Reflections...





soft pastel on top of acrylic and black ink










self -portrait on a reflective surface, I chose a spoon...well it was supposed to be...now looks more like a mirror..I usually plan what I want my final paint to be but once I start painting it is like I am entering another world and the painting takes its own course ..I just go with the flow...there is my reflexion and the little faces around me that I call my ghosts..there is also a book of spells ( my sketchbook) on the table (or space) a "magic book" as a fellow artist called it...

presentation day! Change and Transformation

Today we have our first presentation in front of the whole class since the start of the pre foundation in September/2013. We have only 5 minutes each to talk about our art, where the idea come from, our inspirations all in the theme of "Change and Transformaion".. and  afterwards the tutors would comment and the colleagues would give us their feedbacks.

I found the whole experience of seeing and listening to my other fellow colleagues amazing and inspiring, a mix of happiness, excitment and also I felt emotive at the times. It was nice to see beautiful, colourful, inspiring sketchbooks, lovely art work, the way people present their work and the way they see and other people see their work. The whole experince was just beautiful...but it was also quite tiring...was not much left of me once we finished the whole thing..

Some of the work bellow are not finished yet... still work in progress...




Finger painting on the top of a picture in the newspaper...nice one to try just dub your finger in some painting and go over a picture in the newspaper like this sport men bellow per example...



Amonsgt my work on the table are 2 sketchbooks...one for everything and a small one for printing only where I will try different types of printing ideas. I should at the end of the course publish the pages of my sketchbook..at the moment is not much there to show yet...
