“In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.” / – Paul Gauguin The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Vertere
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, / whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” / – Albert Einstein The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Flourish
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

Looking for and enjoying beauty is a way to nourish the soul. The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere. / – Matthew Fox The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Fractopia

“Life is a fractal in Hilbert space.” / - Rudy Rucker The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Metaphysical path
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? / And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven / and there plucked an strange and beautiful flower? / And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? / Ah, what then? / - Samuel Taylor Coleridge The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

Dawn
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

“I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses.” / – Helen Keller The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Samhain

Liqiu
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

“I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.” / - Lin Yutang The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Solstice
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

“Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated.” / – Auguste Rodin The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Glossy in substance
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

It is not in life, but in art that self-fulfillment is to be found. / – George E. Woodberry The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Rose
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you’ll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you’d rather die; You hope you’ve found that special rose, ‘Cause you love and care for the one you chose. / - Rob Cella The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Taffy

Simplistic
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful so compelling that when-in a decade, a century, a millennium—we grasp it, we will say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How can we have been so blind for so long? / – John Wheeler The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Vortex
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

Alternation
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

3D
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

I can’t tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten…. / - John Berger, “Miners,” exhibition catalogue, 1989; in “Keeping a Rendezvous,” 1992. The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Floralia
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

“The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee . . . gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.” / – Leonardo DaVinci The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Droplets
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

_“Out of the night that covers me, / Black as the Pit from pole to pole, / I thank whatever gods may be / For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance / I have not winced nor cried aloud. / Under the bludgeonings of chance / My head is bloody, but unbow’d. Beyond this place of wrath and tears / Lies but the horror of the shade, / And yet the menace of the years / Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, / How charged with punishments the scroll, / I am the master of my fate: / I am the captain of my soul.”_ / – William Ernest Henley, “Invictus”, 1875 The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Papier rosaire
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

In my prints I try to show that we live in a beautiful and orderly world and not in a chaos without norms, as we sometimes seem to. My subjects are also often playful. I cannot help mocking all our unwavering certainties. It is, for example, great fun deliberately to confuse two and three dimensions, the plane and space, or to poke fun at gravity. Are you sure that a floor cannot also be a ceiling? Are you absolutely certain that you go up when you walk up a staircase? Can you be definite that it is impossible to eat your cake and have it? / – M. C. (Maurits Cornelis) Escher, “On Being a Graphic Artist” The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Imago
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses – especially learn how to see. Realise that everything connects to everything else. / – Leonardo DaVinci The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
When stars burn out
by Vanessa V. Medeiros

It is sometimes said that the tragedy of an artist’s life is that he cannot realise his ideal. But the true tragedy that dogs the steps of most artists is that they realise their ideal too absolutely. For, when the ideal is realised, it is robbed of its wonder and its mystery, and becomes simply a new starting-point for an ideal that is other than itself. / – Oscar Wilde, from “Intentions” The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
