INTRODUCING YAARI
Hello Steemit community!
This is my first post here so please be nice :)
- Thanks to @samstonehill for introducing me to Steemit.
I have lived a long and eventful life and it is my pleasure to share it with you here.
Based now in Bali, I create art every day at my Ubud studio .
What are my preferred mediums?
- Multi media combined with hand finished painting
- Acrylic on canvas
- Pen & ink on paper
- Fabric for fashion & interior
- The human skin
- Watercolour
Body Painting
Body painting is something very close to my heart as a means of cleansing one's soul. I started body painting back in the 70s with a system I called 'Art Release' and have since then developed my own method of healing through co-creativity. I do not create alone, like many artists today. I create as a group.... as you can see below.
Here you can see @samstonehill and his family & friends getting involved in a body painting session.
After which this huge piece was created as the result of our co-creativity.
I like to make a statement out of every image which defines the time and story of my life, and in time you will come to understand & appreciate who I am as we get to know each other.
These images are inspired by the co-creativity that I so much want to share with the world.
The limited edition poster you can see above was created for the celebrity art auction in support of the Paralympic Games, Sydney 2000

My Past
I have spent my entire life as an artist and want to say this to the other artists out there:
Never give up on your dreams because art is the most important process of life!
There is so much to tell you about my history, it's hard to know where to start.
Here are some of the various articles written about me over the years.
I was born at UCLA Medical Centre, Westwood CA. And since then I have been a citizen of the world! I have sold to some of the largest collectors around the world.
Every day I create. And I work on multiple pieces at the same time.
Art is not about how long it takes to finish. It is about the quality of the work.
Sometimes art just happens spontaneously in a matter of moments.
The Digital Years
In recent years my art has evolved into the world of digital creation. Thank you Photoshop! I now spend endless hours at my computer creating in a way that was not available to me back when I first dedicated my life to art.
I would like to share with you honestly here on Steemit about my experiences with hallucinogenics & marijuana which have helped me open up many doors to a greater lever of creativity.
Fashion
My fashion works began appearing in the late 60s and continue to inspire to this day.
Property & Interiors
I have designed many projects around the world dealing with architecture & landscapes. The film below is an example of my recent work in Bali.
I design both exterior and interior.
Everything in my life is about creativity.
@samstonehill is currently making a documentary about my life which I hope we will be able to show you here. At the very least there will soon be a sneak preview trailer coming soon.
To read about me from the perspective of @samstonehill check his post here: https://steemit.com/art/@samstonehill/what-have-i-learned-from-living-with-a-famous-bali-artist
So, thank you my new Steemit friends for taking the time to read this.
My Intention
Each day I will post a new creation for you here as a Steemit exclusive, accompanied by my words to inspire you in your own process of creation.
Please upvote & follow if you like what you see here.
Many thanks again.

Great result for a great article and art :-)
Lol. You got the system fast my friend.
Thanks for the creation of a the win-win :-)
Many thanks for your comments. Yes, I love that it is win-win for everyone involved :) Couldn't have done this post without the help of @samstonehill however. He seems to know the system pretty well.
Beautiful work, congratulations! Welcome.
Many thanks for your comment. I have followed you back :)
Welcome to steemit!
Many thanks for your kind welcome. Followed back :) I look forward to dazzling you further with daily posts of original thoughts & creativity.
@yaariart welcome to Steemit
so we'll be seeing much art
I wish you a great Steemin' journey and maybe tag this semi-nsfw , yes, you could still edit your tag.
Good luck
many thanks. Just tried that :)
@yariart you're welcome :)
what does nsfw mean by the way???
nsfw ( not safe for work ) means adult content.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. Though there is clearly a big difference between pornographic adult content and artistic adult content. What we see here seems pretty 'safe for work' to me. Are there any guidelines on nudity here on Steemit?
@samstonehill adult content - like naked bodies or naked, sex the fw I have no idea - if it's not advisable to be seen by kids who are using steemit - use that tag cause we're public. I saw breasts here - it's art and for me that's normal I don't find it weird or whatever but we have kids - users as young as 6 to 13 boys and girls :)
Understood. Thank you :)
