Another
really good artist is Sylvia Ji. A lot of people know her famous
skeleton women. She was born in 1982, a native of San Francisco.
Some of her painting is the symbolic reflections of herself. She currently resides in Southern California.
I
like her works because it is interesting to look at the beautiful women
with scary “makeup”. I like how she combines beauty and fear. I like
the emotions on the women’s faces (horror or evil). For me, the meaning
of her works is that having a beautiful or pretty face doesn’t mean that
people are beautiful inside.
For
example, look at the woman in the national dress with a pretty face and
unfriendly eyes. Maybe the signs on her face mean something. Let’s
think about it. The broken heart and tears could mean that her boyfriend
betrayed her or something and she cried a lot because of it. The spider
web could mean that she is like an insect in the web. Trapped.

My second favorite artist is Ryan Berkley. Ryan started drawing animal portraits in April of 2006 for the first Crafty Wonderland art and craft show in Portland.
I
like the comparison of people and animals. It is funny to compare the
animals and people and to think about reason of choosing animals for the
different kinds of people. This is because people and animals have very
similar emotions, behavior and looks. I also like the details of Ryan
Berkley’s works. For example, the scar on the tiger’s face. It helps me
to understand that character better. I think that he is really brave and
wise. What can you say about him?
Here you are some links for Ryan Berkley’s profile.
I
am going to present to you my favourite artist: Lora Zombie. She was
born in Russia in 1990. Her first serious works were similar to the
works of Jamie Hewlett, the creator of the images for the group
Gorillaz. She became popular really fast, and she had exhibitions in the
USA, UK and Russia. You can view her work on her Facebook page.
First thing that I like in her works is the ideas. For example, the picture “hero time is gone”.
To me the idea of this picture is that all heroes become old and
unpopular. Children stop copying them and people begin to forget them.
Another idea that I really like is in the picture of red riding hood with a gun in
her hands. This Little Red Riding Hood doesn’t look as helpless as in
the story. Even the wolf looks frightened. I think that the idea is that
even Red Riding Hood can be dangerous and strong.
I also like her manner of drawing (a lot of different colors, pretty a lot of details...). I
like to call this kind of drawing style modern Art, because she is
using very current ideas or details (for example: Converse on the
Batman). I learned a lot from her works. For example, I started to add dripping paint and to think more about using deeper ideas for my pictures.
Hi
everyone! I am Lika. I love Art very much. I like to draw my thoughts
and show some ideas. I love to look at different works to learn
something new from them. I think that Art is really an interesting and
exciting topic.
I
chose Art for my blog because I LOVE Art and I am interested in sharing
some information about it and seeing the work of others. Do you like
