Face on Yellow Crying Red
Technique: Gouache
Original size: 10×14,5cm
from marina’s “Characters” © marina kanavaki
Note: As this is an original work, it is bound to have “imperfections”. In this case very few of them were retouched or cleaned, as I felt they added to the composition.

I enjoy the energy of abstract art, one can produce such enchanting pieces of art and allow the inner mind to focus on realism, and yet still embrace the fantasy that lives beyond the edge of reality 🙂 An awesome example here…

you haven’t tasted greek ones! Honestly, I was a huge fan of cadburys but I think our ION with almonds is one of a kind.

haha! thats very very kind of u , marina!
i got a feeling it would probably be held up in customs!
i really didnt know that there is such thing as greek chocolate…i always thought british stuff was the best!
i still love cadburys whole nut, fruit & nut etc!
last time i was in the uk, i went into sainsburys and bought several giant bars of whole nut….i think theyre about 30cm by 15cm…huge!
and i just put them in my suitcase amongst the clothes etc and got thru customs ok…!

Love the extreme close-ups with all the tiny cracks and other exciting detail. Yes, they all contribute to the dynamism of the work. There is no such thing as an imperfection in a Marina Kanavaki painting. I’m an art expert, and I know about these things… : )

I was wondering about that piece of red paper… was it printed, was it karmin or vermillion red, what did it taste like, its thickness and texture, did it have any message or drawing on, what was the prize of the bet and finally the expression of the challenger!! You do realize of course that the perfect response to the above would be a Mark drawing, don’t you?!!!! 🙂

Thank you. That sound pretty reasonable. I was looking at the long-sleeve dark colored “Paths of Color.” Those are your works? I was wondering if you had something a long haired hippie fellow, xl, might wear while jogging at three in the morning?
LikeLike
…three in the morning?!!! Actually, sounds like a great time – although [if I could pull myself out of bed] I’d go for 4. All trees and plants exhale as they awaken during that time – in short: best quality oxygen! Unfortunately Society 6 don’t have long sleeve tees [except hoodies] but if you have a look here [http://www.cafepress.com/marinasartshop/10357903] you’ll see a few [many sizes!]. Let me know what you think!

I was just looking at the Society Six and I don’t much care for hoodies. Back to the Art Shop. I didn’t know that about the trees and plants exhaling at that time. All I knew is that, due to that hour, there are not many people or vehicles out and so the air seems really fresh and clean. It is very peaceful. You should get up at three once a month and go jogging. Thank you for your reply.

This is different to what I have seen from you before – but I like it .. it’s very bold and powerful, full of emotions. Very powerful … mad and angry. Excellent. The color are just fantastic .. yellow and red in combination is the colors even more stronger. In Sweden Yellow stands for danger.
