The Green Fields of Love Somewhere Far - office art by @mariandavp

in #art7 years ago

I am not sure what to write about today's office art. It is a mix of emotions and tendencies and techniques I use to express them.

Partly figurative, partly landscape, partly surreal, illusions and double images they all play. Is it a scene between a couple that kisses during a sunset and looking over a small village? Or are the mountains that kiss as they meet under the sunset? Or maybe it's not a sun but a bird that flies over the fields and a small village?

Classic me, I didn't surprise myself on my drawing means... pens and highlighters... am I becoming a bore? Maybe am just going through this phase. We'll see.

Below a few photos from the process

I love the colors!

I see lovers kissing as their town and countryside succumbs to a vicious volcanic eruption!....

Very passionate 😊😉 I like that! Thanks

Wonderful art great sharing i like it and resteemed.

Thank you very much!!

My pleasure.

I really love your work, have you tried oil paint before? I would love to see one of your drawings on canvas :)

Thank you very much! I m mostly painting on canvas but I use acrylics 😊

I have worked with both and they both have their ups and downs.
Acrylics dry way faster, but with oil you can keep messing around.
Is there a place/website where I could buy your artwork?

Great post . Check out mine if you have time !:)

Wow, I wish I could draw and paint like that.

That's very sweet @team101 😘

Boring hell no this is brilliant I see the couple kissing over the village with the sunset in the back. How long did it take you to draw this there is a lot of detail? Your choice of colour scheme brings it to life though. You are very talented don't under estimate your gift; you must push it to its true potential. I don't have a office but if I did I wish I had a piece like this hanging. Great post 🙏

What a flattering comment 😊 Thank you so much! It took me around 3 hours gross but I was multitasking during that time. My office artworks are usually performed quite fast...

I would have guessed like 2 weeks; your very talented keep going. Like when your about to start where do you get your ideas from or what inspires you?? Like your pieces remind me of like Andy Warhol for some reason!🙏

Maybe because the colors are a bit poppy... what inspires me? To be honest when I begin to paint on a canvas I may have or may not have an idea of what I want to do, but when it comes to office art I never know what it will look like in the end. I let the initial scene develop and then I start making concious choises. My inspiration comes mosy likely from the last thing that affected my emotion. It may be a song I heard earlier, a discussion with a colleague, a memory that came back, a dream... I don't really know exactly 😐

That's awesome most good, creative, an mind blowing art is created from emotions like that's the essence of it all. To find something deep inside of you, and bring certain visions to reality that's a gift. A lot of people have lost the sense of originality to just build from feelings. That's good you got that 🙏do you ever use pastel?

What a wonderful comment, thank you so much! To be honest I haven't tried pastels since I was 10. Maybe because I sucked at it.. 😂

You think for one of your next pieces you could use pastel for me. I think those surreal pictures you get from the pastel would be dope. Plus you never know it could come out sick 🙏🙏

-:) very nice

Many thanks!!

You have so many great drawings that really express the creativity of your mind. That's one thing I love about art. It doesn't only show the physical objects, but also the mental objects in our mind such as feeling, personality, emotion, all into one canvas for all to see :)

That's what I love about art too...thank you very much @cryptodata for your kind words!

This is a good metaphor!

Lovely! Lovers kissing. Beautiful.

Absolutely amazing! I wish i could draw 1% as good as that!

Thank you very much! I'm sure you can just need some practice!

I see a butterfly rising from the the village. Two souls united by desire, passionately eloping and being carried away by their love towards the flame of inifinite possibilities…

You are a poet @cupid!

Thanks @mariandavp. I like to sing too. I posted a song I wrote with my lyrics/poetry in my first post on steemit. I just joined recently. I never looked at my lyrics as poetry!

That's great, I followed you... will keep an eye on what you do!

You're an artist @mariandavp!

Wow,
This is all over awesome.

Thank you very much @monishm!!

I wish I was as talented as you.
This is beautiful

Thank you... but I am sure you also have a talent that everyone else would wish to have.

my talent is that I envy other people's talents? haha

Haha maybe, but maybe you just haven't discovered it yet.

Beautiful. Just as unique as the others.

Thank you very much for your support @thetimminator

waw.. amazing art

Thank you!

Oh it's a kissing couple. I thought it's a giant tortoise being kissed by a girl :b
Oh wait it's a man on the right :D

I did watch Ninja Turtles A LOT when I was a kid...lol

But.. look carefully.. Bottom part of girls face is clearly a turtle! So from now on let it be a love story of a man and a turtle!
You know turtles want love too :((

Hahahahahahaha

Not funnyyh. You make turtles saad :(

I think in the center houses from Lisbon) Will you go to steemfest 2? ... my wife ... ahah)

Hehe of course I will go!! Can't miss our anniversary!

Wow, looks amazing !
Followed !

Many many thanks!!

I think it's great to have such artworks sometimes where one doesn't have an exact explanation for it. It just comes out naturally! :)

I think it also empowers the viewer to make it his own through a personal interpretation!

Yes definitely! So many versions of an art piece!

Wow,
This is all over awesome.J

Thank you @monishm! Glad you like it!

I like to think that it is a giant bird

I like this thought as well!

Great Post! I will def follow your blog. Please also check mine out. I live in Hangzhou China and I blog about my life here :)

You're Greek, right? I was wondering why Greek villages are so "concentrated" like in the painting. I mean there are no roads and all the houses almost look the same.
When I visited Greece I was stunned by the architecture, it really looks amazing!

I think we wanted to be close to one another. Also it depends the areas as well. The original architecture of the villages on the mountains of the islands was such that they won't be visible from the sea to avoid pirate attacks!

After all, it's beautiful to see original architecture and concepts still in place!

I love this picture, have a thousand of meaning.
Great job.
Followed :)

Thank you very much @pertiqoues!

Your art is as beautiful as you!

Aw I think I just melted on my screen. And now I feel guilty because I realized I'm so vain.

You are multitalented, even without the looks, your bring a lot of value through your creativity!

Ι prefer that way, thank you thank you thank you 😘😘😘😘

Nice artwork! Would you check out my last post, it's uploads of my graffiti black book from when I was 13. ☺️

you're certainly not a bore :) i see elements of nature - the earth and fire passionate as the world watches
