Magic Art

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.

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 ...

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 ...

A 9cm x 15.5 cm hand layered resin bowl featuring 24k gold leaf, many colours and sprinkles of fairy dust, containing 44 blessings and much love. Made over three days end of December 2017 for a collector in Scotland.

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

A magic mix of amber, copal, resin and a little magic - AMBRYTE and the Magic Bowl of Blessings.

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

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

Use the 7 Energy Remedies game for healing and evolution by yourself, as often as you like, or play with friends, family and paying clients.

Art + Energy = MAGIC.

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" :-)

7 important things you need to know about the care and feeding of the mens, if you have mens in your life. 

So here we have the Magic Eggsercise - an egg, Art Solutions style, to empower a project or a goal. The egg is of course, a super-metaphor and works particularly well with the topic of projects and goals that have begun but have not yet "hatched" fully. 

A lovely energy art exercise that combines conscious attention, art - and magic :-)

Created Easter 2016 for the Energy Art group. 

Ah ... the mysterious mens! Are they art or are they magic? Are they tools or are they toys? Where did they come from and where will they go? These and many other questions ... :-)

"I come in love" - Rose Hand. This symbol hybrid is one of my favourites. It's a wonderful thing on so many levels.

Very romantic, too. 

Creating magical object which have the power to change the world is the purpose of art. 

Here are the latest Art Spells, codenamed "The Cupcakes" for November 2014.

Inspired by a spirited discussion about having a personal relationship with colour on the FaceBook Art Group today, here is something I made earlier - a HypnoDream, "Receiving The Colours."

A meditation on colour for artists. Turn off the lights, take a deep breath, and relax ... :-)

An End To The Starving Artist, Mixed Media/Acrylics on Canvas, 40"x30" Silvia Hartmann 2014

Casting The Bones or CTB is a primal magic device to navigate reality. But how do you evolve that?

That was a challenge which caused me to cast many, many bones ...
