Art Vs. Artist 2024

Art vs Artist 2024

#ARTVSARTIST2024

Happy Spring friends! I hope to find you all well!
Today I like to share my annual Art Vs. Artists 2024. Let me quickly explain what this is all about in case you aren’t familiar with it.

The hashtag #artvsarist is a yearly on repeat trend, started among artists around 2016 on most social media platforms, like Instagram, Facebook etc. It is a way for artists around the world to showcase some images of their work along with a photo of themselves in a nine squares grid. Artists chose some of their favorite artworks, mostly from the current year. The center spot of the grid is usually reserved for the Artist selfie. This is a nice way to discover the Artist face behind the Art! And it is a kind way for supporters to share an artist work. In the past few years I loved to participate, it feels always great to look back, remember and see my artistic evolution.
This is a great way to discover more artists just click on the hashtag link on any social platform.
If you would like to participate showcasing your work and yourself, all you need to do is to create your grid and share it, you have time until the end of the year!

Are you an artist participating already? Then leave your link in the comments!

How to create the grid? Easily find a template grid, I used the Layout App on my iPhone. When you created your 9 squares grid share it using the hashtags #artvsartist #artvsartist2024

If you missed my previous post here you can read the Story of this painting!
There is also something beautiful that I like to share about my work. Since I become a Usui Reiki Master I love to infuse my paintings with Reiki energy from the starting process when I begin to create to the end! This specific painting has an amazing story that surprised me beyond my expectations! First let me tell you that I don’t plan any of my landscape paintings! I have created and mastered my own painting technique that is based on my intuition and energy while I let the colors and water blend together in a unique way on the paper. I mostly use a painting knife for these paintings more than brushes! So it is almost impossible to anticipate the beautiful outcome! Each painting is unique and an amazing surprise for me! When I started this painting I connected first with my heart and with God purest light energy to connect and activate the Reiki Universal energy force to infuse the painting while I was creating it! When I had finished, I observed the painting and I saw that beautiful yellow light in the middle coming from the sky! I couldn’t believe when I saw it!!! In my process I didn’t do anything to create it, the light just formed while the water and colors blended! I think the title “Divine Light” couldn’t be more appropriate and true! I love this painting!

Art Vs. Artist 2022

October 9, 2022 Carolina Russo

#ARTVSARTIST2022

This is my Art Vs. Artists 2022,
I like to share with you what this is in case you’re not familiar with it. The hashtag #artvsarist is going on from years. I am not sure about the precise time, I guess this trend started among artists around the year 2016 on internet social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. Some call it Trend, Challenge. It is actually a way for artists to quickly showcase images of their work along with a photo of themselves. In a nine squares grid, artists pick their best artworks from the current year and usually the spot at the center is used for a selfie. I think is a nice way to discover the artist behind the art a little spotlight that brings quickly all together. I did participate to this in the past few years and I find it nice to look back at the previous ones to see how my art and work evolved. This year my grid is filled with landscapes. I selected some new paintings from my upcoming Collection release “Fields and Waters” and in the center a fun photo of me!

Fields and Waters

August 22, 2022September 15, 2022 Carolina Russo

I hope to find you all well and that you’re having a lovely Summer. I can’t believe we are already at the end of August!!! I am doing well, just I haven’t had time to post here on the Blog. Today I came to say hi to all my friends and followers and to give you an update on what I am doing.
I am currently working on a new Collection of small watercolor paintings named “Fields and Waters” if you follow me on Instagram @carolinarussoart you already had a glimpse of it!

Fields and Waters is a Collection of intuitive and meditative art that soothe the soul of the viewer through delicate colors emitting feelings of harmony. I think at this time we all need peace and serenity in our lives.
This new series is inspired by the calming beauty found around us in nature, I am focusing mostly on landscapes and seascapes using two very important and powerful elements Water and Earth.
I have been painting places that appear in my memory or a representation of places I like near where I live here in Southern California. The ocean or a path where I go for my walks.

Sometimes I paint what is created intuitively by my soul, I don’t know the location but I am sure they are somewhere in the Universe.
When I paint without any reference is what I love the most it is a form of meditation where all is quite and calm, I let my soul and intuition guide my brush strokes… the water and color freely blends together, taking precious shapes that become alive on the paper creating together the outcome I love.

Each painting is painted on a beautiful deckled edges cotton watercolor paper hand torn by me adding a beautiful extra touch. These are small paintings size 4.5×3 and 6×4.5 inches, they look beautiful framed.
Since today I have created eight painting so far. I am planning to paint a few more and then release the whole collection by the end of August or beginning of September.
This painting title is “Perpetual” the ocean, the water movement and fluidity, water is conscious and carries information supporting life on Earth.
I am painting this whole series mainly with a painting knife and a couple round brushes. I love to paint with the knife it creates beautiful shapes and effects with watercolor.

❤ Upon release all the Original paintings from this Collection would be available. I will also have Limited Edition fine art Giclee prints available! If you have any question or would like to “Reserve” one of the Original paintings before the official release date send me a message for more details.

I hope you loved to see a glimpse of this Collection, more paintings are coming soon!

❤ #fieldsandwaters

Have a great week!

Thank You!
