Birth of the artist

I like coffee (black and without sugar) Therefore its overspill was like an intimate bereavement. The splodge captivated me, tacked my eyes to the table. The spillage looked so attractively, thus I took a photo and...discovered myself in the picture. The last made the dirty table into the artwork – the scruff became the artist.

Survivor

The Survivor - according to Tomas Karkalas

The pictures should look beautifully, and this shot was such in its original state. Yet I stumbled upon my own shadow. My identification attempts changed the purity of the nature into the challenge of the flower. The artwork was made.
While listening to insights, my visions obtained the words and the colors received the need to respond- the need to quit the silence was produced.
Though some wrinkles on the surface appeared, but beauty of the flower was fortified - not something that wither up, but the survivor looks at you from the canvas now.

last leaflet

I love this last leaflet, yet it is not so dark in my room in spite of the warning world news.
I don't want to know what I factually am (what I could be according to what I should be) and that's no wonder - the key to that riddle is my status (the diagnosed as ...unfit to any in this life -the disabler-the dependent) So I am the professional of hiding from oneself already for a long.
I apologize for such dark information, yet that's my diary, and secondly, that painful truth explains my love to the last leaflet.
I would like to hear your mind, yet have I the right to ask for comments? I can just to think you wouldn't throw away the above photo sketch - the picture of what's under the beautiful mask.

hidden in a leaflet

digital painting Hidden in a Leaflet by Tomas Karkalas 2011

It was easy to take a photo. It was lovely and interesting to transform the shot into the painting. I had a good time then. Therefore the questioning of the meaning of my 'creativity' should look the needless now, because it is the obvious. And that is sorrowful:  I ought to confess that while creating there were no wise thoughts (I didn't worry about any high ideas) experienced just joy to sit in an awe. That forces me to choose now either honestly voice the above truth or to dive into the philosophy...The description of any image always puts such test of personal openness, and that just can't be the meaningless. So let's look at the picture once again. Did you sense yourself in the story of the artwork 'hidden in a leaflet'?

lesson of the fall

I love the hospital. It gives us lots of time to rethink all our deeds, to revalue all achievements. In my case, it was great indeed to thumb  through the sketchbook without any need to pick up anything in the concrete. Such way I re-discovered the above photo. What was just a shot  started to talk - caught me unawares. The colorful leaves will turn into the compost heap and feed the earth - they will nurture the forthcoming new day. The artworks can only to dream about such perspective....
Each time I put down my paintbrush (or camera - the sketchbook) the artist transforms into the viewer and turns the common lectures of the art critic upside-down. Such way I stopped counting my already arranged exhibitions and bowed to the nurse that enabled me to take a sip of fresh air once again.

blind shot

This blind shot rescued me from any prejudices and thus enabled to rejoice over the freedom of the light I am glad to share with you now.
The above picture reflected my daily encounters (talked eloquently about the possibilities of the disabler who lives below poverty line) and that didn't allure. Yet the bad weather in the picture didn't threaten but awakened. I rejoiced not at my handicrafts but the freshness of the air. That was the healing experience indeed. While the artworks need the promotion and the poor sketches has no chance to succeed in the market, the light requests just our willingness to accept her and thus uplifts our eyes and fills with the gratitude,

why do I love the abstract emotional expressions?

digital painting 'emotional expressions' 2011 by Tomas Karkalas

abstracts deal with the emotions and the current events are rich with the passion. Therefore I love the style of emotional expressions (the abstract painting) as one that reflects today's world the best.
Plus the abstract artworks are very helpful - serves us not only as the art mirrors but the good whip too. Just think. It is easy to recognize lots of various figures (everything you just dream about) in the above picture, yet it is impossible  to enjoy any shape in the concrete. So the impossibility to rejoice over the eyesight prevents us from focusing on the flat art surface and thus turns us from our handiworks to people next to us (next to me) - Hello my dear friends! We all know well that the same God's Spirit indwells in us all, yet is it possible to illustrate above with TV news? So the reality becomes doubly confusing and we would be inescapably lost if not the Bible which answers all confusions... Such way while preparing to go to hospital I'm filled with the divine peace and wish just one - wish to share my riches (God's blessing) with you too.

Tomorrow will start Top Sites Tuesday, yet let me jump over the time (to start Tuesday on Monday) because of my total unawareness of what will be next minute. So to speak, the bodily health resists the spirit, edit her movement.

artistic standpoint

While thinking about my weary endurance, I named the above picture the artistic standpoint. The smile marks such viewpoint and always rewards with the nice feedbacks. People long for though something positive.
Word of mouth (smile) covers the original message with the irony that transforms even the complaints into something to ponder - the truth is art of seeing. So what's above?
