Hello, possible readers! :)

I love painting and I find it fun. In the last month I finished three new paintings. I hope you'll like them as much as I loved doing them.

See you next time with more stuff! :)

Autumn 2011 updates

13 September 2011, 18:10

Hello, precious ! :)

I did not update for a long time already my web site. I did many works recently and I finally found the time to post it here as well.

I made three site interfaces, a logo and a book cover.

 

Three illustrations on similar topics: robotics and the future.  

 

In my spare time I continued painting. I completed the following three works.

Since August 2010, I started collaborating with Daniel Schaaf, a german that makes various travel sites specialised for different audiences. I do site templates, which include the HTML and CSS implementation. I finally had the time, this week, to prepare and to publish on this web site all the interfaces I did for him. I already made a dozen, so in this post I will show just a few thumbnails, the rest of them are available in a dedicated page.  

  

I hope you like my new works. :)

P.S. I updated my CV as well.

Experimentul toamna

9 August 2011, 13:26

E un miros de toamnă în tine... O toamnă ambalată în sclipici și culori de păpădii. O multitudine de frunze caramelizate de nesiguranță stau să cadă la următorul val de vânt. Luminofagii tăi s-au umezit... acum sunt de-un luciu straniu, nemaivazut. Lent și delicat, câțiva picuri calzi se scurg din înaltul cer al sensibilităților tale ce transced lumea laică. Dâre de luciu cald aceștia lasă în urmă... pe suprafața fină ce anii și durerile adunate de peste veacuri s-au scurs. Un sentiment de compasiune plutește-n aer, însă acesta nu este exprimat sub forme palpabile deoarece momentul este inexplicabil. O sursă de lumină pozitivă ce pune în mișcare întregul sistem biologic este undeva acolo, ascunsă în tine, însă aparența de diamant refractar și multifațetat fac incomprehensibil fenomenul și încețoșează procesul de anticipare mintală a rezultatului spre care este orientată activitatea. Ce este oare? O feerie... o dramă, o nebunie sau... stupiditate? Nu se știe exact... Cert este că acum se pot vedea în tine straturile de umanitate așezate într-o non-ordine. Falii considerabile sunt perceptibile. Un haos ireversibil construit bucată cu bucată în timp. Fluxuri externe de non-informații și pseudocunoaștere îți hrănesc stările conflictuale ce-și au rădăciniile în straturi adânci. Astfel, pășești prin lume cu nesiguranță, în timp ce vânezi himere dintr-un balon de pseudosuperioritate. Anii de neoprit trec și trec, nimic altceva nu se vede în urma ta. Val după val, indiferent că este prielnic sau nu, îți alterează traiectoria și menirea. Conștientizezi năpasta și incerci să cauți răspunsuri, să găsești calea și adevărul, dar te împiedici de gnosticismul modern, întruchipat sub alte forme, la fel de înșelător și de perfid ca în trecut, care acum este oferit plebei ca răspuns în timpuri noi la probleme vechi. Asimilând aceste non-valori și acest modus vivendi propus din exterior, există riscul să ajungi un mijloc de răspândire a utopiilor. Apogeul acestui fenomen de poluare este închiderea într-un castel de catifea și diafan.

Prezentul raport se încheie aici. Ce se repetă? Lasă, că știu eu...

Early 2011 updates

3 January 2011, 23:20

Greetings people ! :)

Here's a quick update with my latest works.

I've done three book covers, each different and special in its way. I hope you like them. I am now working on a new one for a friend, Michael Auerbach.

Since I got my Bamboo tablet I exercise painting on a daily basis and in December 2010, I decided to take the best ideas that stemmed from my silly painting exercises and to finalise them, so I can publish them. Here are my shy attempts in painting.

I also painted a Christmas greeting card which I missed posting here, because I was too busy painting the images I release in this post. I hope you guys like this one as well, even if it is late :).

And if all this wasn't enough, I also publishing a not so 3D image I made in 5 minutes, by mistake, in 2004, but I only finalised it yesterday. The initial image was a 3D render, but I worked on it so heavily in Photoshop that it is far from the initial one, just the basic forms and shapes are there. I also painted on it - to fix and "improve" details :).

Meanwhile, I worked more on various tiny projects, like designing site interfaces, coding in HTML and stuff for school. I am still aiming at finishing my new site in 2011.

Best regards to everyone and thanks for your time!

Updates before autumn

31 August 2010, 22:25

Salut!

It's autumn already, and I've been doing quite a few things during the summer. I learned CSS and HTML, yay! It was a piece of cake. I learned, because I already started work on my new site. I hope it will be finished by the end of the year. Coding of CSS/HTML and the design is finished already, but I am waiting for my twin brother to code the required functionality in JS and PHP, but  he is really busy with the Mozilla internship.

Other than that, I made two new images. Actually the first is quite old, since summer 2009, but only now I completed it. It's called Love routine. I hope you like it.

The second image is a bit more weird. The creative process was more elaborate. I used Sketch and Toon for the initial image, then I post-processed it in Photoshop using various shadings rendered within Cinema 4D and even Vray. Then, I used the image as a texture map on a plane in a 3D virtual scene, in which I made the dark, muddy water as a photo-realistic rendition and I also placed a neon light behind the plane which had paper-like shading properties, so light could scatter through it.  Afterwards, I got the photorealistic rendition of the paper and water back in Photoshop for more post-processing. Here's an illustration of what I am talking about:

Now, the final image is here: Failed sunset. The meaning of the image is for you to figure out.

I hope you enjoy these works. 'Till next time, all the best!
