When you hear about the art competition that you would love to be a part of and you do not have a time to paint a painting could be frustrating. I see it as a great challenge that brings to the surface ways to artistically reveal my persona that would otherwise be locked in and never expressed in a new and innovative ways.
While painting for “Human Figure” Federation of Canadian Artists exhibit I felt freedom, lightness and excited feeling while quickly moving paint and ink across a canvas. Few fast strokes with a pen and ink forming details of a model’s face felt very good. All that excitement and emotions are transformed into the physicality of the materials used where they radiate its passion of creation. That creative energy could be felt in any art form. The more passionate artist is towards his art while creating more people are attracted and “hypnotized” by it.
Sooo, Art is not only what you see materially present in form of shapes, volumes, movement, light, colour, texture… If you become sensitive enough and tune in for the full presentation, you will experience artist himself with all his emotional and passionate world of creation. That is why simple line on a canvas could look the same physically but would carry the power of its creator, thus regarded, maybe, as a work of a genius.

You could see here the effect I got through applying acrylic ink with art pen and changing the appearance of oil painting I did years ago. While holding the pen and dipping it in ink and moving it swiftly over the shinny surface of the oil paint I felt freedom of expression and gratitude that I am limitless. Some feelings are hard to put into the words and you have to connect here on a more subtle way. We all have to become more sensitive to the vibrations our thoughts and emotions are floating in. We are connected to the ocean of emotional ether that permeates all of us, offering the opportunity for the new insights and deeper meaning of life.
Have an insightful day,
Atza

Everybody loves flowers and what about flowers in Venice? Nature made sure that this world is overloaded with beautiful imagery. Flowers take a big part in that “picture”.
Human mind works through pictures and it’s capable of producing images on its own. Everything created in one’s mind creates energy vibration of certain value. That vibration communicates with the world around us. If we imagine flowers or had even faint thought about them, we are bound to have experience about flowers in some form. Try that idea on your own right away: Do you remember if recently you had a thought, of any kind, about flowers? Your level of experience of flowers depends on how deep you went with creation in your mind. If you were detailed enough, sensed fragrance and texture of the petals, saw vivid colors and used all your senses coupled with the emotion, in your mind, then you will have same or similar flowers in your hands in very short period of time. If you had just faint thought about the flowers then one of the possible experiences will be seeing an image of the flowers on the website on the internet, like here. You are looking at the multimedia painting “Flowers in Venice” created in oil on canvas and acrylic ink and pen. NOW, because we are capable of producing images and emotions at will (free will, hmmm), apply this creative process in your mind (image) and heart (emotion) for everything in your life. Life is a play, so play with it!
With flowers,
Atza

Giftworks and Pizazz Four Artists Exhibition
Well, dear friends, every day we live is a miracle. Why? Because we cannot avoid our own creation abilities. We create every moment of our lives whether we know it or not. We all usually create by default. Our habitual thoughts and believes run by the subconscious mind create same life over and over, until we consciously use our power the right way. Looking at the world through our heart and then choosing the thoughts and feelings consciously makes all the difference and the world becomes what we always dreamed of. I am choosing this words and I am choosing the sketch of “Horseshoe Bay #1″ to present here and that is my creative process…
Love,
Atza

This is Vancouver’s Steam Clock Painting. Perspective shows Starbucks on the right and North Vancouver and Seymour Mountain in the background in the middle, behind the Steam Clock. Scenes like this open a door inside my world towards the moments I am very present and aware. Scene become frozen and carry vibration that could be felt if you are sensitive and drawn to the art piece. Well, happy feeling…
Is beauty important in our life? I think it is!!! I realized few days ago when watching 25 years worth of photographs in slide show I assembled (Nadja’s and my anniversary) that some of my, highly acclaimed, interests towards beauty in life, art, design etc. were changed and watered down with all the extra information (I did not filter) I allowed to enter into my experience. Beauty is of course individual, personal experience that we should cherish and cultivate to be able to see it and enjoy it in our life. Beauty is everywhere, but when we see it and acknowledge the existence and our awareness of it, we bring more and more of beautiful scenes, people, art, etc. into our experience. We become abundant with inspiration for others as well, which is another beautiful purpose for existence…
So, to focus what you allow to enter into your life is very important. My advice is to choose well (You have the right!) and focus on beauty that tickles your heart.
Love,
Atza (Alexander V)

Here is last painting of four that I did on small format 20 x 20 cm (8″x8″), 10 cm (4″) deep canvas, so they look like boxes. 3D feeling and working around the canvas was fun and visually, story goes on to tell us more than regular canvas. If you focus on these boxes it seems somebody is leading you by hand to explore more and understand better scenery depicted. I found that, because you can’t see whole image, because you have to look around the canvas, you get more involved and you have to remember how the side you can’t see looks like. It is similar feeling to experiencing sculpture, mobile or installation art. Being able to display canvas boxes freestanding, not just on the wall, brings more functional application as well.
Don’t forget creative thoughts, complimenting others, sharing ideas and inspiring others all contribute to changed world that we want to live in. Every person makes a difference and could lead this world into amazing future. Just feel the moment (of creation) and stay within for a while.
Love,
Atza
