Streetart I Graffiti I Turbo Urban 2021 I Interview Robert "Opty" Roschwig I Ausstellung I Urbanart Düsseldorf I Kunstpunkt I Streetart Düsseldorf I Kiefernstraße I Kieferngoes40 I Kiefernbleibt I Bilddokumentation Turbo Urban goes Pines 2021 Preview at the Red House (K35) with Robert "Opty" Roschwig return In cooperation with the 40° Urban Art under the aegis of the artist and curator Robert "Opty" Roschwig, artists of urban art come together here with reference to Düsseldorf for an extraordinary event. Where else can you find so many extraordinary street art and graffiti works of art as well as figurative representations and photos in a small space in peaceful co-existence? Thanks to far-reaching and friendly relationships in the scene, big and small, well-known artists and those who want to become one follow the call of Turbo Urban to the Red House and thus give the 40th birthday celebration on Kiefernstraße a very special highlight. Also against the background that this is the first exhibition after 2019 in chaotic times. Thank you to "Opty", who spontaneously agreed to an interview and was able to give me interesting insights into the scene as such and into the exhibition in particular. Question: How did it come about that this exhibition could take place in the Red House? Opty : I have been involved with Kiefernstrasse for about 15 years and feel very connected to it. The last active/personal Turbo Urban Art exhibition was in 2019. From April 20th, 2020 we were forced to move to the virtual space, so to speak "directly from the couch". We were all the more pleased to take up the rather spontaneous opportunity to celebrate the 40th birthday of the Kiefernstrasse. Annotation : So far I have only encountered street art and graffiti art on house walls, train stations, trains etc. Just as art in urban space. New to this topic I had not yet visited an exhibition. But as the saying goes: "The first time is something special." That was definitely what this exhibition was for me, albeit as a preview. Question: What do you mean by spontaneous possibility? Opty: Well, I usually prepare such an exhibition with a lead time of 2-3 months. Here it was just 2-3 weeks. But hey, we got that too. It's a great feeling to finally be able to be live at the pulse of what's happening again. Annotation : In my opinion, putting together a complete exhibition in such a short time and with the usual quality is a sign of great professionalism. When asked about this, Opty nods with a relaxed grin, everything is easy, it works :-). Everyone vaccinated, Corona safety concept is in place, so we can start. Question: How did you end up in the Red House? Opty: The Red House hasn't been used in about 10 years, it was sort of the street's junk room. With the Turbo Urban Gallery, the approx. 100m² are finally being revived. The community of residents will then continue to consider how the Red House can continue to be lived. Annotation : Judging from a conversation among local residents, it's probably not supposed to be a pub anymore .Let's be surprised. Question: Do you have a permanent team and how do the artists come to you? Opty: Of course, the team changes over the years. At the moment Sven and BigB are there and do everything they can to present everything in the best possible way in time for the opening. For years I have been in good, if possible friendly, contact with many street art and graffiti artists, not only from Düsseldorf. He is, so to speak, the interface for all artists and the team. This year there are "magical" 40 artists. 40th birthday on Kiefernstraße, 40° Urban Art Festival and last but not least, the postcode of Düsseldorf starts with a 40...! Annotation : Okay, I wouldn't have come up with the idea of the zip code ;-). Also the fact that here at Opty artists sometimes hang peacefully next to each other, who in real life don't are necessarily friends speaks for the competence of the curator Robert Roschwig, not only in artistic terms. Big artists hang next to small ones, well-known sprayers next to those who might want to become one one day. Some artists are repeat offenders and accompany the Turbo Urbans over a long period of time, but new faces are always there and are easily accepted into the creative community. Question: According to what principle do you hang the pictures? Opty: I/we would like to convey 100% added value to the visitor, ie that as many styles as possible are covered, that there is something for every visitor, young and old, knowledgeable or just curious. There are things that are sprayed, painted and glued, but also photos and sculptures. The "Petersburg hanging ". Also called salon hanging, this type of picture hanging goes back to the St. Petersburg Hermitage. People felt the need to paint and display more and more pictures, for example of family members. Space was cramped and one picture was hung on top of the other .Sometimes the walls were filled up to the ceiling.The viewer should be impressed by the amount of pictures. Despite everything, this type of hanging is subject to a well thought-out principle. I look at all the works of art that are made available in advance and let them have an effect on me. Each artist gets a place of about A2. The compilation then opens up according to topics, gut feeling and intuition. Topics are put together appropriately. In the course of the exhibition it can happen again and again that I wear something that creates new connections. So it doesn't get boring for returning visitors either. You can always come back and discover something new. The exhibition must live! Annotation : I was well aware that you can hang many pictures on a wall. But with the explanation for this particular hanging, I got a different perspective on this. There are not just pictures of different urban artists hanging on the walls, they are also put together with deliberation. There is Rumi's cyclist, who seems to be tired and leans on her bike and looks directly at the picture hanging to her right, at the Fürstenplatz. So the pictures "live" in one, so to speak Symbiosis that is sometimes altered a little by Opty. The exhibition is alive! Question: Are there any special features that are important to you in your exhibition? Opty: At each exhibition there is a guest wall. Here the participating artists can immortalize themselves creatively during the construction phase, if they like. There is no compulsion and no specifications. At a past exhibition, for example, only gray and black tones were sprayed/painted. Here I have provided some colors and asked the artists to bring colors at their own discretion. Oh yes, the goose :-), that's our mascot. annotation : Yes, the exhibition is alive, absolutely. Even if I only notice some of the pictures at home when editing them on the PC. But that's often the case for me and I think it's okay. I would also like to mention the memorial wall, which, as BigB explained to me, should not be missing from any exhibition. Entitled "Rest in Peace", a work by Benni Peacemaker commemorates the companions who have left the common path for good. Question: In a few words, what makes access to graffiti & Co. so interesting for the kids? Opty: Compared to other hobbies, access to graffiti is actually quite easy. Even if you don't have a lot of money, you can always find a spray can or an Edding somewhere. The interest in spray art cuts across all social classes. The kids are also important to us. We are planning to create a total work of art in landscape format with the children's club and to integrate it into the exhibition. A nnotation : In the Kids Club (K21), workshops are held again and again, in which various artists introduce the kids to dealing with colors and art. The beaming faces of the kids speak a clear language. Question: Die Kiefern celebrates its 40th birthday in 2021. You're younger than the pines at 34. How does it feel for you to be able to exhibit here now? Opty: I've been on Kiefernstrasse for around 15 years. I feel a deep, wonderful, sometimes creepy connection with the street, the people and life here on this extraordinary street. Annotation: As a non-Düsseldorfer and still a newcomer to the subject of street art/graffiti, I consider the Kiefernstraße with its houses that have "grown/painted" over a long period of time to be a fixed point in artistic life, not only in Düsseldorf. At least for me it is the starting point for my photo documentation around the themes of urban art. My first pictures were taken here on site ;-) When I'm out and about with my camera, I'm always happy when I find people who want to be photographed. That makes a topic or a report really complete for me. But not everyone who comes in front of my camera allows their picture to be taken, which of course I accept. The deeper reason, on the other hand, I was not really aware of until today. That for many urban artists it is not the recognition of his face that is worth striving for, but that of his tags, his writing, his works. You live the anonymity, comparable to thatBansky Effect . I walk through the city and see pictures that I know whose signature they bear. Alone he could stand next to me and I wouldn't recognize him. Too bad for me but thanks to Opty for the explanation and for the book tip. The book is impressive. You can find the newspaper article here:(...) Add comment: (...) Did you like this report?

Twice in each of the 650 anniversary years, the whole of Krefeld will become a canvas for a week. Krefeld citizens were able to make suggestions for areas to be painted. These were lovingly and extremely creatively designed by around 20 national and international artists. Follow me now on a weather-independent tour through the somewhat more colorful velvet and silk city of Krefeld. (... ) Note to the © (... ) Björn von Schulz Björn von Schulz/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Nordstr. 118, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) The young woman and the lamb ... that's what I call this beautiful picture painted at Nordstr. 118 in Krefeld by Björn von Schulz from Münster, where he was born in 1978. As a designer, illustrator and graffiti artist, Björn von Schulz quickly recognized his passion for figurative drawing and painting As he also had the talent for this style of painting, he quickly gained recognition in the scene. As a founding member of the artist collective and later creative agency "Studio Egotrips", Björn was able to prove his talent and intention. In 2015 he gave up the agency artist's life and embarked on new paths of his own. This allowed him to concentrate fully on his own art, his own "way of art". His art has been on display at home and abroad for over 20 years. Björn has also made a name for himself with various publications. He has only been painting murals and participating in various festivals since 2019. Even though photographing this picture was a bit special again, as I had to block the road from time to time, this picture radiates calm and thoughtfulness for me. The woman, who is no longer quite young, seems to be wearing a kind of "shepherdess" costume. Surrounded by green branches, I perceive a closeness to nature or a return to nature. In 2015, von Schulz left his familiar paths, the agency life, and concentrated fully on his art. He has been exhibiting his work in Germany and abroad for over 20 years now and regularly appears in various publications. Since 2019, there has been an increased focus on wall works and painting at festivals. Quellen: Artist Profile - Bjoern von Schulz - YoungArt, Björn von Schulz , Stadt Bibliothek Rheine 2022 Julia Bethke/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Tannenstr. 42, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Julia Bethke discovered her creative interest and artistic talent in her youth. It quickly became clear that she would follow this career path.She then completed her training as a stage painter at the Theater & Philharmonie Essen as part of a 3-year apprenticeship, where she learned a wide variety of techniques. Essen is the third location in Germany for this training, alongside Berlin and Baden-Baden. (I love this theater and have seen many performances there over a long period of time and was always impressed by the unconventional, unusual stage and costume design). She completed her compulsory internship at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Duisburg. She was totally "flashed" at the interview when she realized that she would have to learn many new things and techniques in this job. Her enthusiasm and passion for "her art" enabled her to successfully complete this demanding, creative school. She soon realized that the profession of stage painter has long since been just about "swinging brushes", but that larger projects also require manual skills and dexterity and that you always have to get stuck in and lug things around. (...) Huge backdrops and floors often have dimensions that exceed a normal apartment size, which is obviously exactly Julia Bethke's thing, who always goes about her work with perfectionism. Like many creative people, the fact that you can see what you have created is an important factor in her professional fulfillment. The Rheinisches Landtheater Neuss, the Theater Dortmund and the Theater für Niedersachsen in Hildesheim have been further stations in her professional career. As an employee in these theaters, she not only designed stage sets as illusion and imitation paintings, but also gave furniture, floors and walls a new creative outfit. She has also embellished large backdrops with her special style of painting. You can find some impressive examples of her creativity on her homepage . In addition to theater projects, she also shows various interior embellishments with a detailed making off as well as some private paintings. She has been working freelance since summer 2021. In times of the corona epidemic, she took the plunge into the cold water of self-employment and began to develop her own brand. "JueLIEBE" became her creative trademark. She likes the name Juelie, she tells Esther Jansen in the Kredo interview, which her uncle had given her earlier. By adding the first two letters of her surname, she came up with her stage name "JuLIEBE". She loves to create illusions. She is able to recreate tiles, wood, asphalt, rust or marble in a lifelike way. In her opinion, anything you can imagine can be imitated. A very valuable skill in her creative work, in my opinion. Using spray cans, spatulas, rollers and lots of brushes, she now carries out a wide variety of commissioned works, e.g. in schools and restaurants, from the initial idea to the final execution. In this way, she transports the viewer into her own colorful world. In 2021, she left an impressive reminder for nature as part of the Silk City Gallery Krefeld with a contribution about bees. In an interview with Esther Jansen, published in Kredo on 02.09.22, it becomes clear, among other things, that colors and textures are not only her profession but also her vocation. Her home is a reflection of her colorful passion. She has lived in Krefeld with her partner since 2020 and has made Krefeld a little more beautiful in many places with her art. Further details can be found in the Kredo interview from 02.09.22.

After emigrating from Israel, she settled in the USA/Houston and found her true calling in painting. Over the years, she has created countless works of art in the USA and all over the world on various media, such as walls, floors, canvases, practically anything that can carry color. She has painted in Western Australia, China, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and, of course, Canada and the USA. She speaks fluent English, Hebrew and Spanish. In the course of her eventful career, she has also won many awards and prizes. As the multidisciplinary artist Anat considers herself to be, she is not only able to earn a living with her versatile art, she also participates in national and international street painting and street art festivals. After the Wood Art Gallery in 2015 and the Rhine Side Gallery in 2017, the exceptional artist Anat Ronen will be back at the anniversary Urban Art Gallery in 2023. (... ) Anat weite lesen She brought us a special piece of art. As she told me, she has been collecting orphaned family photos for a while now. Among other things, she buys old photos on eBay that no one is interested in or where there are simply no more descendants. At festivals where she doesn't have to deliver commissioned work, she breathes personality and life into these pictures for a while. By painting these pictures large on walls, they become visible to the viewer. Everyone knows the small moments in such pictures, has perhaps experienced similar ones or remembers their own, almost forgotten encounters and feelings. In this way, the orphaned pictures receive renewed attention and are not forgotten. When I took my photos of the Helios wall a few days ago, similar thoughts crossed my mind. I also have family memories of similar situations. "It's not how long you wait, but who you wait for." (Some like it hot, 1959)" However, I could only really grasp Anats Ronen's intentions after she kindly explained her motives for the Krefeld pictures to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anat once again for her input, which makes her pictures even more vivid. Forgive me for the intense play of light and shadow, which made it impossible to achieve a uniform exposure of her pictures. I actually wanted to take new pictures with fewer shadows at another time, but then decided against it because it is precisely this play of light that gives the pictures a life of their own. My own representation of these pictures has emerged in the course of editing, has been approved by Anat Ronan and shows a little of my perception of her art. Source: Anat Ronan personally Krefeld im Oktober 23 fabio fedele/Italien - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Seyffardtstraße - Wand Helios, 47805 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Weiter Fabio Fedele was in Krefeld for his first European project since 2017 on the occasion of the Urban Art Gallery 2023 to mark Krefeld's 650th birthday. Fabio explains that it doesn't really matter to him whether he puts his art on the walls of his own front door, the neighbor around the corner or in a distant country. It is important to him what he paints and that this painting is in a good relationship with its surroundings. Corona has changed a lot. International projects mean an enormous amount of energy, work and costs for the artist. Financially, these projects offer no profit, rather the opposite. While he still took part in international festivals about every two years before Covid, he now sees much less incentive to travel to these events. Not least because street art projects are currently springing up like mushrooms. In order to "do his thing", to live his art, he no longer needs to travel internationally. (... ) Fortunately, he received an invitation he couldn't refuse and could be sure of the support of his better half. In Krefeld, the introverted loner was able to work on his art with old friends and make new ones, immortalizing the enchanting world of elves in their natural environment on the dreary wall of Helios Hospital. According to him, he was able to use his stay in the silk city of Krefeld to learn, observe and discover new perspectives. When you hear that the journey back to his Italian homeland took 18 hours, and when you consider the sometimes bad weather during the "painting days", you can empathize with the artist how happy and relieved he was to be back home with his better half and his small human and furry family. A big thank you to the conscious "better half", who was probably instrumental in the fact that we Krefeld residents can now call a whole cheerful elfin family our own. It took 4 pictures to capture all the magical, young, mostly female mythical creatures. They seem to feel very much at home among the magical, colorful flowers and all kinds of creepy-crawlies. Visitors and patients of the Helios Clinic, as well as people hurrying past in Krefeld, can enjoy the magic of the fairy world for a moment, if they can find the time to follow the art of the Italian free spirit. Vita: Fabio Maria Fedele comes from Rovigo, northern Italy, near Venice. There he graduated in "History and Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage", followed by a degree in Architecture. Having discovered his passion for drawing as a child, he developed his skills in many different areas. He has been working as a street artist since 1993 and added the 3D field in 2006. He has achieved the highest artistic titles awarded in Italy. These include "Maestro Madonnaro" in Grazie di Curtatone and "Magister Madomnaris" in Nocera Superiore. Although he mainly works as a street artist in northern Italy, he has also painted in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and the USA. He also works as an illustrator in archaeological museums. An extremely versatile artist. Source: Fabio Fedele personally Krefeld im Oktober 23 Cuboliquido/Italien - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Seyffardtstraße - Wand Helios, 47805 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Cuboliquido tells us that from the 16th century onwards, Italian street painters roamed the country to capture people's attention with expressive, sacred images in front of churches. As the materials used, such as chalk and pastel, were very perishable due to the weather, it has only been possible to preserve these images for posterity since the invention of photography. The cheerful robot at the entrance to the Seidenweberhaus has an easier time of it. For the time being, its preservation is assured, even if it patiently bears the garbage of "forgetful" contemporaries (... ) For some 20 years now, anamorphic street painting has also been making inroads in Italy. This 3D chalk art, now also known as 3D street painting, enhances street painting enormously, as it produces extremely realistic moments. The viewer is automatically drawn into a lifelike scene, most impressively if he or she pays attention to the specific point from which the picture is to be viewed. Here, too, you have to walk back and forth along the wall of the Helios Clinic until you find the perfect spot, hoping that a parked car is not occupying it. Cuboliquido was born in Milan in 1974. He has been making a living from his art since 1992 and discovered his passion for street art in 1994. First as a graffiti artist and later as a traditional Madonnari artist (street painting of traditional Madonna images and religious motifs with pastels). Today, two of his Madonnari artworks are exhibited in a basilica in Bethlehem and in Mexico City. Since 2009, he has focused particularly on anamorphic 3D street painting and has participated in many international street art festivals, where he has won numerous prizes. He has presented his paintings across Europe, in Russia, the USA, Latin America, Thailand, China, the Middle East and South Africa. He has worked for many well-known companies such as Disney, Universal Cinema, Amazon, Coca Cola, Samsung, Unilever, Warner Bros and many more. To date, he has participated as a street painter in over 200 events of various kinds. He is the first artist to combine 3D street painting with animated videos (video mapping) and his work has been shown at three different art biennials and other contemporary art exhibitions. He was awarded the title of Maestro Madonnaro in Grazie die Curtatone and in March 2017 he won first prize in the world's most important competition for 3D street art in Dubai.

For the Krefeld Urban Art Festival 2023, he has conjured up a powerful, jumping horse with an Amazon on the wall above the Krefeld restaurant "Schümli". After the first photos I took there and a very nice, if unfortunately not very informative conversation with the team and guests of the Schümli, I got some information about his art from Ruben himself. A big thank you to Ruben at this point. Ruben doesn't give an explanation of his painting as he doesn't want to make a specific statement for the viewer. Instead, he approaches a new work of art more intuitively by familiarizing himself with the ground that is to be painted, looking at the people, the neighbourhood and the city. He looks to see if there are any local stories, myths or similar that can give him a feeling for the wall. He himself calls his painting "Hope & Liberty". As he likes action very much, he has chosen a jumping horse here. A horse jumps in a fraction of a second. Ruben wanted to bring this effect of frozen time, the paused moment, closer to the viewer. The horse was quickly given a rider, in this case a female rider. It is possible that the Lorelei legend inspired him to create this lady, but it could also be a classic depiction of a female figure with a torch, which could stand for independence and freedom. But as Ruben says, the interpretation is up to the viewer. He is interested in the action and a source of light that gives the picture an "inner light" and a feeling outside of reality. (... ) Ruben Poncia paints graphically, not photorealistically. He paints with brushes and creates the shapes of his pictures through the direction of his brushstrokes. The physical nature of the wall and the surroundings are largely decisive for his works. He creates his sketches in black and white, the colors are then supposed to blend in with the surroundings. When I post-processed my photos, the colors seemed a little pale and dark. After reading about Ruben's working methods and looking at the wall again, I now perceive the colors as absolutely fitting into the surroundings. As the time that artists have for a painting is limited, a project like this quickly becomes a sport. The artist's ideas, his own physical condition and the changing weather make the whole thing a challenge. In addition, there is the operation of the lift, sufficient fuel and whatever else may be required. The artist gives his all every day to stay on schedule. In his email to me, Ruben thanks the Krefeld team once again, who, like all the other artists, gave him great support in all matters. He also had fond memories of the people in the neighborhood. He had to fetch a bucket of water from the "Schümli" a few times, was warmly welcomed there and was happy about any kind of communication with people passing by. Some complimented him, some probably expressed negative opinions. But for Ruben Poncia, all of this falls under satisfactory communication. And so, in my opinion, street art has done its job of creating art in public space for the public. While I was photographing, people kept coming to see what I was doing, only to see the picture they hadn't seen before. These brief moments of communication are also important to me, as they are always a contact with the outside world, however brief.

He lived there in Huarte and Vitoria and in Germany in Göttingen, Bremen and Rheinberg. As soon as he grew up, he began to beautify the streets with his art not only in his home city of Pamplona, but also in numerous other cities, including Barcelona, Milan, Turin, Göttingen, Berlin and many more. With his special feeling for street art, he has won numerous prizes at Spanish and Basque graffiti and street art festivals. (... ) His art is characterized by the special combination of his urban roots, visible through tattoos and graphic design, and 3D art. The term "Corte", which translates as "cut" in German, can be found as part of his artist name. This is how his artistic activity developed from various art genres such as graphic design, classical art and graffiti. He works freelance in the fields of wall art, decoration, illustration, fine art and graphic design. This is Jabi's first time at a street art festival in Krefeld and he has chosen an extremely "hot" time for his painting. Even though you would expect a native Spaniard to be relatively tolerant of heat, I was able to see for myself how exhausting it was to work in these temperatures. His painting for Krefeld is entitled "Arantxa eta Agustín, beti gogoan". According to the artist, it is a tribute to his aunt Arantxa and his uncle Augustin, whose ashes the family laid to rest under a gingko tree planted especially for them. An unusual and yet loving presentation. The two, aunt and uncle, depicted as astronauts, floating, without recognizable faces, yet delicately glowing, can thus evoke the idea that they are always with their loved ones.

He is one of the founding members of the Ma'Claim Crew. His works are photorealistic and depict the power of movement through the representation of hands. Hands in many variations and connections or touches. Having started painting in 1995, Chase Maclaim has exhibited his work in more than 20 countries. In these countries, he leaves behind his very personal, powerful handshake. His corresponding hands leave the impression that movement and at the same time unity are symbolized by these very hands. Chase wants this interference to be perceived not only on a physical level, but also in the social and political sphere. He uses these hand gestures, which are understood by everyone, to clarify his intentions. It is often the gesture that says more than 1000 words. His hands, or rather his hand gesture for Krefeld, are borrowed from sign language and, if you look at these hands from top to bottom, stand for the term "home". He sees the uniqueness of hands, hands that connect people. With this campaign, he wants to draw attention to the limitations of physically impaired citizens. He once painted a wheelchair user looking down at passers-by. After this gesture was positively received by the wheelchair user, he really became aware of the relevance of this topic. I perceive this description as a change of perspective, a change in the levels on which wheelchair users and people on foot move. While writing these lines, I had to think about it for a while, just leave this little report as it was and took another look at his Instagram account under this premise. It's worth it, take a look :-) (... ) Quellen: URBAN Nation , streetartcities.com Krefeld im Oktober 2023 Info Urban Art Gallery Krfeld 2023 Weiter Info weiter lesen Some of the artists are old acquaintances who have already taken part in previous projects. Others are newcomers who have come to beautify the former silk city of Krefeld. This year, the focus was on large areas that are suitable for providing residents and visitors to the city with new perspectives. To this end, citizens submitted proposals for areas to the collective betont.es in advance. The proposed areas were checked for their suitability and then the owners were approached. The owners, who in my opinion have experienced great added value for their properties as a result of this campaign. Despite the supposedly summery season, the artists and their teams had to contend with adverse, i.e. wet, conditions from time to time. However, during my photo tours in glorious weather after the end of the campaign, there was no sign of this. On the contrary, I sometimes had to contend with a little too much sun in front of the lens. Since 20 artists have created a lot of art and I want to treat each subject with a certain amount of care, I will upload the pictures here one by one, without taking into account the date of creation, with a little background information. Contrary to my original plan to upload all the pictures in one gallery, I have decided to create a separate section for each artist for a better overview, which can then be selected individually in the menu. As I sometimes find simply taking photographs too boring and many other photographers do the same, I sometimes allow myself to interpret the images myself. This is actually very much in the spirit of urban art, namely interpreting it according to your own ideas. Just let the pictures have an effect on you. I have linked the Instagram accounts under the artist's name. Finally, a note on copyright. I have carefully compiled the information on this topic and basically on all topics on this site and noted the respective sources.

Until I have found the "perfect" structure, I am dividing this page into four sections, i.e. galleries: 1. Furr ies - FFXIV inspired pictures : These characters are modeled by me after common characters from the Final Fantasy series, among others. The characters are created with DAZ content and morphed by me, i.e. physically and optically adapted until I liked them. I see the basic characters as borderliners, as border crossers between light and dark. Let's see what other characters come along and what they will experience. 2. Manga and anime style : In addition to fantasy characters I have created, which I more or less assign to the manga and anime style, there are also NPCs from various online games. Sometimes it's not easy to assign them, then I roll the dice to see where they belong ;-). The original figures are usually not recruited directly from the DAZ Studio, but are processed and rendered by me. 3. Japanese style : Here you can find typical japanese scenes and characters. Geishas and their friends ... 4. Cartoons & Little ones : By this I mean the small, cute and often rather simple figures. Characters that you can best imagine in comics (sometimes also for adults), that you can just find cute and cuddly. Sometimes, I also generate saying pictures with members of this crew, most of which can be found at some point on my Facebook page "Childhood Wisdom", which is currently still under construction.

In 2012, the extremely destructive hurricane "Sandy" paralyzed the power supply of the 69th Division of the US National Guard in New York. The well-known lingerie manufacturer has had its damsels of heaven run the annual fashion show at US National Guard headquarters since 2009. But no electricity and a severe cold snap caused the show to falter badly. Not only the scantily clad models, but also the spectators certainly didn't want to enjoy the enchanting clothing in a Siberian ambience. So the Victoria's Secret team got down to work and supplied the building with the necessary electricity in less than a day. They set up 500-watt dynamos and breathed new life into the elevators, among other things, so that the show was a (usual) success for everyone involved. When I first skimmed the article, I thought it was a joke, but it must have been the truth. Seems like the lingerie manufacturer doesn't just sell "underwear" ;-). Reason enough for me to deal with the history of its origins: At the end of the 70s there was Roy Raymond, who had just received his doctorate from the "Graduate School of Business", who obviously had a problem with red ears, which always occurred when he was woman wanted to buy pretty lingerie. So he created a boutique for lingerie in the Victorian style, modeled on his parents' house, where men could buy magical underwear for their loved ones in a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere. In 1977, with an $80,000 loan from his bank, he created the first Victoria's Secret shop in Palo Alto, California, in the style of a 19th-century salon. It is said to have been furnished with heavy velvet curtains, historic wardrobes and valuable oriental carpets. His idea was a resounding success, he made half a million dollars in profit and set up four more stores and designed a mail order catalog over the next 5 years. I don't quite understand why he then sold his entire chain to Leslie Wexner, the founder of the multi-billion dollar women's clothing chain "The Limited", in 1982 for only four million. Unfortunately, the life of this interesting man ended tragically. Several attempts to set up a new business, for example in the area of children's clothing or toupees, failed, as did his marriage. In 1993, Roy Ramond died by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. "The Limited" worth around 11 million on the stock exchange in 2012, continued the magical lingerie idea extremely successfully. In the years that followed, more and more shops were opened and the mail order business expanded. In 2012, there were more than 1,000 Victoria's Secret branded stores in North America alone. The shop opened in London and Asia in 2012 with the start of the Summer Olympics. Approximately 390 million catalogs were mailed. Obviously, the secret of the huge success also lies in the winged models. The heavenly feeling paired with unusual, beautiful lingerie is not only successful in rather prudish America. The top-class annual shows attract a lot of attention, not least because of the world-famous models. Professional advertising supports the concept. In 1999, for example, the event was broadcast live from Times Square via the Internet. The advertisement for this ran during the half-time break of the Superbowl, resulting in 1.5 million viewers. 1.5 million people who watched the scantily clad angels on the runway. A remarkable success. Only in 2004 was the show canceled once. According to unconfirmed statements, Justin Timberlake's "Nipplegate Affair" was the trigger. He probably looked too closely at Janet Jackson's chest during the performance. Oh well, ... Another highlight was the first diamond-studded brassiere in 1996, which Claudia Schiffer only wore for the catalogue. It was said to be worth $1 million. In 2000, a diamond-studded bra worn by Giselle Bundchen even just for the catalogue, worth $15 million, even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2001, Heidi Klum floated down the catwalk for the first time in one of these sparkling bras. The precious part was valued at $12.5 million. Of these treasures, only a 42-carat Harry Winston diamond was sold, which certainly did not diminish the level of awareness of the Victoria's Secret brand. But in 2021, Victoria's Secret will also have to change its attitude towards the ideal image of women. The head of the company, Martin Waters, explains that from now on they want to take care of the cultivated women instead of the scantily clad angels, because he currently doesn't think angels are (any longer) relevant. New faces for her lingerie include US soccer player Megan Papinoe, freestyle skier Eileen Gu and producer and author Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The plus-size model Paloma Elsesser is also there. Models like Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer, Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Campell or Alessandra Ambrosia were a thing of the past. Men's ideals should no longer be of fundamental interest, but what women want. A new campaign has been launched: "VS Collective" focuses on women who have made outstanding achievements and do not stand for special body dimensions. Paloma Elsesser, the plus-size model, has signed with Victoria's Secret in hopes of helping to revolutionize the definition of "sexy" and change the world. These are certainly commendable intentions and also send important signals due to the outstanding position of the company. However, one should not forget that it is far from possible to depict the entire spectrum of women in the world. But Victoria's Secret still sees itself as a high-end boutique and not as an everyday department store.

Von Baum zu Baum/From Tree to Tree Diese entzückenden kleinen Gesellen, die zur Gattung der Baumhörnchen gehören, sind ausgesprochen vielseitige Geschöpfe. Sie können ihren buschigen Schwanz nutzen, um sich selbst Schatten zu spenden und sich bei Kälte damit zu wärmen. Die meisten der 29 Arten leben auf dem amerikanischen Doppelkontinent, nur 4 Arten, davon sind in der Alten Welt beheimatet und diese sind überall in Europa bis weit nach Asien verbreitet. Sie haben alle einen weißen Bauch und die Färbung ihres Fells ist von der Farbe der Bäume in ihrer Umgebung abhängig. Landläufig ist bekannt, dass sie sich von Sämereien und Nüssen ernähren. Doch soll es einige Opportunisten geben, die auch an Insekten, Eiern und Küken Geschmack finden. Dass sie in diesen Fällen auch Nestraub betreiben, scheint ihnen aber niemand übelzunehmen. Als zu Hause bauen sie bis 4-5 Kobel, in denen sie auch ihre Jungen aufziehen. Die "Damen" lassen sich zur Paarungszeit von geneigten "Herren" umwerben und entscheiden selbst, wem sie letztendlich ihre Gunst gewähren. Diese interessanten Fakten sind nur ein kleiner Teil dessen, was es über diese possierlichen Wesen zu sagen gibt. Mach ihnen und auch dir doch mal die Freude und schaue dich mit ihren Augen um. Spring mit ihnen von Baum zu Baum, fühle, wie durch die Luft gleitest, wie es riecht in deinem Wald, in dem du die nächste Generation großziehst und ihnen alles für das Leben beibringst. Letztendlich auch nichts anderes, als das, was Menscheneltern tun. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven These adorable little fellows, which belong to the tree squirrel genus, are extremely versatile creatures. They can use their bushy tails to provide themselves with shade and to keep warm in the cold. Most of the 29 species live on the American double continent, only 4 species are native to the Old World and these are distributed throughout Europe and as far as Asia. They all have a white belly and the colour of their fur depends on the colour of the trees around them. They are commonly known to feed on seeds and nuts. However, there are said to be some opportunists that also enjoy insects, eggs and chicks. However, no one seems to hold it against them that they also rob nests in these cases. At home, they build up to 4-5 boxes in which they also raise their young. During the mating season, the ‘ladies’ allow themselves to be wooed by willing ‘gentlemen’ and decide for themselves who they ultimately grant their favour to. These interesting facts are only a small part of what there is to say about these cute creatures. Why don't you give them and yourself the pleasure of looking around through their eyes? Jump with them from tree to tree, feel how they glide through the air, how it smells in your forest where you are raising the next generation and teaching them everything they need to know about life. In the end, it's nothing more than what human parents do. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Made with DAZ I No Ki I Postwork Paintshop & div. Fotoapps Ein bisschen Pippi Lotta/A little bit Pippi Lotta Das haben wir noch nie probiert, also geht es sicher gut. -Astrid Lindgren Was mögen die beiden wohl noch nie ausprobiert haben? Bestimmt etwas Spannendes oder wenigstens etwas Lustiges oder sogar Verbotenes. Anders wäre nämlich langweilig und langweilig war Pippi Langstrumpf ja nie. Wenn wir Tierbabys beobachten, ob im Zoo, daheim oder im Internet, erfreuen wir uns immer an den drolligen Spielen, den manchmal unbeholfenen Versuchen, irgendwo heraufzuklettern, etwas zu suchen oder zu fangen. Entdeckerfreude pur, kaum Angst oder Vorbehalte. Kommt noch ein Freund oder eine Freundin dazu, macht es noch einmal so viel Spaß. Beste Freunde für immer? Wann haben wir diese kindliche Entdeckerfreude verloren? Wann sind wir vermeintlich ernsthaft und vernünftig geworden und haben dabei auch ein wenig Spaß und Unvoreingenommenheit verloren? Warum nicht mal die Welt aus den großen Augen eines neugierigen Tierbabys betrachten? Mit ihm gemeinsam wie Kinder die spannende, noch unbekannte Welt entdecken und mit ihm auf seine Weise erobern? Vielleicht fällt es uns Menschen dann etwas leichter, die Natur mit ALLEN Lebewesen achtsam zu behandeln. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven What might they never have tried before? Probably something exciting or at least something fun or even forbidden. Otherwise it would be boring and Pippi Longstocking was never boring. When we watch baby animals, whether at the zoo, at home or on the internet, we always enjoy the funny games, the sometimes clumsy attempts to climb up somewhere, search for or catch something. Pure joy of discovery, hardly any fear or reservations. If a friend joins them, it's even more fun. Best friends forever? When did we lose this childlike joy of discovery? When did we become supposedly serious and sensible and lose a bit of fun and impartiality in the process? Why not take a look at the world through the big eyes of a curious baby animal? Discover the exciting, still unknown world together with it like children and conquer it in its own way? Maybe then it will be a little easier for us humans to treat nature and ALL living creatures with respect. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Made with DAZ I No Ki I Postwork Paintshop & div. Fotoapps Hinter der Schönheit/Behind the Beauty Wie leicht kann sich hinter bezaubernder Schönheit, Bosheit, Hass und Falschheit verbergen. Im täglichen Kampf um Schöner, Klüger, Reicher verliert sich oft der Blick auf die Wahrheit, das Wesentliche, das Echte. Man lässt sich von anderen blenden, was sie vorleben und als begehrenswert definieren. Frechheit und Falschheit als Mittel zum Zweck. Vielleicht sollte man ab und zu einen Blick durch die Augen der Schlange als uraltes Symbol für Falschheit und Manipulation werfen, um eher die Gefahren, die um uns lauern zu erkennen und unsere Wertvorstellungen und unser Handel zu überdenken, bevor wir uns im Sog der falschen Träume mitreißen lassen. Auf der anderen Seite aber ist auch die Schlange ein Lebewesen dieser Erde und hat ihren Platz in der Gemeinschaft von Menschen und Tieren. Ein Blick durch ihre Augen als Lebewesen kann uns Menschen den Blick auf die so verschiedenen Lebensräume und Überlebensfähigkeiten dieser faszinierenden Reptilien erlauben und so vielleicht dafür sorgen, dass wir durch mehr Wissen weniger Ängste gegenüber diesen Tieren empfinden. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven How easily malice, hatred and falsehood can be hidden behind enchanting beauty. In the daily battle to be more beautiful, smarter and richer, we often lose sight of the truth, the essentials, the real thing. We allow ourselves to be dazzled by what others exemplify and define as desirable. Cheekiness and falsehood as a means to an end. Perhaps we should occasionally take a look through the eyes of the snake, an ancient symbol of falsehood and manipulation, in order to recognize the dangers lurking around us and rethink our values and our actions before we allow ourselves to be swept away in the maelstrom of false dreams. On the other hand, the snake is also a living creature of this earth and has its place in the community of humans and animals. A look through their eyes as living creatures can allow us humans to see the very different habitats and survival skills of these fascinating reptiles and thus perhaps ensure that we feel less fear towards these animals through more knowledge. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Made with DAZ I No Ki I Postwork Paintshop & div. Fotoapps Giftige Schönheit/Poisonous beauty Im Regenwald entlang des Amazonas leben ca. 1.000 Arten aufregender Frösche mit bunten Farben, riesigen Augen und fantasievollen Mustern. Märchenhaft auffallende Exemplare der Tierwelt. Einige sind durchsichtig, andere hochgiftig. Sie leben im Wasser, auf dem Boden der Regenwälder oder auf den riesigen Bäumen, die dort wachsen. Von winzig klein bis ziemlich groß ist alles vorhanden. Sie können nicht nur durch ihre Lunge, sondern auch durch ihre Haut atmen. Deshalb benötigen sie immer Wasser in ihrem Lebensraum, damit ihre Haut nicht austrocknet. Wie bei den Baumsteigerfröschen kann die Haut am Rücken aber auch deren Gift enthalten und bei kleinster Berührung durch einen Feind abgegeben werden. So klein sie sind, so unterschiedlich und wunderschön sind sie, wahre Meisterwerke der Natur. Bestimmt leihen sie uns Menschen gerne mal ein Auge, um mittels diesem einen Blick auf ihren Lebensraum, ihren Teil von Mutter Natur zu werfen zu lassen und uns neugierig zu machen, was es noch alles über diese faszinierenden Lebewesen zu wissen gibt. -Samara Blue /Kerstin Ellinghoven The rainforest along the Amazon is home to around 1,000 species of exciting frogs with bright colours, huge eyes and imaginative patterns. Fabulously striking specimens of the animal world. Some are transparent, others highly poisonous. They live in the water, on the ground in the rainforests or on the huge trees that grow there. They range from tiny to quite large. They can breathe not only through their lungs, but also through their skin. This is why they always need water in their habitat so that their skin does not dry out. As with the tree climbing frogs, the skin on their backs can also contain their poison and be released at the slightest touch by an enemy. As small as they are, as different and beautiful they are, true masterpieces of nature. They certainly like to lend us humans an eye to let us take a look at their habitat, their part of Mother Nature, and to make us curious about what else there is to know about these fascinating creatures. -Samara Blue /Kerstin Gerd Ellinghoven Made with DAZ I No Ki I Postwork Paintshop & div. Fotoapps Eleganz trifft Balance/Elegance meets Balance Sei ein Flamingo in einer Welt voller grauer Tauben, lass dich nicht aus der Balance bringen, sei stolz, stets elegant und immer du selbst. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Wusstet ihr, dass Flamingos ohne große Anstrengung auf nur einem Bein stehen können, weil sich ihr Körperschwerpunkt über das Standbein schiebt und sie sogar einen Art Arretiermechanismus haben? Dieser sorgt für die Stabilität, sodass sie sogar im Schlaf stehen können. Für das Stehen auf beiden Beinen hingegen müssen sie aktiv Muskelkraft aufwenden. Flamingos sind entgegen dem Glauben, dass sie nur in tropischen Gebieten vorkommen, in nahezu allen Gebieten der Erde zu finden. In den Anden brüten Arten in Höhen von ca. 3500 - 4700 m, im Winter leben sie in Gebieten, in denen die Temperaturen bis auf -30° absinken können.

Wunderschöne, höchst interessante Tiere, die es wert sind, auch ihre Welt immer wieder durch ihre Augen anzuschauen und als schützenswert zu erleben. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Be a flamingo in a world full of gray pigeons, don't let yourself be thrown off balance, be proud, always elegant and always yourself. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Did you know that flamingos can stand on just one leg without much effort because their center of gravity is shifted over the supporting leg and they even have a kind of locking mechanism? This provides stability so that they can even stand while sleeping. To stand on both legs, on the other hand, they have to actively use muscle power. Contrary to the belief that they only occur in tropical regions, flamingos can be found in almost all areas of the world. In the Andes, species breed at altitudes of around 3500 - 4700 m, and in winter they live in areas where temperatures can drop to -30°. Pink all-rounders, so to speak, about which there is so much more to know. Beautiful, highly interesting animals that are worth looking at through their eyes again and again to see their world as worth protecting. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven Color your life - Regenbogenfarben ...

Sie sind neugierig, benutzen ihren Verstand und passen sich an. Sie sind nicht wählerisch mit dem, was sie fressen und nehmen immer wieder Zeit zum Spielen. Diese Vögel verschaffen ihrer Stimme Gehör und lassen sich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Eigenschaften und Fähigkeiten, von denen wir Menschen uns ab und zu etwas abschauen könnten. Nun ja, einen Wolf zum Freund mag nicht gerade realistisch sein. Auch könnte ich selbst dem Futter von Krähen nicht viel abgewinnen, aber der Sinn dessen, was wir uns von Krähen abschauen könnten, mag klar geworden sein. -Samara Blue/Kerstin Ellinghoven They are diligent and seem to follow their paths without fear, even when they are uncertain. They trust their intuitions and the animals that cross their path to guide them, and are loyal to their companions. Crows may be a friend to the wolf. They are curious, use their wits and adapt. They are not picky about what they eat and always make time to play. These birds make their voices heard and do not let themselves be disturbed. These are qualities and abilities that we humans could learn a thing or two from. Well, having a wolf as a friend may not be realistic.

Aloof, almost unearthly, her wondrous headdress captivates her admirers. Will they get closer and dare to penetrate their icy spheres? Besotted and blinded by icy beauty? Would they survive an encounter or burn in blue ice as punishment for their impudence? -Samara Blue Mutter Natur - Herbst Es wird Herbst. Während die Welt den Atem anhält, atmet Mutter Erde auf. Nachdenklich wendet sie dem schwindenden Sommer ihren Rücken zu. Fast als wäre sie sich nicht sicher, ob sie die Ruhe des Herbstes tatsächlich als solche erleben kann. Ob die Menschen dieser einzigen Erde die Ruhe, die sie so dringend benötigt, auch zu gestehen werden. Hoffnungsvoll denke ich bei mir: "Wenn es sich mit dem Herbst des Lebens ebenso verhält wie mit der Natur, so möchte ich nicht eine Sekunde jünger sein, sondern diesen Lebensabschnitt mit geruhsamen Schritten durchwandern und die unglaubliche Farbenpracht wahrnehmen und genießen!" -Samara Blue Mutter Erde - Sommer SOMMER, SONNE, FARBENRAUSCH ...

With this action, in which the last 5 houses were also designed by various well-known street artists, an entire street, 14 houses, had now become a total work of art. A reason for me to look at each of these houses individually and to give them space for their own story.

Gerade in dieser unwirklichen Zeit ... 1/17 Ben Mathis was responsible for creating the grid and the MaJo Brothers for much of the figurative elements. Gears of different shapes and sizes are alternately distributed with robotic figures in the individual fields. Robotic arms seem to appear from windows, moved by a mechanism invisible to the viewer. The grid, kept in various shades of gray and white, sets clear accents with the intensive orange-red that is also used. On the phone, Ben explained to me when I asked that this color would provide a good contrast to the neighboring house and was used as such. If you look closely, you can see that in the transition area to house no. 19, the elements mix in some places, that there are subtle but well thought-out transitions to the neighboring house. Another way to show togetherness. Ben Mathis has also added a few to ensure that there are not only figures from the MaJo Brothers romping around on the façade. These can be recognized by their more angular shape. Since the construction trailers in front of the house could not/were not allowed to be moved at the time of painting, they were included in the design without further ado. After all, no disturbing foreign bodies should be included in the pictures during the final photo session. But why do you need construction trailers, I first asked myself and then Ben Mathis . At that time these trailers were used as a kind of church. Among other things, contact with the residents should be maintained here. With coffee and sandwiches, the physical well-being was not neglected either. As a visible sign, the Jesus portraits can be found on the front of these trailers. According to rumours, the figurative representation did not really appeal to the clergyman responsible. I haven't been able to research what exactly was wrong with these colorful Jesus pictures for almost 15 years now. Maybe the lamb's look doesn't really look innocent ;-). For me, these trigger a touch of flower power feeling. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit too young for this time to have actively experienced it. But sometimes I regret not being able to experience this feeling live when I was younger. One of the reasons why I am so fascinated by the total work of art on the Kiefernstraße.

Samara Blue I Wer bin ich? Was treibt mich an? I Meine Kameras I Meine Visionen I Meine Ideen I Meine Wünsche und Vorstellungen I Urbexart I Dreamtime I My Way of Art I Lost Place I Streetart Kerstin Ellin ghoven aka samara blue- Just Me return Hi, I'm Kerstin Ellinghoven - better known online as Samara Blue . This name comes from my time as founder and dancer of the Moonlight Dancers, a group that combined oriental dance and fascinating fire shows. This creative phase shaped me and the name still accompanies me today on my artistic paths in digital and photo art as well as local photo reportages. How I got behind the camera My love of photography began indirectly with the search for cool pictures of my fire shows. That's when I met Dark Lord Ellia, a photographer and artist from Krefeld - and now my husband. I'm still waiting for the promised fire photos, but I discovered that my place is behind the camera and not in front of it. I dedicate myself to photography with a lot of passion and curiosity, am constantly learning new things and usually let my gut feeling guide me. My old Nikon D700, without automatic controls, is my favorite - it demands real craftsmanship and connects me more intensely with my subjects. Although I don't do photography professionally, I see it as my creative form of expression. I love capturing special moments for people - from emotional weddings and sensitive baby belly shoots to glittering oriental dance shows. Capturing emotional memories for dancers is particularly close to my heart. It fulfills me to give them pictures in which they like themselves - a feeling that for me goes far beyond my own time on stage. Lost Place Fotografie My entry into photography began with lost places - thanks to my husband, who initially took me to such abandoned places. My fascination for the stories and backgrounds of these places eventually led me to create my website “Samara Blue - Urbexart”. Even though my focus today is on digital art, this name reminds me of my photographic beginnings. My approach was never to cover as many spots as quickly as possible. I wanted and still want to feel the atmosphere of the places, discover their stories and bring them to life through my pictures. Every project is time-consuming: from discovering the places to researching, selecting and editing the photos. I consciously take the time to capture the uniqueness of each place and gather background information. Lost places, often forgotten buildings from recent history, are more than just backdrops for me - they tell of life that once was and stimulate the imagination, allowing us to participate in long-gone history. Lost Place Streetart & Magische orte Urban art and special places I came to the subject of street art rather by chance. Many of my photos show colorful graffiti and urban artworks that were simply too good to gather dust on my hard drive. Fascinated by the stories behind these works, I began to research artists and find out their intentions. It gets particularly exciting when artists like Ben Mathis, Klaus Klinger or Karsten Breidenbroich share their insights. The Kiefernstraße in Düsseldorf with its beautifully colored houses remains a project close to my heart - a vibrant hotspot of urban art that is constantly changing. I am also always fascinated by the regularly recurring urban art events in Krefeld. They not only offer inspiring works of art, but also the perfect opportunity to get in touch with artists. These encounters give me a deep insight into their creative processes and enrich my view of their works. As a Krefeld native, my photographic heart naturally goes out to the regularly recurring urban art events. In addition to great pictures, there are also many opportunities to get in touch with the artists and gain a deeper insight into their creative process. I am also interested in unusual places with history or a special atmosphere. One example of this is the Schlaraffia Crefeldensis in “Et Klöske” - a fascinating place that I had the opportunity to photograph. It was a very special encounter, as women are not usually allowed in here. Projects like this give me the opportunity to make stories visible and capture places in a special way. Urban art and special places - for me, both combine photography and curiosity in their most beautiful form. Urbanart Krefeld 2023 Urbanart Krefeld 2015-2021 Dü-Kiefernstraße Magische Orte Digital art & Lyric Digital art is my main focus at the moment - a creative focus that fulfills and inspires me. Thanks to my husband, I discovered DAZ Studio, a medium that allows me to create diverse scenes with characters, animals and environments. Perspectives and lighting are similar to real photography. Even though this work requires patience, practice and lots of experimentation, I find it a fascinating way to create images and often complement them with suitable words. This often results in small, magical stories. During the pandemic, this kind of creativity became an important part of my everyday life - and it still is today. I am particularly proud that some of my works are sold through the art print publisher Printler. This motivates me to try out new themes and processing options - even if not every experiment succeeds. Artificial intelligence in my work: I look at the topic of AI with interest, but use it sparingly. I rarely use AI for backgrounds, as it is important to me to have as much control as possible over the process of creating an image. For me, AI remains an exciting but complementary tool that will probably be indispensable in the art world in the future. But it will never be able to replace an original photograph that captures real moments. Pictures and words - one unit: For me, pictures and texts often belong together. A picture is only complete when I have found the right text to complement or underline its message. When I write, I see myself less as a copywriter and more as a creative writer. I enjoy organizing thoughts, telling stories and bringing images to life with words - intuitively and with a lot of passion. This is my way of discovering art in all its facets and passing it on. Digitale Art Art Print Publisher PRINTLER HP - design The history of my homepage: The design of my homepage is also part of my creative process. It was originally created to present my dance activities. At the time, I thought long and hard about whether I should write it myself or use a modular system and deliberately opted for the latter. Instead of immersing myself in source code, I wanted to put my energy into content. Today I rely on Wix, but even here it takes more than just clicking a few buttons. Templates have to be adapted, elements put together harmoniously and mobile views optimized. The requirements of cell phones and tablets in particular often require extra fine-tuning. Changes by the provider bring additional challenges - and sometimes it is unavoidable to intervene in the source code, even if I would rather avoid it. Despite all the small obstacles, working on my homepage remains an ongoing project - and I love it! For me, it's like a modern-day glossy picture album from my childhood, and tinkering with it is simply part of it. hobbys My creative passions: Working with the 3D program DAZ Studio and the subsequent post-processing are currently one of my most time-consuming hobbies. There is so much to discover, try out and refine that I never get bored. Photography remains my passion, which I am constantly developing. I still really enjoy holding the camera in my hand and experimenting with new techniques. Reading is essential for me - not a day goes by without an interesting book. Every book that my husband and I get our hands on also gets a permanent place in our home. Cooking and especially experimental baking are also among my favorite pastimes. My husband always benefits from this too, of course! In the colder months, we like to play 'World of Warcraft', another, unfortunately also rather PC-heavy passion. To get away from the screen for a bit, I tend to our organic garden and try yoga, which I hope is a good way to meet new people. Last but not least, I'm rekindling my old passion for designing and tailoring clothes. I finally have a sewing machine again and my fabrics and patterns will no longer be gathering dust in the corner. Lots to do, but I'm looking forward to everything that comes my way - after all, there are 24 hours in a day! My creativity What does creativity mean to me? For me, creativity is an ongoing flow that cannot be captured in rigid rules or measurable results. It is a path that I follow to enrich life with my own unique forms of expression. From handicrafts to art: Even as a child, I made everything I could find. Creative courses and new techniques constantly broadened my horizons. As my experience has grown, I have always found new forms of expression that make me happy - be it through dance, photography or creative photo reportages. Creativity without limits: Photography came into my life over eight years ago when my husband introduced me to the world of digital cameras. With a camera in my hand, the world suddenly felt like a new, limitless creative medium. It was a turning point - and the freedom to create images that I felt myself was like an epiphany. Digital art and 3D design: At the end of 2021, I came across the 3D program DAZ Studio. This new creative world allowed me to experience digital art in a completely different dimension. The process of learning and discovering always challenges me anew. Creativity is spontaneity and emotion: for me, creativity is an interplay of head, heart and soul. It loves the unplanned and unbound. It requires patience and time to unfold. It is the moment in which an image comes into being and, for me, forms a harmonious whole. Creativity is more than technique: creativity cannot be forced according to a plan or a formula for success. It is unpredictable and often comes when you least expect it. But that is precisely what makes it so unique and valuable. My art is my hobby: my art is not a competitive act, but an expression of my personal joy and satisfaction. It gives me the freedom to express myself and to share this inspiration with others, without any thoughts of competition. Creativity as a universal language: I believe that creativity is a universal language that can connect us with each other. It helps us to think outside the box, explore new paths and experience life in a deeper, more colorful way. Conclusion: My art is my hobby, my creative path. It fulfills me, enriches my life and allows me to keep discovering new things. And that is what true creativity is for me - the constant, colorful flow of ideas that never stand still and are not bound by any obligations or conditions. That is a piece of freedom for me. Lots to do, but I'm looking forward to everything that comes my way - after all, there are 24 hours in a day! Standing - Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen In the digital space, many things are often shared thoughtlessly and judged quickly. But not every statement I make reflects my deepest thoughts. Here I share with you some principles that are important to me - the thoughts that I really stand behind. My principles: Follow your dreams. A life without dreams? Not my thing. I will always follow my own dreams, even if they are not easy to realize at times. Quality over quantity: I'm not interested in posting what feels like a thousand pictures every day. If I have something to show, it's good and I do it with conviction. If I can't think of anything, then that's fine too. Just don't huddle. There is strength in calm. I take the time I need. Age is just a number. The path is my goal, even if it's bumpy, and there's always something new to discover, no matter what stage of life I'm at. I don't run after anything or anyone. I go my own way. I find peace within myself, because that is the place that suits me. I can't do anything with “fishing for compliments”. If I like what I have created, then it is good for me. Don't talk about me, talk to me if you have something on your mind. Status, possessions and intelligence mean little to me. The true value of a person lies in the way they treat me and others. I like myself with my strengths and weaknesses. If I want to learn something, then I do it. But I don't have to be able to do and like everything because others do. There is no such thing as perfection. I am open to new things and welcome honest criticism, but even without feedback I stay true to my path. Anyone who wants to can accompany me part of the way, but no one will tell me where to go. For me, respect, honesty, tolerance and loyalty are the basis of every relationship, whether in the family, among friends or elsewhere. Some things have to grow and develop. Nothing can be forced. That's what drives me. To be creative, to grow and to go my own way, in my own personal way, and to feel free and alive in the process. With this in mind, have fun browsing and be patient if it takes a while for a page or a topic to be finished. It's my time :-). Your s Samara Blue Krefeld in November 2023
