Elin Egoyan aka Maripel aka Marijke Pel
Elin lives in The Netherlands with husband, 2 sons and 3 cats.
My artistic life started about 20 years ago with a pencil, soft pastel crayon and my fingers as tools. Finally after a long time ignoring my desire to draw (teenagers are busy with far more ‘important’ things of course:)) I gave in and,… was lost! I really got the hang of it!
In pastel crayon I found soon satisfaction in making ethnical portraits. The challenge to make them almost photographic was high, and came out as I liked it. As example I took photo’s that triggered me. A look or expression in the faces or simply how someone sat or did was enough. I took what I found important and let out what was not essential. If you are interested to see these pastels you will find some of them in ZRM Gallery. (see my picks)
But the smell of oil paint was calling and it did not take very long to change my direction. First oil paintings, but because of my impatience ( it takes sooooo long before oil paint is dry) I started soon after that with acryl paint.
Looking back I see that my subjects often expresses things of (my) life. Things were I am thinking about, a feeling or emotion. I try to tell that in bright and harmonious colours and painting with my intuition and inner emotion as guide, I let myself float with the motions and colours. Normaly starting a painting and not knowing were it ends.
When I came to Second Life, one of my main goals was to have my own gallery and show what I made in RL. In those 3 years I found so many satisfaction in being creative in more ways SL offers. The landscaping, the building,… the drive to make creations better and better.
Very careful I stepped recently on the artistic SL-road and make digital art and vases. And so my SLigital art and RLainting art and life’s meet and unite to something were I am very happy about.

KABLOOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was invited to particpate the exhibition Kabloom, I felt this was a challenge to make digital art with a theme as a guideline. Luckely the subject was a good choise. Every artist can find something in it.
I took the Egyptian symbol KA, what stands for life force. This force is something every living souls will reach at (reaching hands) Also you will find the Ankh symbol in this artwork, what has more or less the same meaning as the KA. The color choise just happend intuitive. Strange because normally I am more atracted to warm colors like red orange and yellow. Clear will be that the turning vortex in the middle has to draw the life force to one point preparing you to a bliss experience.
Take a look at the Kabloom exhibition
PERSPECTIVES

Perspectives is a contest organized by Figbash Snook. He asked several artists to make an artpiece based on a picture he send them. The picture did not tell me so much. So it was hard to get something done what tells a story or expres a feeling.
