How you have to rewrite yourself in order to survive, get new crutches so to speak, a new and different way of thinking, seeing and communicating, as everything that was, isn't any more .....
About my artwork
It all started with Graphic Design, which felt much too restrictive, being a hands-on type of person...
then followed -

Printmaking, meaning etching, screen-printing, lithography, mono-prints etc.

Photography: including preparations for etching and the printing house...

Drawing - all mediums, from pencils, pastels to ink... resulting in multimedia.

Sculpture: starting out with anything I could lay my hands on, I've grown a fondness for clay as it is such a plyable medium, for bigger projects I use metal and stone, sometimes glass, wire, gauze, chickenwire...

Painting: tried all mediums even pure pigments, sticking with mostly acrylics combined with oilbars and oilpastels and lots of textures.

Graphic Design - worked as Illustrator and Graphic Designer for a few years.

Then my career as Lecturer of Fine Arts evolved by accident...

Now I own and run my own studio "Sam's Art Studio" where I give lectures, workshops and team-buildings, when I'm not working on my own concepts and art...

thanks for joining our spaltenstein-charity-artworldproject group,
please do more
, be activ,
participate
ART-Guests wanted!

The German www.SPALTENSTEIN-PROJEKT.eu
is participating in this exciting event. As an international open source art group, our idea is, that each "Spaltenstein-Participant" buys not only one art spot for themselves, but also reserves up to four spots for other artists who cannot afford to buy one field on their own.

We will present your art and your contribution on the project, you will support and help other artists from around the world and together we will support three aid organisations along with www.ArtWorldProject.com

This is our 35th Spaltenstein-Project and we hope that many of you will participate!


Statement by Mirko Siakkou-Flodin (Coordinator)

Dear Artists, Art friends, -hosts and -guests,

So far I have organized five Spaltenstein projects with a total of 180 participating artists. Many of them joined all projects.

This year, I was invited by ART WORLD PROJECT to participate on their project. I found, this is an exciting project and was inspired to do more than just simply make a contribution as an artist. I decided to combine the ArtWorldProject with our Spaltenstein philosophy of sharing art. I would like to offer my organizational skills and art project experience to make it easy for you to participate as well.
Direct Info Link: http://www.artworldproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=158&Itemid=239

I already have bought and reserved 420 fields as a full row over all seven elements on ArtWorldProject. Its row 35 and it stands for the celebration of the 35th Spaltenstein-Project. The full row is like a banner distributed over all seven elements, representing seven continents.

Please feel free to apply for participation (as Art-Sponsor as well as Art-Guest) by forwarding
the following information to me ( by email only to webmaster@mo-metallkunst.de ):
0. One "JPEG" image (in RGB mode) of your work of art (min. 1 MB | max. 2 MB) as attachment;
0. Your detailed contact datas (full name, address, eMail, website etc.);
0. Your Bio (summary);
0. Title of your forwarded work of art, year of origin, technic, size and short description_if wanted (max. 100 letters);
0. Information if you would like to offer the original work of art for sale; if yes indicate_your price (in EURO or US$) and if you want to donate a certain amount of this sales_price to the aid projects if it gets sold via the project (not obligating);

I'm truly looking forward to receive your applications, your contributions and to the exchange that will be sparked by this great social world-wide project. ArtWorldProject might get shown in various museums around the world, perhaps it will be also presented close to your home town.

We will display the row 35 with 420 contributions in the city of Ravensburg (Germany) as a large printed banner to be seen by the general public.
I'm looking forward to your participation and this exciting challenge!_
