Bustul din mozaic

February 27, 2013

Intr-o zi, acum cateva luni, am descoperit in fata apartamentului meu un bust de manechin parasit. Destinul sau era trist, asa ca l-am luat in casa cu gandul de a-I oferi o noua viata. Am vazut cateva proiecte de arta ce foloseau manechine parasite foarte dragute. Iata-l si pe al meu! Bustul pe care l-am […]

Some time ago, for the launch of a friend’s N.G.O. café, I came up with the party theme collection. Remember it? Well, recently I redid the Music painting in a different size and background color.

O foarte draga prietena s-a gandit sa-i ofere uneia dintre cele mai bune prietene ale ei un tablou drept cadou de ziua ei. Si pentru ca a vrut sa fie o surpiza speciala s-a gandit sa ii ofere un tablou personalizat din mozaic. Asa ca a apelat la mine. Am inceput, evident, cu Photosopul! Cui […]

A very dear friend though of giving one of her best friends a painting as a birthday present. And since she wanted to make it a special surprise, she thought to make it a mosaic personalized painting. So, she turned to me. I, in turn, have always wanted to try a Warhol-inspired mosaic.

Un Craciun mai putin traditional

December 25, 2012

Craciun fericit tuturor! Acest an, dupa ce am experimentat cu un brad de mozaic traditional, am abordat si stilul modern. Folosind aceleasi baze sub forma de con, am incercat o noua tehnica pe care am vrut mereu sa o abordez – joc multidimensional din bucati de mozaic. Aici este inainte de chit. Daca vreti sa […]

Not So Traditional Christmas

December 25, 2012

Merry Christmas everyone! This year, after the traditional approach to the mosaic Christmas tree, I tried a less traditional, more modern approach. Using the same Christmas cone bases, I tried a technique that I always wanted to experiment with – multidimensional mosaic play. Here it is without grout. If you want to stick to this shape you […]

Pacea este cea mai tare! Sunt destul de sigura ca intregul univers e de acord cu mine in legatura cu acest subiect. Din sacul meu de proiecte am ales manuta rock. Subiectul a fost decis demult; avea doar nevoie sa se nasca in forma materiala. Surpinzator, am inceput procesul crearii acestei lucrari chiar inainte de […]

Peace rocks! I’m quite sure the entire universe agrees with me on this one. From my bag of unfinished projects I chose the rock hand. The subject was long chosen; it just needed to be born in a material form. Amazingly, I started the process of giving it birth just before the latest torments appeared […]
