How crazy is this? I wonder how someone can actually achieve something so beautiful. This piece really speaks to me, maybe it's just the music in the background, but I just love watching this piece come alive.
Silvia Pelissero (online alias: agnescecile) is an Italian watercolor artist (goddess?) who showcases her work, for the most part, online. My favorite thing about her is that she does these speed-paint videos of her work, which gives her piece undeniable character and emotion that may not have been present other than in its creation.
She makes me want to become a better artist. I watch her videos whenever I am in a rut, and without fail, I become inspired. Silvia has become a lucky charm for me almost, giving me luck in my artistic journey. Her videos clear my head better than a long walk would, and all of these ideas start to flow in. Would I say her work has influenced mine? Yes. I don't think one could cite a direct correlation between her work and mine, but her style and emotion has definitely become part of who I am and what my art has become.
One day, I'd like to think of myself as highly as I regard Ms. Pelissero. She is basically my idol.
I know my art teacher, Mr. Garrott, will find the floating faces with dripping watercolor to be cliche, but Silvia had it going on first, hands down.
