Love of Artists:Surreal Illustrator Catrin Welz Stein
 

Catrin Welz Stein 2° SURREAL ILLUSTRATOR
The Music and the Magic

As a child I loved to draw and liked to be creative.
I almost was born with a pencil in my hand.
I knew I wanted to do something related to arts.
I have graduated from Graphic Design in
Darmstadt, Germany and then worked for
different advertising agencies in Germany, USA
and Switzerland. I stopped working in agencies
after becoming a mother, and after a short time
of being self employed I decided to quit work until
my children grew older. Because of my children
(4 and 6 years old) I can go through childhood
again and I can enjoy the world of fantasy and
fairy tails. I like to look at childrens books and let
them inspire me. „Where the wild things are“, from
Maurice Sendak is a favourite book of all of us.
Through the children books I rediscovered the love
to illustration again.

As a professional graphic art designer I
often had to make compromises for the clients.
There were a lot of rules in visual communication
and I often felt that I could not express my whole
creativity. Now I enjoy creating art that does not
explain itself from the beginning. My images have
a dreamlike and surreal quality. They speak from
inner feelings which we often hide in our daily life.

In 2009 Catrin started to create digital images by
collaging old illustrations and photographs. At the
same time she discovered online social networks
and her private images were then open to the public. T
he positive responses Catrin got there were her motivation
to go on with her art until now.

Love of Artists: Painter Vilhelm Hammershoi
 

Vilhelm Hammershoi: A collection of 120 paintings (HD)

"Danish painter, Vilhelm Hammershoi is best known for
his genre-painting consisting of quiet interiors, in muted
colours/tones of blue and grey, containing isolated figures
that have their back turned to the viewer. His rooms
are sparsely furnished, suggesting a quiet melancholy
or introspection. Although Hammershoi is considered
to be an exponent of Symbolism, there is equal argument
for suggesting that he was simply interested in portraying
beauty in the ordinary, rather than making any complex
statements. His art has a mystical, timeless quality about
it, but it also enables the viewer to take a nostalgic journey
into the past.

Influenced by the composition and tonal variations of
Dutch Realist genre painting from the likes of
Jan Vermeer, and also by the American Post-Impressionist
James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Hammershoi's most familiar
subject is his wife, painted in their tidy apartment. He also
produced a number of landscapes, but these are considered
of less importance. His reputation is undergoing something
of a revival, and he is now considered to be one of the best
genre painters from Scandinavia."



*The music is sensual, quiet, and as subtle as Hammershoi's
paintings...unfortunately I have no credit for the music. If anyone
here is familiar with this music or its composer, do post.
