| About the Artist |
I love art because it opens the heart, spirit and mind. Art that blurs the line between abstract and representation is a favorite of mine. I am fascinated by color and never tire of using its endless possibilities to explore variations on composition and theme. |

Echoes of a Portrait of an Imaginary Woman
© 2009 Ivana Redwine Digital Painting Digital Print Available in a Variety of Sizes - See Website at http://www.redbubble.com/people/ivanar/art |
|
This is an abstract color study and is part of a series of abstract faces. I used one of my paintings of an abstract face as the original source of departure for the series. As I digitally manipulated the image of the painting, I was inspired by the colors of joyous dreams and fauvist paintings.

Branches, Purple-Tinged Bark and Joyous Sky #1

|
I started with a photo I took of a tree. When I took the photo, I wanted to capture the tree’s sculptural qualities. Later, I digitally manipulated the photo to create a more emotive, subjective work. I imagined what that particular tree might look like if it were depicted as an image that was halfway between a photograph and a painting.
A hybrid of photography and art, this work blends what was captured in a photograph with digital artistic manipulation, creating a picture of what previously existed only in my imagination.

Branches Cascading Downward Gone Fauve #2

I used a photo I took as a starting point and digitally manipulated it, creating a hybrid of photography and art. Fauvist art fascinates and inspires me, so it is not surprising that my use of color here is emotive and subjective. |

I used a photo I took as a starting point and digitally manipulated it, creating a hybrid of photography and art. The image became more abstract as I worked on it. Fauvist art fascinates and inspires me, so it is not surprising that my use of color here is emotive and subjective. |
Map of an Imaginary World #3

When seen in larger view more details can be seen, including patterns of numbers behind the veils of color. The numbers are reminiscent of coordinates on a map. The idea of adding them came to me in a dream after I created the first two works in this series.
This is an abstract color study and is part of a series that uses the idea of maps of imaginary worlds as inspiration.

Joyous Sky Through Complex Branches #1

|
I used a photo I took as a starting point and digitally manipulated it, creating a hybrid of photography and art. In the original photo, the way that the branches framed the sky into a faceted pattern already had abstract elements in it, and I used that to spark my imagination. Using color in an emotive, subjective manner also helped to abstract the image. |

Map of an Imaginary World #1

This is an abstract color study and is part of a series that uses the idea of maps of imaginary worlds as inspiration.
The origins of this first image in the series came out of my digital manipulation of one of my photos of trees. Originally, I was thinking of creating an image I could use primarily as a texture. But it soon took on a life of its own, especially when color was added. As I continued to abstract the image, I thought of color transforming a map of an imaginary world. When I look at the finished image, it reminds me of the way the ground below looks when seen from a plane. It also reminds me of abstract landscape painting.
