Photo

I got my first camera, when I was 14 years old. Capturing the essence of a moment, or a specific light, or an emotion which seemed to reveal someone’s spirit rather than their facade,… photography was a fascinating medium to explore.

Computers and photo-editing tools naturally led me to the creation of digital graphics, and my passion and curiosity in this area also benefited my work as a designer.
But then, after my initial enthusiasm with the digital world subdued, I returned to photography.

A Sketch Story by David White

A sequence of events has led to the creation of this very short story by David White, a writer and my friend.
A few days ago Vesna Krasnec, a painter and also a friend, took this photograph of me in a local restaurant close to the museum of fantastic art, during the long night of museums in Vienna.
David, upon seeing the photograph, spontaneously wrote this short story, the term “sketch story” may be fitting. I think I like this term in this particular case not only due to the length of the story, but also because of all the artistic implications.

Sage

Sage is a British Shorthair, and she is a beauty, though it’s not her beauty that makes her special.
She is a dog-cat. She is affectionate without being clingy, she comes when you whistle, she awaits in the entrance room when any of us come back home, she moves around the house with us and is mostly wherever we happen to be, and she is incredibly playful. She likes to play hide-and-seek.

Here are a couple of snapshots of Sage on my desk.

Digital Painting

Digital Painting, artwork by Sabina Nore

So much of our life happens on a digital canvas nowadays that it is only natural that art, such as the art of painting, has extended to include and express itself through the digital medium, bringing us digital fine art (or new media art) – an exciting, non-linear possibility of self-expression.

And so I have switched over.

I may still paint an oil painting here and there, but my main focus is most assuredly on digital paintings.

The finished artworks are printed on fine art paper or canvas, depending on the artwork itself. Limited edition prints, naturally.

Digital art means infinite creation yet it’s green too! Eco-friendly art has to be the art of the future.

The Transition from Traditional to Digital Painting

I have converted to digital painting very gradually. Read the rest of this entry »

Grimms’ Fairy Tales

My first photo post since September 1st! I think I might be a tad too critical in regards to photos, my own as well as others’. I don’t aim for a career in photography, I never have, so I’ll try to take my criticism down a notch or two.
