I love Numeric Art, which flows easily from the depths of my imagination to the subtle brush strokes of my hands. It is something I do normally and I didn't know it was called as such..until a painter friend told me so.
This work is one of Maurice's work under the Numeric Art Gallery. There's just hidden dimensions under the colors that it seems to be morphing. The grid lines have caught my curious eyes...and still, I am trying to make some defined shape out of it. Or maybe, it's not meant to be defined.
I'm just impressed with his fighting spirit in challenging his disability...just for the sake of Art.

I remember writing a poetry with the same title and it is like de javu - only this time, my poem is captured by brush strokes. Mia is a new artist who can paint life into colors. I love the use of complementary hues and shades, subtly contrasting in its surreal form. Simple yet executed with grace. I may only assume that this is a self-portrait of a girl who will someday make her name in the artist's hall of fame. I can only look forward to it in the future.
More about the Artist:
MIA was born and raised in Los Angeles, and grew up watching cartoons and animated films, drawing, reading, and writing. She has long been fascinated by story and character, and the qualities that make people unique.
What is your Philosophy?
I believe that all individuals contain an entire universe within them. Her recent work strives to represent the unseen forces at work within the subject -- spirits, inner demons, conflicting emotions, and the imagination. The result is a surreal amalgam of imagery that weaves multiple layers of detail, endeavoring to represent the multi-faceted personalities of her characters, their complex identities, and their personal mythologies.
When I was a child, I had been so fascinated with stories on magical faeries with glowing butterfly wings. They are just beautiful, ethereal beings from lost stories that haunt my imagination...up to now.
Doug Beekman must have been lured by these magical beings in a picture of innocence and freedom. I love the way light is painted using Mixed Media, as if I can almost feel that ethereal glow in this sacred forest where they dance. Perhaps, the artist must have seen them for real. I may never know. The possibilities are endless and it's nice to have an open mind.

What is your Passion?
"Passion is key to my art. When I experience a strong internal sense evoked by a special place or visualized scene, then capturing and conveying that feeling becomes my goal. It’s an evocative quality that draws me to want to paint a given subject - out of the thousands of images I could put on canvas...that I want share with the person looking at it."
Last week had been full of surprises when I was so excited to open up this blog and start my first post. I thought now that I have a good motivation, I am going to a journey into the vast world of the unknown: Art.
There are so many artists and artworks out there and it was hard to choose the first inspiration that will have me writing on the right path... Until I stumbled upon a striking image of a woman that somehow reflects the way I feel right now.
Perhaps, I may not be in sync with what Amanda Sage have in mind when she painted this work, but I feel that the woman is torn apart by voices inside her head...which is so like me right now. It is like a world full of options with only one choice to make. I love the way how doubt is captured on that innocent-looking face... and from what doubts or sin she is torn apart, I may just wonder.
More about the Artist:
" My Art is a language, in which I converse with spirit, the world, myself and the people around me. Subliminal, whispering or screaming it is a guide if I allow it to be. It is my teacher as it patiently waits for me to listen… it is a journey that is endless, one that will help lead me to the awakening of my full potential. "
What is your dream?
" My dreams are vast and grand, reaching around the globe, and further, to touch, share and inspire as many creatures as possible to awaken to their inherent right to be creators of their lives and the world around them or us. "
