TO BE OR NOT TO BE ....
that is the question of shakespearian hero Hamlet ...This painting was created some years ago before the world found out about the COVID ....and I was wondered how actual this image is today ! The skull in hands of beautiful young woman evokes the shadow of death , brought by covid ...The tiny cover on her eyes reminds the mask we all use today to cover our mouth ( and the eyes of many people blinded today with this problem )...and it is balancing to fly away any moment ...But WHEN , finally ?....
Thank you for submitting your artwork. Please also write a short description relating your artwork to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
The streets lay bare, the dust has not been kicked up since February. The red sun glares and warns of coming fires. Is this a dream? Wandering the interior spaces of my mind, I hear the green sea and meadow call my name. I close my eyes. Beauty.
When Pinocchio Lies
The image was inspired by the events of 2020 and changes in the approach to health and our relations with the environment. Expressing emotions in relation to current restrictions that do not take into account a healthy lifestyle. The approach to painting this piece was also the recovery of my husband who gave up on tablets and followed a healthy lifestyle and nourished, thanks to which he returned to health. Overcoming the fear of the unknown through expression in visual art. The world in an abstract look in search of truth.
When this work was created, one of the clients who looked at the painting asked for the title, when I said, he smiled and said it is a good work with expression.
@Elwira Bernaciak Thank you for submitting your artwork.
Covid-19 exercise (4): A walk on your own
PhotoPainting from the series “Nature is within us”
What is outside is no longer outside. Trees, forests, mountains, rivers, lakes. Michael Nguyen has transformed these elements in his artworks into feelings, fantasies and dreams. They become part of our inner nature, part of the human soul.
Through the subjective lens, Michael Nguyen gives all a new perspectives, a new soul. "Michael Nguyen's photography is the art of showing more than you can see. Making visible - worshipping the invisible, he walks with the third eye of a wanderer through the visual adventure of life.
His works does not reflect reality but are the interpretation of a moment. In his art photography, the work is often created by making changes to the original photograph in image editing programs, where the creativity of the artist knows no bounds.
In my Photographic Paintings from my series "Nature is within us" I work out a distinctive aesthetic effect of my pictures. Most of the motifs are outside, in daylight. Among my most popular motifs here are landscapes, riversides, forests. In the seasons autumn and spring I find the most popular moods for me. Characteristic for my pictures of this portfolio are blurred, blurred contours, sometimes scattered light and often the renunciation of the reproduction of details, similar in style to a painting.
The pictures taken in and around Gauting and in the Starnberg district (many of them during the Corona Lockdown) - Gauting is a city in the Upper Bavarian administrative district of Starnberg and lies southwest of Munich on the river Würm.
Thank you for submitting your artwork.
“Rushing To The Rescue”
Pastels, 18”x24”
Thank you for submitting your artwork. Please also write a short description relating your artwork to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
During the beginning of the pandemic two US ships were deployed to help with hospitals in LA and NYC that might be overwhelmed. The image of these majestic ships powering through the water to come to the rescue of those in need was a powerful visual message that made an impact on me. I suddenly felt the desire of a football fan to jump up and cheer them on as our heroes.

WE ARE ALL UPSIDE-
DOWN
By, J. Scuderi
"WE ARE ALL UPSIDE-DOWN" is a photographic exploration of how the Covid-19 Coronavirus has affected society through a surreal lens.
While the Corona Virus has drastically changed our understanding of modern-day society forcing the public and governmental bodies to deal with the pandemic in strikingly different ways with varied results, Japan has taken on a relatively slow lock-down process compared to the rest of the world.
This collection of photos derives from an archive of everyday strolls mainly throughout Tokyo and Saitama prefectures. These images are an attempt to depict the slow infiltration of change by manipulating seemingly mundane scenes of various urban landscapes violated by a sense of uncanny with the addition of upside-down subjects going about their business. Ongoing series: https://jasonscuderi.vsble.me/we-are-upside-down/4645280 Connect with me https://www.instagram.com/jasonscuderi/
Thank you for submitting your artwork. These photos are spectacular!
@JaamZIN Creative Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words ; )

These works reflect the way I was feeling and still feel because of the covid-19. There are so many unknowns. The feeling of lost and foggy I continue to have on a daily basis.
