Pause. Reflect. Remember. History has lessons to teach. #LestWeForget
Just because I'm from 🦇Transylvania, 🦇 the mythical place of #Transylvania.🦇 #Halloween #HalloweenArt #SurrealArt #SurrealArtist #TransylvanianArtist
Nothing says #Halloween like #HalloweenArt! 🕸 I took a stab 🔪 at creating this piece #Typhoon and I quite like the results. If you watch closer, you'll see the finer details such as the pulsing veins adding to the intensity. Enough to give anyone a sleepless night. Celebrating the twisted and the terrifying, this category of art delivers big on the tricks & the treats; so turn on a torch 🔦 and👣 check out #Typhoon now on view at @leighgalleryuk in the window 👀 guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine. Wishing you all a spooktacular season! 🦇 'Typhoon', Original canvas print, framed at #LeighGalleryUK . . #CristinaSchek #Surrealart #SurrealArtist #fineartphotography #mixedmedia #richmond #richmondart #teddingtonartist #interiorDesign#interiorswithart #homeinterior #homedecorating #designinspiration #instadecor #houseandhome #interiorandhome #Interiorwarrior
THANK YOU for an amazing ART FAIR! Thank you Abigail @landmarkartfairs for organising it so well and putting such massive work into this! Thank you to all my family, friends, collector and supporters - it would not be possible without you. 🙏 My first art fair has been a success and has put a big smile on my face (no emoticon, imagine my smile!). Onwards! ▶️⏩▶️♾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was an immense honour to exhibit in the architectural gem that is #LandmarkArtsCentre @landmarkartscentre. My work couldn’t have been exhibited in a more suited place than a French #Gothic style cathedral! And such a historical place, too. Designed by local architect William S Niven some 130 years ago, the church was formerly known as St Alban's Church. (You’ll find Niven’s name engraved on the external wall at the west end of the south aisle wall). In an effort to build a massive church, based on the #NotreDamedeParis @notredamedeparis and, though never designated as a cathedral, St Alban’s was known informally as "the Cathedral of the Thames Valley." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And my most #surreal #AHaMoment happened when I found out what happened here in 1985 💥💥💥💥 the filming of the video for the song #TheSunAlwaysShinesOnTV, by the amazing A-ha Band @officialaha @mortenharket 😍💥💥💥💥💥🤘. Watch the video here: http://bit.ly/LandmarkArtsCentre ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👁#Stand73IsSomethingElseToSee.👁
This might just be the perfect piece of art that can help you detect an earthquake at the exact time it is happening (!!). Pretty cool, huh? And a gentleman just told me this doubles as "Health & Safety Art & anyone should have one." In the meantime, check out the kaleidoscopic #SilkScarf accompanying the art. #WearableArt is something I really love! . . . . . She's at the @landmarkartfairs 10am-5pm today & tomorrow. #Stand73IsSomethingElseToSee 👁 . . . . #CristinaSchek #Surrealart #artfair #aaf19 #SurrealArtist #fineartphotography #mixedmedia #aaf #richmond #richmondart #teddingtonartist #interiorDesign#interiorswithart #homeinterior #homedecorating #designinspiration #instadecor #houseandhome #interiorandhome #Interiorwarrior

#Gloomth is proving very popular with the crowds @landmarkartfairs. Come see its golden shades in a real size #Gothic Cathedral. 10am-5pm, Saturday & Sunday #Stand73IsSomethingElseToSee 👁 The inspiration for this work came after a visit at The #StrawberryHillHouse @strawbhillhouse, #HoraceWalpole’s little Gothic Castle, where he wrote ‘The Castle of Otranto’ – generally regarded as the starting point of all #GothicFiction. Printed on the first private printing press in the country at Strawberry Hill, it was the inspiration for #MaryShelley’s #Frankenstein, and the tales of mystery and imagination by #EdgarAllenPoe also descended from Walpole’s bizarre fantasy. This is the main entrance into the castle, and Walpole had designed it so that the hallways were deliberately kept dark (lit by one candle only) to create an atmosphere of medieval “gloomth” or “golden gloom”, as he called it – not melancholy, but the golden warmth of cathedrals. Horace Walpole is also credited with coining or introducing over 233 words into English, including: airsickness, fairy tale, falsetto, frisson, impressario, malaria, mudbath, serendipity and souvenir. . . . #CristinaSchek #Surrealart #artfair #aaf19 #SurrealArtist #fineartphotography #mixedmedia #aaf #richmond #richmondart #teddingtonartist #interiorDesign#interiorswithart #homeinterior #homedecorating #designinspiration #instadecor #houseandhome #interiorandhome #Interiorwarrior #sold
