The Life and Times of the Unknown Artist

To come to a clearer understanding, through art,of what it really means to be so small (Scintilla),to step over the boundaries of what is normal or ordinary (Outre'),and to give most,to that select few (S.O.Teric), who do their best from day to day to understand,love,and be kind to the creature that is Scintilla Outre' Teric.I use paint, ceramics, clay, metal, found objects, throw away items.I use it all to make mobiles, mosaics, movable art, touchable art

Salvador Dali as inspiration

Antoni Gaudi (june 1852- june 1926) was, in my opinion, one of the most incredible people that has ever graced this planet with his presence. i think Gaudi to be a thoughtful, unigue and diligent man, which is apparent through his many works of mosaic, architecture, and various other forms of art (including iron works). During his time, art was considered Modernisme (Art Nouvuea), and yet his work was often considered unusual even to his contemporaries as he would incorporate the forms, angles, and curves found in nature.

It is the genius of Gaudi that has inspired me throughout the years to progress forward within my art to include 3-dimensional pieces. Before seeing the work of Gaudi I was pretty much 2D, sad to say. Since falling in love with the work of Gaudi I now love to build my art upward and outward, with tiles and other found objects.Here are a few more photos of Antonis work for you to enjoy.

You would think it would be such an incredibly easy task to move a photo from your desktop to your blog, but, no, it's not...I can pirate an image...but, I can't seem tot be able to show you one of my own. And, so, I will find one I like from the web and call it good for now :) I hope all is well in your part of the universe :)

This is aan image of one of Gaudi's creations :) Enjoy! Okay, well, never mind on that idea...I guess I am going to need some professional help in getting images to appear on my blog...until next time...Ciao for now!
