Here I am! Hi everybody :)
What about me...Well,I'd love to make my living a pleasant and fruitful experience:I have always liked to paint and make drawings, but I never went to any school.
I love to write, and I like to express my soul in as many ways as I can think of...I don't consider myself an artist, though:I just love art. For more about me, just click here and visit my site.BIOI was born in Firenze, 17th of April 1977.
I am fond of everything which celebrates life and humanity:from writing, to painting, to music till sports and nature, all that captures my attention becomes an interest of mine.
If I'd die tomorrow, I would feel my life has been a worthy one already, but for every day that passes, I feel always more curious about it.
To be an artist (although I don't consider myself so,) means to have a personal vision about all that happens, equally outside than inside.For me it means also to try to connect with other's spirits in unexpectable ways and have an endless will of knowledge, and endless will to discover and test yourself and everything else, without fears, but with all possible emotions in the quest, and from the quest.
The world around it's therefore the best inspiration, all that is into it can touch the inner chords of my soul, although I can't say which way till it doesn't happen.And everytime it happens, it's a reveal, a miracle, and the vibes are the best one can feel.
Then sometimes I watch the blue sky, and I give shape to my heart and mind, and I float around... and smile for my live is really like I want it to be.
I have temporarily suspended my career as University Researcher, testing myself as Administrative Manager right now, and I still asking myself if what I got finally was awareness or disillusion, but anyway, it's my attitude to never regret anything that I made consciously.Let's give life a new try.
I am very fond of Foreign Cultures, they enlarge also my artistical perceivement of life, and it's something I find absolutely enriching.
I have never learnt English, so forgive me if I am not good at speaking nor writing it.
I can speak and write in French, I can read Spanish, I know Ancient Latin and Greek.
And of course, I am Italian so, my Mother Tongue has got no mystery for me.
Hooray for Dante! ;)

This is outstanding! The composition, the colors, the emotion are all so very strong. Beautiful interpretation of the myth!

"6 months in hell and 6 months in earth i shall remain" said Persefone, due to her mortal inmortality, linked to hades but so closed to her mother... youve captured the esence of those seassons, the "hot" side of the life on 6 months on the earth and the "cold" of the dead from hell, and the love and hate, the happiness and the frustration of a mother that has her daughter back with her, but only the half of time of her existence. You improved a lot too with psp painting!!! -I agree too with abmlober, the diagonal composition is perfect, like dividing two worlds so separated but at the same time so close that they can touch each other. Thanks for all youve done for me, your words opened some unknown ways on my mind See you soon !!

Absolutely stunning image!!! You've got my vote.
Tanialmeida
awesome work! amazing colors! beautifull composition!
jrulier
Excellent!
abmlober
What a nice post :-) I think you got the contrast between fire and ice very well. The diagonal composition, the low saturation of the cold colours - all seems very good to me. But as always - I would love to see the original sketch posted here :-)
crrunchyfrog
A beautifully vibrant version of the original sketch. I can't wait to see more of your PS images! (((hugs)))

I see a dream... The colors here are essential to show the contrasts. Perfect background. Beautiful !

The most sensual passions are really difficult to convey, the hand cradled within her hair is a painting in itself. Excellently done and the subject is something that I'm just now exploring.
Barbarellany
Meli, this is wonderful. The boldness of color perfect in conveying the emotion of te piece. Your PS skills are improving quickly!
Heart'Song
I think it's stunning! The bold colouring works, and you've captured the essence of the duality so well with your perfectly placed strokes.
nagishiva
It looks great. A nice contrast to the December Theme. Now it's humans and mythology and so colorful.. :) Shows the wideness of your skills. :) So great...again. :) :)
gallimel
I thank you all SO much :) I am glad that you can see some positiveness in my strong colours, and also that a more expert eye than mine can say that I am improving :) I try, and as always, all your help is greatly appreciated :) See you on Monday, I leave for the weekend :) Keep enjoyin this and all the rest :) Hugs :)

Meli, you already know how much I love this image... I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love seeing it in color! My breath fails me once again.

This has always been one of my favorites, now it is even more inspiring. The color selection is wonderful, and the whole picture is just exsquisite. Heather

Beautifully drawn and the vibrant colours add a world of depth. The clear divison between warm and cool, the classical pose of the figures themselves and the gentle ( and if I may add ambigious) interaction between the two figures...it goes beyond the myth and re-creates a story all of it's own.
Synapse
So intimate and so full of pathos. I like Persephone's tousled hair draped over her face... so much suffering is shown here. I can see the connection with the Japanese style, particularly the vivid yellows :-)
jgeorge
Meli! This is beautiful... and the colour are so fitting with the scene and the story...
borsy
Beautifully done!!!!
esp

Whitemouse
Besides your excellent work I like the way you explain them. They have a story and it's wonderfull, I can see further than lines and colours. Thanks :))
FantasioX

tallpindo
The colors and their value ramps define the image very clearly without loss of human dimension. You can be pleased with this effort.
linkinpark

I think, i am not the only one, who wanted to convince you, to work with colors. Thanks god, because you have a great feeling for colors. It is amazing to see, how fast you are learning. I think not far away, I'm your Pupil, not your Teacher.
