Silvia's Energy Art Blog

Searching for a glass of water photo illustration? I've been needing these for ages and there are surprisingly few pictures of a simple glass of water online outside the paid for outlets. So today I have decided to bring water to the world! You can use these images of glass of water without attribution, free of charge, for any purpose. Have a glass of water on me! <3

Today, June 22 2018, I was looking for an Art Solution and my energy mind suggested I should do sparkling people on a midnight blue background. So I did. I started at sunrise and finished at sunset. It's a sculpture or an artefact that has a painted background. And it's called AWAKE!

As I was creating the paintings, I was also creating magic objects - magical tools for magical purposes. It was the exact same process which created both the paintings and the artefacts, and I made the comment on the energy art group that if I was exhibiting, I would exhibit both the paintings and the artefacts as they belong together.

I am just loving making Magic Mirrors! They are all lovely but this one is a whole new level of putting magic into an object.

This Magic Mirror is also an Energy Symbol sphere and when you lie it down flat, it becomes a Wishing Well.

The main ingredients are gold, copper and wood. Sapele, to be precise. It is  complete now and amazing in the sunshine.

Herzlich willkommen bei den Abenteuern der Mennchen!

You can hang a picture on the wall and that's wonderful - but nothing is quite as fascinating or as magical as a Magic Mirror. Mirror Mirror on the wall ...

Telling a story in pictures and in words to make the energy align and both tell the same story, broadcast the same energy, is a wonderful thing. Here is an example story board exercise, "My Life In Art." 

My homage to opalised ammonites in very modern materials - the Past, Present & Future piece of Modern Energy Art.

The Oceans of Energy Bowl of Blessings, energy sculpture, energy artefact by Silvia Hartmann. An example of Modern Energy Art that dares to have a very practical use ...

Andy Warhol used to own a golden telephone which was said to be able to contact God. I made a God Phone of my very own by accident ... or was it ..?

The Egg is a super-metaphor or meta-metaphor and a very powerful energy entity. I could go on about it for hours! The egg is also a symbol for change. For new beginnings. Tonight, I wanted to create a Dragon Egg ...

Having a really good relationship with your own energy mind is truly the foundation to having fun as a modern energy artist! There I was, feeling all flat and uninspired, looking at some pretty sparkling bits left over from another project on the work table, sighing and saying, "I don't know what to do with those ..." and my marp (hand with self awareness <g>) arranged the pieces for me to form The Crazy Creative Creature as I sat and watched this happening ...

Making this has made me very happy today! :-)

A list of energy art making its way to Wyntercon 2017 ...

One of the MEA apprentices asked the question, "I was looking at one of my paintings on the wall the other day and had this sense that it wasn't finished! But it's signed ... What should I do?"

The Sparkly Mermaid - an energy art symbol hybrid painting.

The Cosmic Egg - a symbol hybrid energy painting with a mind of its own ...

23 July 2017: Today, I'm going to get started on "Starman" - part of the Cosmic Energy Art phase, as well as my tribute to David Bowie's Starman song, which is the first record I have ever owned. "There's a Starman waiting in the sky ..." :-)

Decided to post the ongoing development of this painting as sometimes people think the final product just materialises magically somehow, when in fact it's a few simple steps that are taken, one after the other, to arrive at the finished work of modern energy art.

On an art group, a struggling artist asked, "What should I paint? What sells the best? Subject? Canvas size? Media? Colours? Style? Please help for I am desperate to sell something ...
