WELCOME TO "THE ANCIENT GOLD"!

"There is gold everywhere, most people are not trained to see it." Robert Kiyosaki.


ABOUT THIS COURSE:

In all times people were fascinated by the hypnotic power and energy of gold and gems and many cultures connected them with immortality, divinity and purity.
But what really fascinates me is that the beauty has no age and what was beautiful thousands of years ago still makes our eyes happy and brings us a sense of immortality.

I was so inspired by these magic materials and styles so I’ve decided to create my own mixed media version of ancient golden arts and then I’ve created a course in which I offer to dive into the magic of antiquity.

I hope that this course will motivate you to explore different styles and historical facts and it will l be more than just collection of techniques and inspiration but also a source of new knowledge of historical aspects and ancient artistic styles.



WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE:

• I will show you how to create a texture of aged stone, gold and rusty metal.

• We will add green glass accents just like ancient artists used emeralds and green sapphires in their jewelries and ornaments.

• We will become a light seekers and will create assemblage with beautiful objects that capture the light like glass, quartz, sea glass, crystals, glass pebbles, glass beads and gems. These beautiful and inspiring materials will allow you to fully reveal your creative gift and resources.

• And much much more!

My work as an artist comes from a close observation and from my admiration of nature. Colors, forms, textures of trees, flowers, shrubs and landscapes in their natural state have always been the inspiration for me to express the beauty of life.
My paintings is the creation of opposites in a variety of rhythms and textures.
I combine different materials in order to overcome the challenge of achieving harmony and unity in my work. Some of my paintings are highly textured and have imbedded objects.
I explore this fine line of ambiguity between pure abstraction and implied realism through the process of layering color and organic texture. My objective is to evoke a sensation or memory in the viewer, of a place remembered or imagined, without literal reference to landscape.
