![]() One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which i prepare myself from scratch in the same way that the renaissance masters would have done. I often refer back to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. About the technique Each painting that I create is a unique dance with a variety of materials, unique to each work. Delicate graphite lines, a subtle oil color palette, ink and rice paper all amalgamate to create layer after layer a particularly dreamy look that distinguishes my work. This, besides having an apparent dark side, also embodies a sense of fragility and Vulnerability, which seems to be a consistent characteristic of my work. Organic elements are essential as they show us, like in a fairy tale, the link between the subconscious mind and the actual world. In my work I want to bring nature closer to the observer, to connect people with their roots and memories. Saatchi Art NFT artist #SaatchiArtNFTArtist #Fair Director's Pick Saatchi art ART on Paper 2022 New York City I have been always fascinated by nature, the behavior of animals, the way that flowers and plants grow and how we are a big part of it, the subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. Lately I was going around the idea that if pain would be possible to be painted how would it look like? This thought was in my mind over and over trying to give it shape and color. Repetition is also another important element to show that everything in this world is dual. Always using duality to show another side of our world and life. With this artwork I would like to invite people to think deeper and take a better look with open minds and with kind hearts, to be more connected with what we really are. We live in a society that is constantly judging, but most of the times based on what we see, the first impression of things is what counts. everything has two sides, but it is always subjective, always depending on how we look at things, circumstances and many other factors are impossible to know at first sight. Let´s begin with the idea of this world as "dual" light & darkness, good & evil beautiful & ugly. With an optical illusion the observer confuses what is real with what is not, creating an image that is completely surreal, full of magic and poetry. Billie Rea is a former burlesque dancer with an exquisite beauty her performance are full of elegance and charm. Mysterious women who are both glamorous and vulnerable at the same time. Do I think this should be used in every photo? No.Oil & Ink on canvas "Billie Rae" In this series of work I am exploring the concept of mixing nature with human anatomy. Do I think you should completely alter your appearance in a photo? No. But let’s be real, with digital photography and Photoshop, this happens all the time. I know, I know this is cheating.blah blah blah. Ever take a great photo only to realize someone in the photo (you), has a great big zit? Wish you could edit it out? You can.

Favorite feature: The time lapse and slow-motion feature.Īlright people, I am blowing the cover on this handy-dandy little app. You can create voice-overs and soundtrack your videos as well. You can combine several different videos, or play with just one. Oh the fun you can have with this app! Videoshop allows you to edit your videos in all sorts of fun ways. Roses from my hubby, turned in to a watercolor photo. Because of this, photos don’t get cut off by the Instagram square. Favorite feature: photos can be framed with different shaped borders. Afterlight lets you fine tune the lighting, temperature and much more. This is a great app if you like to manually adjust every aspect of your photos–i.e., if you are a control-freak, like me. Here are my very favorite photo-editing apps, and why. No matter what, your photo (if you take it and edit it yourself), will be original because it came from you. We all have our own style, so why not share the wealth of the innovative photo-editing apps that are out there. Here is the thing, everyone edits differently. Why? because I edit the sh*t out of my photos, and I have no shame in it. I plan to upgrade in the near future, but for now it does the trick. I am spilling the beans on my favorite editing apps, even the ones no one talks about. This is a truth that most of us know about, but rarely share with each other. What is the secret to taking a really good Instagram photo? Editing.
