About my Art – Watercolor, CGI and Photography.

I have been painting for many years, mainly with transparent watercolor on paper. Most of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people.
My self portrait
What Next
came forth(out of more than 70) in the Painters In Modern Times Group challenge,
Painted-Portraiture
-
I started using Computer Graphics mainly to set up virtual models and/or scenes which are then painted in watercolor. I now like create CG images as a final product as well since there are many elements that I can only create as computer images.

My recent image Her Happiness Bubble was selected as
Picture of The Day
by the creators of the software Vue.
-
The Bride and the Butterfly Hunter
was selected as ‘Featured Work” in the group Surrealism

Fighting Fury
Surplus to Requirements

were selected as ‘Featured Work” in the Art inspired by Dreams
-
I also Like photography, sometimes as reference material for my art but mainly to capture beautiful or unusual things I saw.

“I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.” Man Ray, modernist painter
