Touch The Fine Art

Inspiration EXISTS. But it has to find you working. - Pablo Picasso

“Afterglow”

[Meanwhile in swiss alps.]

Almost every day I wake up two hours earlier to paint/draw before I head to work. To keep the flow of my creativity going. 

Time well wasted.

This drawing wouldn’t happen if there wouldn’t be Nick Brandt - Mr. Photographer. His book - On This Earth, A Shadow Falls - is absolutely mesmerizing. Be sure to check his work: www.nickbrandt.com 

Things I've learned today:

Adore the present moment. Be here now, for that's what matters most.

Hello World.

This is my lovely sister with a painting I did for her last Christmass.

How hard it is to get an idea? Well, sometimes harder and sometimes it comes super easily.

But how hard it is to persist in what you’ve chosen to be your thing?

Don’t worry when it’s getting darker. Because The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. - words came out by Duncan Riffle.

So who you really are?

The Hawk

This is Veronika. 

Veronika is a model, traveler, a real inspiration and my best friend since ever.

I decided to draw her a realistic portrait with a touch of my fantasy.

  And the result? 

Phenomenal! 

Not everyone would spot it but there's the perfect equilibrium, the balance of both of us. Something only we are able to recognize - the confidence. 

A little tension and liberation.

This portrait hides my emotions and tells a story of our amazing friendship.

 I'm happy to have such a great friend because friendship is an essence of life.

My sister loves our little dog we've found on a street back in 2005. Now, she moved out of our home and couldn't take him with her. 

A heart-breaking moment.

It touched me, too. So I did this painting for her to be with him every day, no matter what country she lives in. 

I've given a piece of my talent to fill a hole in her heart. 

"Basty in Prague"

#1 Book that blew me away this year - Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton. I see Brandon as a great photographer and a briliant story teller who has chosen to be different. 

He shoots people's heads but he aims for their hearts. 

Make yourself a favor and get the book. Don't forget to give this project a follow - Humans Of New York - 

Because Dreams Ain't Coming True For Christmas.

Based on an idea originally by Bartholomew Cubbins. After some time it simply turned into a funny side project.

This is the number V. Because dreams ain't coming true for christmas. If you want something you have to work hard to make it happen. 

Simlply like that.

No Excuses.

No Complains.

See the first four paintings down.

All of them are done with acrylic colors on 300mg Fabriano paper.

All I want for Christmass is the gift of Silence for everyone.

That people would realize that being silent is not a crime, and it's all right to not to comment everything or have an opinion about everything. 

Thank you.

Mimi

PS: And maybe a little bit less of greed, too. 

"Silence is a gift. Learn to value its essence." - Unknown

People like to bring up your past when your present and future looks better than theirs.

Why people gossip? 

Out of boredom? 

Out of envy? 

To feel superior? 

I don't know. I just know that I don't need these petty,

small minded people in my life.

Choose wisely.

Always be a Unicorn.

Unless you can be yourself.

Then always be yourself.

Posting from new home tonight. I moved to keep the creative juices going. And the feelings? A little fear, satisfaction, joy, uneasiness and - and what? It’s a perfect mixture that doesn’t let me think I’m a genius but drives me to do some more. More of what I love.

"The Tripping Is Over"

acrylic on canvas - 70x70 cm (27.6' x 27.6')  

Everything happens for a reason, right? You might not see it now, but do you remember what Steve Jobs said about connecting the dots?

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."

I started this drawing after my right hand plastic surgery back in August this year. I'm a right hander, so you can imagine how hard it was for me to get out of the blue after it. Okay, the surgery wasn't unexpected, but jeez, how unprepared I was!

It was a long, difficult struggle and I badly needed some bright colors in my life. 

What happened was, that I took a pencil into my left hand and have become unstoppable. As time flew, the wounds have healed the nails went out and - I was able to sign this project with my right hand again.

Strong and motivated as never before. 

So CHIN UP PRINCESS.

The sun will shine again.

  It's a drawing on 50x70 cm (19.5' x 27.5') Fabriano hot pressed paper. I used 6B, 8B pencils, micropencil and watercolor pencils.
