Jewels from the ocean…

The Ocean had always a meaning and great connection in my life and Art . This is a post I wrote a while ago…

Godly Sunset  Godly Sunset

When I was in Italy I grow up in a city on the Mediterranean sea, I could see it from my window at home. I have been always fascinated by the changing colors during the four seasons.  The sea is an element that is intimately linked with my life and identity. My watercolor paintings and Illustrations are very often inspired from beautiful  seascapes, the movement and reflection of the water. I love the dramatic light of oceans in  storm, beautiful beaches and sunsets,  including boats and harbours, ocean waves and rocky outcrops, misty landscapes, as well as beautiful underwaters fauna and flora. I love to search and look for natural found objects on the shore. There are many fascinating pieces, natural treasures that I collect.

Each piece bring me unique inspirations knowing they had many years, maybe thousands of years of underwater life before I found them, and…

Overwhelming beauty

Walking on the hills
Walking on the hills

Overwhelming beauty

The sunset light was approaching
the soft curved hills.
Evening was entering like a fierce painting
in the sky.

How amazing colors
in a new dimension that only
nature and someone above
has the power to create.

I felt that overwhelming presence
a strange feeling surrounded me,
all over like holding me
in a tight and breathtaking embrace

excitement and power for
something that I see unbelievable unreal
but truly real.

I am glad I was there
grabbing the drops of this
overwhelming beauty.

Walking on the hills Photo #2

Yesterday evening I went for a walk on the hills…this walk was amazing!
I was at the right place at the right time. Just in time to see one of the most spectacular Sunset I have experienced here. California it is known for having amazing sunsets, but yesterday was something else. I couldn’t believe what was happening in a few minutes time frame. The photos I took with my phone are beautiful and I left them just as is. I didn’t edit with Photoshop or added any filters. I just added my signature I wanted to be able to share what was the sky was really this color was so intense and red that it was just so beautiful! I got inspired to write the poem “Overwhelming beauty” I hope you enjoy this and I wish you a wonderful day!

Digital Portrait #2 – When Nature Meets Humans

Launching “WHEN NATURE MEET HUMANS” Digital Portraits #2 –

Portrait #2
Portrait #2 – Souls

Today I am showcasing my second Portrait, this creation is part of my new Digital Portraits Collection  “When Nature Meets Humans” and this is Portrait #2 – Souls

I also made a new gallery check the drop down menu Digital Portraits where I will post all the Portraits for this unique Collection.

Thank you to all of you that commented to my last post. I really love to know your opinion which I value immensely, it means a lot to me. I am very happy that you like my Concept for this new idea I am launching.
At this moment I am really  inspired creating this Collection of Artistic and one of a kind Digital Portraits, this portrait it is the #2. In my last post I explained that while creating Portrait #1  I used photos found on internet on Pinterest some of them were photos from professional photographers like the model I used for the Portrait “Proud”. This time I used one of  “YOU” here from the WP community. I am quite sure that many of you will probably recognize her soon, especially if you are a follower of her beautiful Blog. She is SOULDIERGIRL I love her and her photography she is one of my dear friends here on the blogosphere. I used 3 of her own photos from her Blog and one of mine (the water stream). I loved very much to create this portrait and I really like how it turned out.
This time I didn’t wanted to use a Model or Professional Photos, but Souldiergirl has great photos and you can see what I have been able to create to make this portrait.

I came with this Concept to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of photo portraits…let’s say that I like the idea to create very unusual portraits filled with all my inspiration, experience, art and soul like in  all my unique creations.

If you’re interested eventually  in purchasing a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos or not, I can create your personal and unique portrait.  For info and details please contact me.

As always I love your comments!

Launching 
A Digital Art Portraits Collection

“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS”

Portrait #1  – Proud –

Today I want to share with you what I have been working on and launching something new.
I like to continually evolve with my Art and creativity. From years I love to work in Digital finding new ways of visualize and learn while experimenting. I like to work with photos, manipulating images of any kind, my followers already knows and if you look at this Blog, there are many images over my menu pages that I create to customize the look of the theme I use here on WordPress like the “Header” which is a collage of many images layered together. Often I post my work created in  Digital Art  and  I am going soon to make a new gallery. When I am not working on my Jewelry Collections, and when I am not holding a pencil or a brush, I love to go Digital and Photoshop is one of my ally. I am using Photoshop from years, for me there are not other software to really compare with.
At this moment I am very  inspired on creating an evolving Collection of Artistic one of a kind Digital Portraits with the title of  “When Nature Meets Humans” this portrait “Proud” it is the #1 of this Collection and to create it I used 6 photos found over internet on Pinterest so all the images used are not my own Photography (I haven’t found any photographer name to give Credits).

I came up with the idea to mix nature with humans and create a unique and very different kind of portraits…let’s say very unusual portraits with all my experience, Art and soul into it and I love it.

If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like this one using your own personal photos, I can create your personal and unique portrait, for info and details please contact me.

As always I love your comments!

Designing a great match…

Purple Flame Ring

All my Jewelry Designs are single pieces created to have a life and standing on their own beautifully in their unique and unexpected combination of natural elements. All my creations can be combined together also if they aren’t created as sets. I like the idea to give the ability to mix and match pieces between them, or stack them together creating your own story that can be changed anytime you wear my Art.
Usually the beautiful natural gemstones I use in my designs are all a possibility of infinite combinations of colors, shapes or based on meanings that goes beyond the stones.

I wrote this poem “Hands” not long ago…

Hands
Hands

Hands
Artist precious hands,
intensity and love givers.

Hands guided by a heart pulse,
forging and hammering metals,
holding precious stones.

Inspiration from the soul,
happiness  and art givers,
emotions in a motion of senses.

stroking brushes fulfilled with passion,
dripping water on white paper,
splashes of colors take forms.

Ink tears into the unknown
a creation is born.

New Design – Soothing Fire

Soothing Fire Necklace
Soothing Fire Necklace

 During this week I have been working on several projects.
and I am happy to introduce and debut my new design a powerful necklace.
I named this necklace “Soothing Fire” and it is part of the Among Nature Jewelry Collection 2015

Soothing Fire NecklaceI loved to create this design forging and hammering the wire with a twist on the top part of the pendant.
This pendant is made in three parts and like in all of my creations there is no soldering anywhere.
I used a beautiful selection of natural gemstones,
Amethyst in different shades from pale to intense purple color, and four faceted Crystals
yellow Citrine and smoky Quartz in several shades.
I gave this creation the name Soothing Fire because
the Amethyst it is a beautiful purple quartz and emits the positive power of soothing and calming.
The yellow Citrine it is a variety of quartz and the color goes from pale yellow  to intense orange and like the fire emits positive and enlightening energy  and dispel negativity.

Soothing Fire Necklace3This necklace is available in Limited Edition and made to order it can be purchased here on YesterdayAfter.com

The Walk

Footprints
Footprints


The Walk

No one can put you in a corner.

It will come the moment,
that you will stand up strongly
and walk out from that dark tunnel
and finally face the light.

You would be trembling
you would be afraid
this walk seems so long…

you would be gasping
you would be tired
but you will be stronger step after step.

The immense love you have inside, will hold your hand tight,
your beautiful soul will lead your way to the light,
your courage will bring you out

you will be proud
You will be free
the Savior would be there to hold you always.
