My painting for the composition exam entitled “Transparencies and Opacity in a Week”.

It may be this romantic fashion spread from L’Officiel Russia magazine (how amazingly amazing is the styling and all those clothes?) or the up-and-coming spring/summer season, but I started to like pastel colors. So much that I even used pastel colors and colored grays in my exam paintings st school: cotton candy colors, baby blue, girlie pink and purple, but mostly I love creme colors and buttery yellows. Pastel colors are the new black! Susie over at Style Bubble seems to agree (click here to read her post on pastels and enjoy the Tim Walker editorial in Vogue Italia Jan 2008). While she even wears them pastels, I stick to expressing my love through paintings. I created these two art works this week, as I’m in my last year of studying painting at the Art University in Timisoara, Romania in Ms. Dana Acea’s class.

My “Plastic Bags Installation” semester paintings.

During the semester, we had to paint this “plastic bags” installation, in a very expressionist way. See how I painted the plastic bags only in warm colors? This is my unconscious craving for spring and sun, I tell ya! Click to read the full post and enjoy some details from the “Transparencies and Opacity in a Week” painting.

I actually think these could be paintings on their own and not just random details.

Thoughts?
