AUTUMN GREEN WOOD - Lidija Ivanek SiLa

Green tree - Lidija Ivanek SiLa, www.silaart.com

Autumn is here and I made some panoramic photographs. We were walking through the woods of Gorski kotar (a mountain region in Croatia) and by the creeks and rivers. It was early in the morning, a bit cold, but the only time when I can experience nature.
At the time when noisy tourists arrived, we were heading back.

New photographs are offered for sale (check my shop page)

THE CANYON OF RIVER KRUPA - Croatian Artist Lidija Ivanek (SiLa)

"This is not for old people" – said our first neighbor when she saw us at home one day earlier than we've planed it.
I almost agreed with her. But almost.
We have planed to do a short trip to the Alps (Austria) during late June, but the weather conditions got so wrong, a lot of storms (unusual for this time of season) so we changed our plans and packed for the wider area of Velebit in our beautiful and full of contrast Croatia. The area that we were heading to, is a canyon area and in the beginning we planed to visit a couple of them in the same day.
Early rise up, at 4 AM, and of we left at 5 AM. Fully packed... SiLa Art Blog

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series) PART EIGHT

As a Christian and an Artist

We already observed that art is directly connected with the person who creates. As a person who is saved by Christ, my personality is changed, my visions are changed and my visual stimulus are changed. I love good and hate evil. Not that I do not know that evil is in the world to (it is all in the Bible btw.), but I hate evil and I do not want to be a part of it. I am not ... more on SiLa Art Photo Blog

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series) PART SEVEN

What about writing and sharing, me being a writer?

What about it. One thing about the definition of helping is that it means sharing what you have with others. I gained certain experience and knowledge while I am in the process of learning and I am willing to share that with you. As a kid, I once get a present from my mum, a hardbound notebook and I started to write my diary in it and I never stopped writing. That is part of creating. More on SiLa Art Photo Blog.

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series) PART SIX

Artist in business.

And there is that part of me being an artist in business. Well, I am that type of artist that sells my artwork and after all have a goal to be not just satisfied with the artworks I am creating, but to satisfy a circle of my artwork collectors with quality and beautiful art. I am (as an artist) a work in progress, but accent is on progress.

The business of art gives me a headache for quite sometime. I am not a novice ... more on SiLa Art Photo Blog

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series) PART FIVE

Then, there is that part of me being a woman, so I have different sensitivity on visual stimulus. My emotions are created differently and that is a positive thing that I will and am already using it in my artworks. Being a woman in art can only bring improvement in the artworld.

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series) PART FOUR

“The artist is a part of the artwork.”

It didn't happen till I understood that an artist is not defined by selling artworks or by the success in the art world. There are artists that create just for the view of their family, or for a narrow circle of friends, but they are still creating and they are artists.
What is talent?

As a novice, everything is wonderful and thrilling. I was surprised that I can paint, that I can create, that my photographs have good feedbacks from the audience. We all create for others as artists.

ESSAY: WHO AM I AS AN ARTIST (in series)

It was almost five years ago that I made the decision to become a full time artist, meaning that all of my working time I decided to solely dedicate to learn, create and sell art. What I have learned so far and how I have grown as an artist will be something that I will share with you in the essays that will follow.

"My goal is to create Fine Art Photographs. A Fine Art Photograph, is an image that is both artistically inspired and technically excellent. Just one or the other is not enough. Technique without art is cold and uninviting, while art without good technique prevents the viewer from truly enjoying the work.

For me a work of art is primarily the product of a person, not of a machine. For this reason, a photograph printed straight from the original capture, either film or digital is unsatisfying. Such an image represents the output of my camera rather than the expression of my emotions.

While, as a photographer, I can to some extent choose the type of light, composition, lens, equipment and other technical aspects of the image, I have very little control over the artistic aspects of my work during image capture.

To satisfy my creativity I need to work on my photographs after I complete the image capture. For me, the creative aspect of photography starts after the image has been recorded by the camera. It is then that I am able to infuse the image with the emotional content that I experienced while being at the location where I took the photograph." This is the beginning of Artist Statement from Alain Briot
and I find it very similar with my own experience, btw. I ordered two books from this artist, because I have read some reviews and some introductory pages and it might be worth having/reading it.

Ram Snuggled into Ewe, summer in the west, Dubois Ranch, limited ed fine art photographic prints by connie dines

This ram and ewe were curled up in the corral with the rest of the sheep as the sun was setting on
 a beautiful summer's eve at this old western ranch.  I love the abstracted
textures with the contrast of the hardness of the ram's horns.
