Swarez Art
It’s been a while since I have been impressed so thoroughly by an artist – from the chosen medium (enamel paint), from developing technique by trial and error, combining several working places with a gallery, to market positioning, scope (huge canvases delivered worldwide), personal approach (he hand delivers all of his art in the UK) and experimenting with different mediums in addition to paintings – aluminum sculptures, art with cast resin blocks, enamel paint on carbon fiber… Ed, who creates under the label Swarez, is absolutely self-thought and although he’s often told that ‘this can be painted by my five year old child too’ and ‘he’s not an artist’ with…

I rarely write about mishaps because my focus is on beautiful and creative things, but this time I am going to share an experience for my colleagues (and not only).

No, this is about the daily…

“Brilliant Ideas” modern art documentaries
Recently I came upon some documentaries by Bloomberg on modern artists that create on a huge scale. I was truly fascinated and inspired!the series are nearly sixty, every video is approximately 25 minutes long. P.S. After I watched nearly 2/3 of the documentaries, I thought:– never comment / judge / reject modern art before you know details on the concept behind it– dream big! dream beyond your own dreams! and in general – don’t stop dreaming!
