Junior Artistic Points of View..

Few days ago I decided to make some research about kids art. 

I strongly believe that kids ability to draw the world as they see it or invision it,

offers us a chance to remember how we used to see the world as chirdren, remember our childish dreams

and try, once more, to see the world from another perspective.

These drawings are made from chidren, age 6-14, for a competition under the title 

"2008  Kids Wildlife Art Competition", in the US.

"Plastic" Art by John Dahlsen

                 Plastics.    We use them daily...
                 Plastic bottles, bags, pens, hangers etc.
                John Dahlsen found another way to use our "wastes". 
                He collected plastics from the Australian beaches and created art 
                using a material that was uncommon to the artistic world.
                Paintings that do not comply to the usual but who could think that things like 
                a plastic bag or ropes could actually offer a variety of uses and colours?

Portraying Love

Few days ago I came across some of these photos. And instantly I thought that love has inspired

 thousands of artists and led them to express this feeling in various ways. And its the same feeling

that made me spend enough hours searching for photographs that portrayed love.

 That interpret love, understand love, capturing her into a single moment...

Walt Disney Christmas Cards

Since it's Christmas I decided to make a special contribution to them.

And really the first thing that came to my mind were these lovely

vintage cards with all my favorite disney figures.

So I wish you all Merry Christmas, lots and lots of joy

and playfull mood. 

And lets all remember how it feels to return to our childhood. 

At least that's what I did.

3D Street Art: where reality meets illusion.

I have to admit, street art it's not my thing. But when I see talent

I admire it. And these four artists have a unique talent.

With their alluring paintings, create depth and suddenly

a whole world jumps out a pavement, or a concrete floor.

Eduardo Relero

Eduardo Relero is a street artist working primarily in Spain.

His fanciful illustrative style looks like story board pages

come to life, and indeed its of his anamorphic sidewalk chalk

drawings seems to have a story behind it. 

Julian Beever

Julian Beever's world-renowned sidewalk chalk drawings

have been a viral hit all over internet, and it's easy to see why:

he's a master of anamorphic technique, which he's been perfecting 

since the mid 1990's.

Edgar Muller & Manfred Stader

Edgar Muller and Manfred Stader are a German team of street painters.

Much of their work is in the 3D anamorphic style, but both of them often

create traditional street paintings in a style that mimics the detail and realism

of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Kurt Wenner

Kurt Wenner's ability to transform Renaissance classicism into 3D

street art is unparalleled and has made him the most anamorphic

street painting artist of out time.

The Little Prince

One of my favorite books, it accompanied my childhood

and I got to admit my adulthood too.. Little Prince followed me everywhere,

he made me dream and it was him that brought my inspiration back.

Along with a Little Princess...

Le Petit Prince author and illustrator was Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

The novella was first published in 1943 and it is the most read

and the most translated book in the French language.

     The rose was inspired by his Salvadoran wife Consuelo de Saint-Exup 

and the smalll home planet by her small home country, El Salvador, which is also 

  known as "The Land of the Volcanoes" due to having many of them.
