art by Tomas

what you see below (the photo I took) hunts for me wherever I go since the image was awakened by the lens of my camera.


 Finally, I have grasped: Just have a look at what's below.




Yet lets try to see both sides. So there is my confession:
once upon a time, a beholder  dared to name himself the Creator. Thus your Tomas Karkalas became the artist...and I was proud of my profession, yet  now I see that my joy to color the pictures led me astray - I shifted from listening to the pictures to the joy at the interpretations of the pictures - the results were easy to predict: making boast of the creativity  was soon awarded with the disability.
At a moment, I see my bodily weakness as a blessing - the possibility to recall what was silenced once.
I hope my stories will help you to see yourselves better too.

Tomas, I don't see an artist as the same kind of creator as God. For me, an artist is someone who finds beauty in God's creations and tries to show them in a way that expresses each person's understanding of what that beauty is. As usual, I love the photos!

wow, i admire your outlook in life. not every one can view physical weakness as a blessing., not every one dares to look at the other side, maybe...

I see blessings in everything. All creation enjoys an inherent blessing. To recognize beauty in everything is a gift known only to a true artist in any genre.

I like both version of your art! One is soft in colors and the other is vibrant!

The one on top reflects your eyes through the lens; the other one your heart through the brush. Keep listening to your surroundings - very carefully as beauty just whispers. It is your brush or lens or whatever tool you pick that makes them loud enough for the common person to hear them.
