It's Traditional Art Day!

For Traditional Art day I've decided to feature three of my favourite traditional artists on dA. One from Russia, one from Brazil and one from Turkey. They all have a particular uniqueness to their work, individual style and hugh creativity. But you will also notice that they have in common a joyful use of colour!



I met Cenin, a wonderful Turkish artist, very early on in my deviantArt experience and I have watched her art grow and develop over the last few months. From a tentative begining exploring lines, shapes, colours, depicting images of things from her daily life, she typically explores themes of the self in relation to the world. Recently her work has concentrated on the self portrait and has become much more finished and colourful. There is a overall feel of alienation in her work, something that I'm sure many people can identify with in this strange world we find ourselves living in as artists. She has a truly unique gallery and artistic language and I urge you to visit it.




Hmm, what to say about my favourite Brazilian artist! Eduardo found my gallery a few months ago and went on a faving spree! I was online at the time and found the stars falling around me very intriging so I went over to his gallery and was amazed to find an incredibly joyful, whimsical, surreal, funny and colourful artistic experience. His work mainly centres around the female nude but not in the conventional sense. His paintings make me want to fly, jump into them and run off into the colourful distance. Please visit and enjoy his wonderful work.




I met Dmitry only recently and his style immediately jumped out at me as being quite different and special. There is something quite child-like about his work. A strong naïve style developed well and humourously with great colour compositions. His work is quite abstract and surreal, themes he covers are varied and could be anything from alien abduction, myths, strange super natural creatures to pirates and still lifes. His gallery is fun and quite a treat for the imagination. Please visit him as he is a lovely Russian artist who deserves more credit for his great work!



So there they are. I hope you enjoy their work as much as i do!

Happy Traditional Art Day!
