My inspiration for this piece was Viva La Vida by Coldplay I tried to capture what I feel when I listen to this song which I found so hard to do than any other song I’ve drawn out. There’s just something so inspirational about this song that I find hard to capture in color; but I hope I was able to convey the joy or beauty of life somehow. Listen to the song if you haven’t! It’s awesome! / Here’s my favorite part of the lyrics: One minute I held the key / Next the walls were closed on me / And I discovered that my castles stand / Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing / Roman Cavalry choirs are singing / Be my mirror my sword and shield / My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain / Once you go, there was never, never an honest word / That was when I ruled the world It was the wicked and wild wind / Blew down the doors to let me in / Shattered windows and the sound of drums / People couldn’t believe what I’d become…... Painting is done in Watercolor.
“This leopard mother with her two juvenile sons were sleeping their siesta. Lazily lying on a rock, they naturally composed by themselves a pretty collage. Each individual bears a unique pattern in different hues. / / Their bodies aligned in a way that formed a triangle among them. The spots are unique in their shape and design, creating all together a puzzle of sheer beauty.” / / ============================================================= / All proceeds from the sale of this piece of artwork will be donated to the Snow Leopard Trust. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Carmen, creator of Art for Conservation
“She lay quietly among other flowers. As if unaware of her intense beauty, she humbly shared a crowded stand in a farm. She whispered by my ear and I turned. My eyes were filled with her regal colours as my heart halted. Her glowing face nodded at me. / / I indulged myself in the contemplation of her sheer beauty, her intricate face, her lovely petals and her delicate patterns. I wondered whether she was missing the feeling of warm damp soil, the company of foliage and the caress of misty rain”. / / / During my travels in Thailand and Cambodia, I reveled in the extraordinary and fragile beauty of the Orchid. A large-scale illegal trade and other threats decimate their environment. / / Currently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCNR) list 100 Orchid species in status from vulnerable to critically endangered. / / / Image © Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo / / / —-—-—-—-— / Artist statement / My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens.

Something girly and cute. My grandmother suggested I try doing some softer girl designs, but I couldn’t think of anything so I went through some of my art to see if I had anything. I didn’t have very much! But I found this recent work I did and decided she might be cute enough for something. :) Her name is Vida, and she is part of a “Life and Death” story I’ve been tinkering with. I’m sorry that her skin’s a bit botched. :< Also – the bottom design is courtesy of default custom shapes. /lovelove
