Art of the Day: "Sunflowers In Vase, 2010" by Leon Sarantos

“In this contemporary painting, yellow and gold sunflowers burst onto the canvas in a heavily textured still life. The texture was created by adding pumice from lava rock to the oil paints. I am honored that Michael Kaysen - a museum specialist at the Art Institute of Chicago - selected this painting for a national exhibit, Artistic License, at Studio 659 in Indiana. The painting is part of a series in which I combine realism with elements of abstract patterns.”

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.
