Digital Artwork

ELIN EGOYAN

My artistic life started about 25 years ago with a pencil, soft pastel crayon and my fingers as tools. Finally after a long time ignoring my desire to draw I gave in and,… was lost and really got the hang of it!

In pastel crayon I found satisfaction in making ethnical portraits. The challenge to make them almost photographic was high, and came out as I liked it. As example I took photo’s that triggered me. A look or expression in the faces or simply how someone sat or did was enough. I took what I found important and let out what was not essential.

It did not take very long to change my direction. First oil paintings, and soon after that with acryl paint.

My subjects often expresses things of (my) life. I try to tell that in bright and harmonious colors and while I am painting I follow my intuition and inner emotion as guide,

When I came to Second Life, one of my main goals was to have my own gallery and show what I made in RL. In those 9 years I found so many satisfaction in being creative in more ways SL offers. The landscaping, the building,… the drive to make creations better and better.

Very careful I stepped also on the artistic SL-road and made some digital art and vases. And so my SLigital art and RLainting art and life’s meet and unite to something were I am very happy about.

More of my RL art can be seen in my gallery. See landmark below.
