Handmade Jewelry - Grand Prize Gold Medal Winner Necklace "Reef"

2011-10-11T12:16:00.000-04:00

Grand Prize Gold Medal Winner Necklace “Reef” by EZARTESA.

I am very excited to share with you, that my handmade necklace “Reef” won Grand Prize Gold Medal in Fire Mountain Gems and Beads (seed bead) jewelry contest.
This necklace is my favorite; it’s bold but very wearable and versatile. It took me many hours to create it. Best of all, I had fun in the process.

For me beading is an art that explores the blending of color and texture, searching balance between shapes and forms. I love experimenting with new materials and produce age-old beauty; rather gold or silver, glass seed beads are used to create a unique one of kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings. This departure from traditional metals allows for a synthesis between texture and form. Additionally, the use of glass seed beads leads to coloration that would rarely be pursued or achieved with metals.
I am particularly interested in the matching of color between stones, creating thematic handmade jewelry of greens, blues, yellows and grays. The connections between the gemstones, crystals, pearls and glass seed beads are very important for me; if stone is translucent or semi-translucent, I love to use color lined and silver lined seed beads in design, around opaque stone cabochons I use opaque, opaque matte seed beads and just a touch of metallic beads.

When I design, for me are very important good structure, balance and composition of stones in jewelry peace. I love combining different color natural stones and crystals, and making beautiful color palette. When you first being to select stone combinations you will inevitably be drawn to your favorite stones, but if they do not enhance one another in your intended jewelry design, they will not look an attractive to eye. I think the success for good jewelry design is three factors: color, form, and texture.

One of the questions I am most frequently asked is “Where do you get your ideas from?”

For me, nature is the most important creative force in my work. Inspiration may come from observing an individual flower, leaf pattern, or the much wider picture of an interesting landscape, seascape. The interesting people, inspiring places , the sandy beaches of cape cod, and all creatures of underwater world – all have influence both my life and my art. If my handmade jewelry could talk, it would sound like the stories and poems about beauty of nature and human being.

I think beadwork can be enjoyed either as striking art-to-wear jewels or appreciated and displayed as independent art objects that possess the ageless qualities and beauty of heirloom treasures.

Underwater World - Watercolor Painting

2010-11-16T21:31:00.000-05:00

Watercolor painting of Underwater World

I always was inspired by underwater worlds, especially by coral reefs - one of the most inspiring creations of life on earth.
For me coral reefs symbolize the essence of the sea. With this watercolor painting I wanted to create a fantasy painting of corals and sea creatures. I painted American Lobster next to giant gorgonian coral simply just because I liked color combination of yellow, oranges, reds, and greens. It looks like lobster is captivated by the beauty of coral too, and he is reaching with his lobster claws the flowers of giant coral.
Two seahorses symbolize relationship and love.
I would frame this painting in simple black frames with white mat.
I imagine this painting in beach house bedroom, white, cream cottage style bed, and black bench toped with teal, red, brown, white pillows…

Drawing Art of Wild Horses

2010-07-27T06:55:00.000-04:00

I take painting and drawing art of wild horses seriously and passionately.
I think the understanding of the principals of light and shadow is a very important step in drawing and painting, and true understanding of light and shade comes with the practice of doing it, and of cause understanding it.

In figure drawing art, confidence is very important. In this drawing the outlines, features and shadows beautifully meld together.

I imagine this drawing for blue brown décor, with rustic details and old classic furniture. This art for home decor available for sale.

How To Decorate With Floral Paintings

2010-06-21T07:46:00.000-04:00

How to decorate with floral paintings
When I think of art I think of beauty, I fill the canvas with flowers to express an abundance of life and strong feeling. Flowers are a daily reminder of beauty,
decorating with floral paintings is a lot of fun. In traditional monochromatic, light color interior, choose neutral tone flower paintings.

Give a little bit a drama to the room with grouping them together, group of three or two monochromatic floral paintings in any room is dramatic and fresh.

Striking color paintings of flowers offers an artful way to bring blooms into any room.

I imagine this sunflowers painting next to green sofa topped with pillows in sunny shades of yellow and apricot to reflect colors of sunflowers.

Decorate With Colorful Watercolor Abstract Painting

2010-06-17T07:26:00.000-04:00

Art collectors asking me - give me some ideas on interior designs.
When you feel sadness or stress, think pink, candy colors like a sweet treat can help to feel uplifted and soothe anxiety. Pink could bring to the room not just warmth and sweetness, but and sophistication.
I created this floral watercolor painting at one cold winter day, when I daydreamed about my summers spent at my grandmother’s house. I remembered my grandmother’s gorgeous garden of peonies. The most beautiful ones were red and candy pink peonies.

When I started creating painting I decided to put red peonies in first plane in more detailed style, and pink in background in more abstract style.
With this modern art flower abstract painting you would create warmth and excitement to living room, and sweeten up your dining room. Pair pink with black or brown to give a room little bit drama and sophistication.

How to Create Peaceful Environment For Your Home

2010-05-22T07:31:00.000-04:00

How to Create Peaceful environment for your home

I think every home should be peaceful and relaxing.
You may feel more relaxed when you surround yourself with objects that remind you about something nice. You may feel more peaceful and centered when you surround yourself with objects that express your cultural heritage. For some, a cozy and colorful cushion, soft blanket and interesting artifacts gives warmth, comfort and reassurance.
Peaceful environments are reminder where we have been and where we are going. I think, our favorite artwork serve us as symbols of safety and bring reassurance during stressful times.
Put your favorite works of art where you spend the most of your time when you relaxing, reading book, listening music….
Make important, meaningful symbols the focal point of your rooms. Arrange your family photos on your office table, treasured heirloom or a favorite painting next to fire place. Forget what is beautiful for others; choose colors and meaningful things that are uplifting for you and your family.
I did this commission painting for my clients; they have a wonderful, very artistic house, beautiful and peaceful inside and out.

Nature is a very important source of inspiration in my work. Nature is always beautiful and inspiring.
This modern watercolor painting I did when I spend a beautiful evening at Provincetown beach, waiting for sunset. It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Ocean Treasures
After spending all my morning waking at the beach, I had a vision of an ocean inspired necklace. I was seduced by warm palette of seashells and cool colors of water. I gathered some shells, beach glass, and went back to my studio.
In this necklace I decided to use natural ocean jasper cabochon (when worn, ocean jasper emits a gentle nurturing energy), natural white coral cabochons (helps promote balance and modesty). I used opal sea green, opal moss green, opal ivory, opal tan silver lined seed beads, coral, mother-of-pearl natural beads, and Czech glass.

Designer Jewelry With Sunny Amber

2010-04-12T07:36:00.000-04:00

Designer jewelry with sunny Amber.

I am inspired by the natural radiance of amber, and its warm and golden tones. Amber is fossilized tree resin, over 50 million years old. While amber can be found throughout the world, the finest comes from the southern shore of the Baltic Sea.
Baltic amber is referring as the “Gold of the North”. In 16th-18th century, necklaces, bracelet, watch cases, buttons, boxes, and even luxury interior fittings were made using amber. Amber was acclaimed to posses the power of healing.
True Baltic amber usually is milky and pale under the crust and occurs naturally in a variety of colors: yellow, white, red, brown, and black. Green and blue are most rare.
I got this beautiful, like a sunshine amber stone, and decided to design a gorgeous bracelet. Like you see, amber is nicely complemented by gold and warm earth tones.

Original Watercolor Art

2010-03-28T13:50:00.000-04:00

Original Watercolor Art
Watercolor is a delightful medium to use and it offers a great deal of potential for all kinds of subject matter. For me, appeal of watercolor lies in the way that it can be applied in subtle washes (a ‘wash’ is a thin layer of translucent watercolor paint) to capture the transient effects of light and mood.

I like to use watercolor in a more controlled, detailed way.
For this playful painting I had chosen greens, blues, that represents harmony, red - joy, luck, happiness, orange and burnt sienna to bring warmth to the painting.
I use hand made, archival and PH neutral watercolor paper by Arches or Winsor & Newton.
