Silvia's Energy Art Blog

A collection of colourful creatures with energy and messages all of their own - stimulating the imagination, flowing free ... :-) Silvia Hartmann, October 2017

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 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 ...

Sometimes, a project just arrives like rain falling from a clear blue sky. This is one of those projects.

Energy remedies, magic energy potions, energy anti-venom, positive energy - here are the 7 Energy Remedies for energy body problems.

Art + Energy = MAGIC.

One of the core features of Modern Energy Art is definitely "the breaking down of the old barriers." Normal people are shockingly disconnected from art - from doing art (you need to be brainwash ... ahem, you need to study first for god alone knows how long before you get to call yourself an artist), to owning original art (that's only for rich/crazy people) and so many others beside.

Do your hands need energy healing? Do they carry old injuries and memories that transmit today in the strokes of the brush, the pen? If our art hands were fully restored, fully in flow, would our lines be smoother, would we make our mark with more confidence ...?

Yesterday, I finally finished a work of modern energy art that begun five years ago. It's an energy painting called "Project Sanctuary" and was done with the set up of, "Do whatever you will, dear energy mind!"

A collection of favourite photographs. Once in a while, interesting things happen when you do photography. I shall be adding to this as I go along.

I found a wooden box at the dump. It was very well used and contained a few small tubes of old oil paint. Before I even saw it, my spider sense took me to it, and when I touched it, I had a strong sensation of an artist who had loved to paint, especially landscapes and flowers. They must have died because they would have never thrown that box away whilst they had something to say about it.

Here is the story how the mens got into energy painting, energy art and art solutions and their very own energy art exhibition of their very own energy paintings! (And one sculpture!)

Collectively, they call themselves THE ARTMENS :-) - here is their work. 

Ammonites ... beautiful spirals ... magic spirals ... Here are Silvia's AmmoniteS.

Knowing that the first generation of modern energists would be gathering at the View Hotel in Eastbourne, UK, on November 11th 2016 for the first ever official Guild of Energists conference, I decided to make a special mens as a gift for each delegate.

The mens were made with lots of sparkles and when they were all on the tray together, it occurred to me that they were "The Little Energists" :-)

This could be my golden period or my golden age ... Nothing shines as bright as real 24k gold. No paint comes close. And I love the way it plays with the light. 

One of my favourite "Bonus Paintings" was Story Island (B) and it is true, I could not wait to get the space to create a full size symbol hybrid painting - Story Island. 

In 2014, I created an art solutions painting called "The End of The Starving Artist." Two years later, and having enjoyed the energy of that abstract energy art painting in my office every day, tremendously, it was time for an evolution. What next, we wondered? And a phrase from the freshly written artists resume became the answer for the new set up, the "title" - "For me, art was essential for survival, precious beyond price, deeply personal and more beloved than I have words to express."

How "finding your style" as an artist can lead to more freedom, rather than less - and some amazing experiences with the Bonus Paintings. 

* This might be useful for artists who are struggling to find their "style," so they can "brand their art" better to achieve better sales.
