Art of the Day: "Emily - sitting" by Tin Odescalchi

“I painted this quickly, and let the paint flow in the initial wash, allowing it to drip and do what paint does. The initial wash worked so well I left the rest of the canvas blank, save for the nude. When I paint, I want the paint to 'speak' for itself; how it flows, how it mixes, what is overlaid with what. The way the paint is applied is almost as important as the image. I use colour to get a 3D effect, and the lighting of the nude is crucially important to give atmosphere.”

"Carpathians, Summer morning, 2015" by Aleksandr Kryushyn

I'm impressed by the fresh mountain air and bright colours of the Carpathian Mountains! A bright sunny morning in June in a mountain village. Alexander Kriushin is works in the traditions of the European school of fine arts, combined with the southern temperament of execution. The artist travels a lot and works en plein air, but often a plain etude is just an excuse for further work, and then the work begins in the studio.

"Awareness, 2017" by Suzana Dzelatovic

With this painting, I tried to illustrate my meditative state of mind. Gold and everything that shines and has worth are inside us. We must close our eyes to see things clearly and to find our inner treasure. Original acrylic painting. Signed on the front. Unique and one of a kind with a certificate of authenticity.
