My Artworks on my Facebook Page.

Artists found the social media network a good place for showcasing their artworks. They feel it is helpful in spreading information about their artworks and shows. A good tool to follow the art related activities and updates from masters to upcoming artists. And many times for developing links and networks. 

There is a serious issue how to show case artworks on a page. I have tried lots of experiments. 

For example 

1. Reduce the image size to 72 dpi and putting watermarks and just upload it to any gallery site or any social networking site. 

2. Some time I draw the borders and rest is same as mention above. 

And some time I like to show how it will look on a wall... 

I hate tagging the pictures where as I like to share it through groups. 

I try to avoid not to ask for favors in liking artworks but sure I encourage people to write comments as it is more important to me. 

The idea is that to reach maximum number of people in India and abroad without spending money but sure time is investment here. 

It feel good to watch the statistics of post and other informations. I find it encouraging as it gives me opportunity to reach that many peoples and I know that it would have not possible by any other medium or media. 

If the artworks been published by Galleries, it always have advantages as someone endorsing your skills. But how often it happens? But if you have every information at one place and time record of years, is what I feel is priceless. It record your artworks the environment, the problems, the topics, the series, the artist's mood, what happened when etc etc... The records of day by day, if not day by day than months by months..... or year by year. It feels important for me. 

Publishing artwork at particular time or particular day or year...gives you strength to fight for copyrights. People who will copy your artwork will have the date or time after you have created particular artwork. But sure there is risk of stealing ideas, that is what the risk is. 

It is up to us who have to decide, would we like to sit with our artworks resting at our home and no one to ever see it, or we would share it and arouse the curiosity of our techniques and skills and teach to the people who have similar taste and interests. We try to tell people that we are very much there and we are deeply involved in these activities. So it is us who have to decide it, no one can compel anyone to what to do and what to not to do...It is YOU who have to decide what you want. 

Hope this information will be useful!

Thanks.

Creating Works of Art

Creating works of art is difficult as to write a story, writing a poem and creating a song And writing for blog! :-) 

It starts with a question “how to start and where to lead it”. 

For starting artworks, the thoughts are needed. Then a process starts, it is like assembling required seeds of thoughts and kills are ground for seeding. 

It is important to know that art is a continuous process which has no boundaries and limits. It has to get started once and then it will just carry away from a day, to weeks, to months and till years. It feels like floating on the water of Ganges and letting water current takes us where ever it wants, like, “letting go!”. 

Why Ganges? Well because it has connectivity with spirituality and it connects earth with the universe. So, creating artwork starts with a connectivity from the universe and feeling of what which has been sent to us. It guides to carry on, stay, search and to stop. 

Once it connects, the brain storms with ideas, selecting strong ideas which gives solid base to our imagination. Then the skills are required to give it physical form. Many times it feels that the hands doesn't obey the mind's commands, by practicing, this gap can be reduced. Slowly by practicing a person achieves required skills to transform his/her thoughts to exact forms. Things get better when the artwork goes beyond that territory of the skills. 

When an artist feels freedom of expressing the thought, then his art has no weaknesses, no regulations, no rules, no, nothing, just purity of the thought prevails. It is the goal of an artist to achieve situation where s/he is carried away by his/her artworks.  

Then the works become works of art that had never been imagined, never been created and no where else rests, but in front of its creator. It is pure innovative process, a painful process and handwork of years, which is gift of god which has been given to human only. 

Such artworks can be discussed, can be talked for long time and more discussions shows, degree of mature artwork. So, creating artworks and explanation on them is important for the viewers. 

Artworks gets old with the time, they change purpose and reason according to the person who owns them. They give meanings to the surroundings where they are displayed. They create dialogs with the viewer and involve them emotionally. They are works of art. 

In this way artworks make the life of the artist satisfactory and accomplished.

*It is about art and it is not about the medium, which an artist mastered. The skills using some materials or techniques takes back seat*.

Thanks.

I will be waiting for your views, how you create artworks.

My First Blog Entry

Hello,

It has been a long time to think to create a blog, where I can share some writings on my works with some insight.....  Well now it feels this is the time when I need to move ahead from posting artworks on my Facebook page DrTriptiSingh . 

I have some 515 likes on my page in Facebook, why I need this blog . I feel there was some distraction and I am always in a hurry to post an image with minimal writing on it. Though I had explained some artworks in detail ....but fewer times. So I need this blog where I can write and share. 

My research interests are in Indian digital arts and I am curious to know and learn something new about it. It feels digital medium is soluble like water, which blend with other mediums so well that many times we don't have any clue that it has been created with the help of digital medium. It has many possibilities to explore and for experimentation with almost all mediums, stationary, methods and also with inter-disciplinary subjects.  Moreover it has advantage of a medium it self. 

Digital medium is considered as liquid in space  which is made up of bits and bytes. That is why it has scope of advancement and modification at most of the time ... We can increase and decrease the size. We can get it printed on most of the surfaces. We can also project it in empty space or wall. It is very convenient to store. It has advantages to share on internet through emails, websites, mobile, tablet etc.  We can send entries for applying for contests, exhibition applications or exposing artworks online, for all that we needed to change those physical artworks into digital.... these are few advantages.

Well why I am talking about the medium when it is least important than a thought or an idea or our motive to create something. It is all about human imagination, human perception and human expression which is express through some abc medium. 

So in this blog I like to explore and gather some information on how to express a thought or idea using different mediums. And also how I can describe my works of art. We will see it in future post! 

I hope this is a start of new (for me) creative and interactive journey with the world audience. 

Thanks.

Regards.
