I am really grateful to Vivienne Neale who wrote this incredible article on contemporary art and me. I couldn’t agree more with her writings. Reasons for giving Gifts
There are many reasons why people buy or give gifts. First and foremost, it is the tradition to give gifts on occasions like Christmas and New Year. Another reason for giving gifts to others is that others are of value to us. Gift-giving occasions are opportunities to affirm one's personal bonds to loved ones. If you ask me I don’t think there needs to be a specific occasion to give a gift. It is just a way of showing affection that should happen all the time. Gifts are given to mark milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, and special events like the birth of a baby, graduations, retirements, baptisms and first communions. Gifts are given for accomplishments. We may also send gifts to reward another’s behaviour such as a promotion or some achievement. Online shopping stores like Etsy has a wonderful range of gifts at affordable prices. Through online shops you can even send presents to those who stay in another country.

Fantastic things are happening to me and I am very excited to share this news with you. First of all, Bare Hill Publishing are going to include some of my works of art in their book The State of Art Representation and Abstract VOL 2. This book seeks to explore the blurred edges of representational and abstract art, while showcasing some of the best artwork currently being produced by today's contemporary and traditional artists. For the first time I feel like my lifelong dream is becoming a reality. Also, I am delighted to say that I am working very closely with different art professionals on very exciting art projects that are going to take place this year in France and Greece. More details soon! I believe it`s just a matter of time until my work will gain international acclaim. In the next few months/years the value of my work will increase considerable. Hence my work of art is not just an artwork that you can only hang on your wall but it is a great investment. I was mentioning earlier about being generous this season. Therefore I will be offering a BIG discount on one of my works of art every week. So please check my website for this week's offer. Moreover for the first time daughter and mother comes together on one of the most well know online markets Etsy.

So are you ready to Celebrate this Season with me ? Show me! And last but not least... If you would see me working at my studio space you are very welcome to come and visit! Until next time I wish you a wonderful rest of the week and I am hoping to see you at the private view. I've known I was an alien since I was very young girl. I always did things differently and I couldn’t speak until the age of six. However now that I am grown up I feel more confused than ever. When I paint I go into a trance moment that I can’t control. No one taught me how to paint like I do and I have never copied anothers work. When I wake up from this trance I see shapes and forms on my canvas that I can’t explain. I can’t explain how I create those magnificent landscapes. My grandmother thinks that I have been blessed by God to show what Heaven looks like. So that is what I do. I share my vision about another world which may exist somewhere else.
This Season I want to be good! Because we are entering into the season of surprises and presents every week I will be offering a painting at a very affordable prize. Stay tuned as you could actually get one of my unique works of art for half prize. As my birthday is on Christmas day and because I really care about my fans I want to be very generous with you . Wow, it has been a crazy week for me! I made the decision to get myself ‘out there’ more so from now I will attend more private views and exhibitions. It’s a great way to check out just what is happening in this fantastic city and meet some exciting people too. Besides creating art, I wanted to dedicate my time to searching for impressive works and talking with all kinds of people who also love checking out what’s new.
My first outing was on the 15th of October when I went to see the incredible show at White Cube Gallery in Bermondsey. The work on display was by Larry Bell. I was blown away! Often I have been asked when was the last time I had seen an exhibition that really impressed me. I think I can probably answer that question now. (It was very tough for me to answer in the past because, and I hate to say this, I haven’t been impressed by a lot of work for some time. It seemed to me that many have been doing copies of other artists with a small twist and it was all beginning to look rather same-y if I am totally honest.) But Larry Bell`s work and his show have completely inspired me! Consequently there seems to be a lack of interest in searching for something really unique. Some curators, art critics and gallery administrators seem to have really lost their minds. How can you give a prize and so much power to an artist who doesn't have a sense of challenge, a love and courage for experiment, nor an understanding of colours? It seems like the knowledge of shape, the language of pigment and the romantic vision filled with soul seems to have vanished. Is everybody really talking about other people’s pains and not their own, because they know they have been lucky enough not to experience it? It’s just a thought. I think personally that if you don’t have that story then let the people whose pain is burning deeper create work. Exceptionally sensitive people are the only ones who can create something truly outstanding and authentic, in my opinion. Have we all forgotten who really helped us to reach this current stage? Who really inspired us to grow and push the boundaries? Who really taught us that there was no impossible and the possible is always within reach? Can you imagine what Michelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci would feel if they are looking down on us? How have we taken their genius creations to the next level? I think we all are going backwards and not forward. Where is the genius creativity? Anyway, lets go back to Larry Bell paintings. The way he played with the colorful papers and creating the illusion game of landscapes was incredible. He has got the understanding of social culture's needs. An artist who truly pushes the boundaries. Adding to all of this arty drunkenness suddenly I noticed in the crowd one of the most established artists right now. He was Sir Peter Blake, the Godfather of British Pop Art. I went across and told him how honored I felt to have met him. I asked him if he would mind having his picture taken with me and he kindly accepted. I offered him one of my business cards and he said smiling: “This is one of the most unique cards I ever seen.” That made me feel so proud. A few days later I went to see the Frieze Art Fair and the day after, The Other Art Fair. My opinions on that? more to come... Tomorrow ,the 11th of October, I am going to see Strarta Art Fair. If you would like to join me please send an email to laura_iosifescu@yahoo.com
The fair is taking place @Saatchi Gallery and I shall be there about midday http://strarta.com/ Shocking story!Shocking images!
The Romanian government right now are cruelly catching every stray they can see in every town and village and horrifically battering, poisoning and stabbing them to death. Tiny puppies, pregnant bitches NONE are being spared the barbarity.Horrible images,shocking stories!Lets do something about it! The Romanian Government and the European Parliament: End Romanias Government abuse of public funds chn.ge/1jJh891 via @change "I couldn’t stop crying when I heard from my mum what was happening in Romania. The government will pay 200 Euros per dog head. My mum was screaming on the phone while watching the horrific news on television. They were showing how dogs were killed live. How can you look into their eyes and take their life out of them? What gives us the right to kill them? They have as much right to survive as we do on this planet. Those dogs have more soul than so many of those people who stands for this crime." Laura Iosifescu |
