Look alike art.... so bored...

I was looking at ramdom webs and blogs and in this blog, I found this pianting. Im not sure if the the one who maneges the blog did it, or if it has a name. Couldn't understand. Can anyone tell me what language is it? Maybe turkish?

 I found a look alike for it.

A mix of Beavis and Butt-head (such and MTV classic that makes me wonder about teenage nonsense) with a higher percent of Butt-head.

Since I don't speak/write whatever language from east europe the blog is in, I also made up some titles for it.

1. Sad man

2. Worried man

3. Is that half can on the corner?

4. Pain on moments

5. Filosofical tought that in the end leads nowhere.

I thinks it's not painted on canvas, maybe it's painted on wall. It doesn't have a lot of harmony but the color helps and the hole thing is able to cause impact. Sad color only? I see yellows and reds...

IM NOT OLD FOR ANYTHING IF I REMEMBER THAT...

To all the spanish speakers that read this and feel down like I did , I invite you to read this article by Ivette Durán.

To rest of you, google can translate, I guess...

Hope you like it and since a non-graphic post can be disappointing enjoy with this piece by Matisse. The MoMA has opened an exhibition of his artwork.

Very experimental by the way.

I FEEL OLD

I'm 16, I'm not old. Right?
That's what I used to think until a couple of months ago a thought started to sward in my head, slowly, getting deeper every time.

This thought is About something I'm sure most people have asked their selves too.
What have I done during all this time I've been living?
Is it too little?
Is it all I can and could have done?
Is it enough for me to think my life made sense?

When I look back and see younger people succeed this thought gets stronger. It's like I've been doing nothing while other were imagining, creating, moving, understanding. I don't mean by this that I feel envy or underestimate what I do, and try to do. I ask my self if  am I doing something I will and do good. Or I am wasting my time and realising I threw away days , months and precious years of this short life I stared.
Should I keep doing what I believe is right? Many did and now they are immortal or at least heard. And many other...well I don't know what happened to those "others", is that choosing the wrong way?

I'm not sure if trying will assure me anything, and need to find the cure so I can eliminate the thought that boders me telling me I'm about to be and adult and what  I leave along my childhood is a small but very important part of my life inverted  in something else then following my dreams and needs. I hate thinking I wasted time because I cant go back in time.

Once again art is my comfort, and painters even some are gone, are the people in witch I reflect my self and thoughts into.

Throughout history, many artists we never given a chance to succeed or discovered late their talent or passion. And If you feel like sometime I have felt I invite you to read : I'M NOT OLD FOR ANYTHING IF I REMEMBER THAT... (coming soon)

Please, my intention is not to compare anybody with anyone, but to motivate my own self and who ever reads this to never stop doing anything because they think "it's late" or because somebody; doesn't matter if older or younger, does something you always wanted to.

Feels good to get it out.

Much Alphonse Mucha

Have you heard the name: Alphonse Mucha?
Probably thanks to Google you may have seen his style in its logo.
                  

If not, I'm sure that when you see this illustrations you will recognize the original technique and the wonderful color combination.

Born Czech, as a kid, like most artists he showed interest for drawing, later on he would work in theatrical or stage design. After changing jobs for a while and with the help of Count Kart Khuen, he entered The Academy of Fine Arts in Munch, developing all his talent. Like almost every artist he moved to Paris to keep studying. He reached worldwide fame with the artwork done for the superstar of the moment, actress Sarah Bernhardt.

Theatrical artwork for Renaissance Theater:

He created the Art noveau and renovated art and graphic design being a pioneer in applying art to advertising. And it is for those posters and billboards that he is known in all the world. You can see beyond beauty in his drawings and also elaborated detail that were the personal seal that many tried and try to imitate.

I resume his artwork with, beauty, elegance , color , ornamentation and symmetry.

Advertising artwork:

To me this artwork reminds me kind of an oriental style with all those details, but much softer. Everything fits in perfectly.

I can see how Mr. Mucha controlled anatomy , specially observing the movement crated with followed established curved lines and the fact that he uses what I call No shadowing; for lighter drawings. More :

After so much Mucha I've fallen in love with his style, I just wish adverting could be like this again...

Harlequin sitting in a cafe- Pablo Picasso

My version in a warmer color and less detail. I love the group of Picasso's paintings that are related to the circus.

Mengual

Probably you have paintings at home, probably posters or you aren't interested in nothing related to art and you don't know why you're reading this because nothing hangs on your wall. Either way you must know having an ''original piece'' is always better than anything, of course they cost a fortune and some (very few) are just completely incomprehensible (you can always put a poster, you pick the size and its costs infinitely less). Here is the little master piece I have at home, besides my own paintings (how arrogant MUAHAHA).

Don't know how its named but I really like the color. How did I get it? It was gift from the own painter to my dad, he was his doctor. Now its family heritage that is that same as saying my property.
PS: It doesn't match my living room but IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHY?
BECAUSE ITS AN ORIGINAL PIECE.

I'm honored to say i have an original art piece at home (because I have hundreds of posters...). Not many people have the chance to say that. This one is by Antonio Martínez Mengual.

Mengual, born in Murcia in 1948. Very famous and an outstanding painter of his generation, he has a predilection for intense colors and formless shapes for a result that recreates an intimate world.

Thanks to individual and collective art exhibitions his well known in his city and in Spain. He's in touch with other arts like cinema and theater. His also known as a very popular book illustrator. Here are examples of his original technique that shows plasticity and expression.

Cinema Art

You know it very well, films are a fantastic way of expression, but very much complicated then any other art, I mean technically. Anyway I been interested about film making y also producing but that's another story.

In school I singed up to a short film making activity, the only bad thing is that we had to talk about alcohol... and that restricted our creative ideas. I had great fun thought, and the short film its in its final process : editing.
Its kind of a homemade movie, but I guess the important thing is the message...( go ahead and laugh...I would too).

I'd like to go pro, or at least semipro. I really don't know enough to start a serious project, but in a future you will search me on YouTube, I bet that.
Here is an example of artistic film.

Probably too alternative... But everyone understands this their way, to everyone it has a different meaning, after all cinema is art. And... Andy...is Andy.
