Weekly Blog Assignment #1

My artist inspiration for this week is: Lilyas of DeviantART http://lilyas.deviantart.com/
Her website is available here: http://www.lilyas.de/

I chose to select Lilyas as my artistic inspiration this week because her artwork was a separate style AND media than what I am usually interested in, and yet I still find most of the pieces to be really beautiful.

Lilyas is a graphic artist who specializes in photography, photo-manipulation, fractal art, vector art and wallpaper art. Lilyas is a senior member of deviant and is listed as being from southern Germany.

I find Lilyas’ work to be inspirational because it is very vibrant and eye-catching. Something about it draws my attention even though its not only not the style of art I usually do myself or a style I usually look at. All the works are very colourful and lively which is something I tend to lack in many of my pieces because I often stop at a sketch or outline stage. The pattern and  flow of the works is also really intriguing, most of her works would make lovely backgrounds for things. The photo-manipulation roses are my favourite part, they really bring out the beauty of nature through colour and clarity. Some of my favourite pieces of hers are http://lilyas.deviantart.com/art/Summer-Day-85865647 and  http://lilyas.deviantart.com/art/Luxury-89432405 . They’re my favourites because the first is very lively and the colours are marvellous whereas the second is really classy and regal.
