, acceptance of styles […]
The artwork depicts a mesmerizing surrealist scene evoking hues and lights of old masters – Théâtre D’opéra Spatial. It won a prize at the Colorado State Fair… Yet, it was generated by a generative AI, which transforms text cues into an elaborate graphic designs. Can it truly be a contender in an art competition? Against ‘flesh […]
Mixed media triptych While exploring connections among individuals and within communities, we recognized that connecting with inner self and with our ‘habitat’ is equally important. This mixed media triptych explores our inner ‘diversity’, our natural environment and our relation with it, as well as our place in the universe – an ultimate ‘habitat’. Finding the […]
Mixed media Early spring 2022 is a busy time – we are advancing with the ‘Connections’ project while simultaneously testing grounds with various media and ideas for BrainArt and other individual endeavors. We have installed a regular ‘Featured Artwork Weekly’ item in our weekly Programmes to share these ideas. Couple of slides, short explanation of […]
Mixed media Mixed media is a blast!. I imagine that it emerged when an artist, exploring the core medium to (personal) limits, felt compelled to reach for another to break out of limiting boundaries…and, in doing so, oppened up limitless possibilities. Today, there are no boundaries. Any combination of artistic media (and objects) is accepted […]
Pattern drawing Zentangle popped-up, unexpectedly, while we were engulfed in creating neurographics for the ‘Connections‘ project. Mostly because some pattern doodling into neurographic shapes could not be subdued by the prescribed neurographic ‘algorithm’. Zentangle is another type of meditative drawing that uses a mix of repeated shapes and patterns (tangles) – dots, lines, basic curves […]
A tribute to Ramon y Cahal It is suggested that the practice of neurographic drawing increases brain’s synaptic activity, neuronal connections and ‘regenerative’ processes (although there is no a single trace of scientific evidence for this contention). Nevertheless, it is not far fetched to think that it could contribute to a wellbeing and might be […]
