A cosmopolitan's short narratives.

“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

I like these dolls. If look nearer at their faces they look so natural. It must be a lot of meticulous and scrupulous job behind each doll. I admire the designer’s patience. Her each character is a one of a kind creation. Figures are hand sculpted individually from a polymer clay. The costumes are then designed and sewn.

This artist presents an interesting creation of lamps. Different fantasy shapes and forms of her design.

April W.Davis

from the Art festival in Ft. Lauderdale

The artist has many awards for her representation of nature. April tries to create a window into nature and bring an attention by her colorful work.
Something is eye-catching in her work. I perceive the artist's work as an image of a mixture photo and cartoon drawings.

And yet, these tropical paintings do look unnatural and abnormal in my observation  of nature. It would call it for surrealism. Maybe it was the point, to create “not natural” paintings of nature. Beatty is in the eye of the holder.




Pete

from the Art festival in Ft. Lauderdale

The artist called himself  “Pete” I don’t know the full name of the artist; he was not there at the moment when I was looking at his art.
These comical sculptures are suitable for outdoors and as a decoration in a garden. They look hilarious like there are escaped from same comedy play.

Metal wall sculptures. I this art require a lot of patience and time. Each individual piece is handmade.



All copper, brass, and verdigris sculptures are designed for indoor and outdoor use.

I like the sculptures, because of their simplicity and playfulness.
“The lady” looks at you with a jocose smile and she is just about to ask “Am I not pretty enough? What is the matter? Why you are not buying me?”.
Aren’t they cute?

The artists don’t have any website, so I don’t know much about their technique, but I can see that they use copper, brass and stainless.

Jeff Laibson

from the Art festival in Ft. Lauderdale

This artist loves a lot of music and all his paintings are inspired by jazz, classical, ethnic, rock and they follow the rhythm of the melody.
Laibson’s intention is to create an effect of a visual representation of the image improvised by sound of the music. I think the paintings are creative.


The materials used in the paintings are acrylic (and/or oil) paint, watercolor, dyes and charcoal on paper, canvas, drumheads, wood and primed material.
