FocusPocus-videoparadox goes Cuba

Our installation is selected in the 4th International Festival of Video Art, Camagüey 2011, Cuba. It seems to have an effect in many cultures. Maybe because (whilst doing it) I ended up dealing with the general questions of humanity that are common to us all, regarldess of culture and political country. That who seeks, shallContinue reading “FocusPocus-videoparadox goes Cuba”

New artwork

CloudZ. Clicking the image brings a bit larger view of the piece. Doing this, I ended up thinking about stereotypes, responsibility and social pressure, but it has elements and room for interpretation. It took some 10 intense painting sessions to get it where it is. It’s available in (insanely high resolution) physical format as well.Continue reading “New artwork”

Digital Art painted with an iPhone

This was my first painting I did using a nice little app, iDoodle Lite. I spent a good couple of hours in to it. Back then (spring 2010), there was an option to send it to Idoodles online Gallery, witch I did. I named it “The Portable Knot”. What do you see in it? TheContinue reading “Digital Art painted with an iPhone”

Who nose fear?

Click the image for a larger view. It ended up describing how violence and fighting smells like; Fear, Sweat, Aggression, Blood, Desperation… An image of surreal tendency. Sometimes I like to stop painting, when it doesn’t contribute to the content anymore. If you could describe the content of a piece verbally, why make an imageContinue reading “Who nose fear?”

The strokes must be done precisely, with just the right colour. The finished piece may look completely abstract on closer observation, but (if desired) photographic, when viewedContinue reading “Painting with oils:”
