The Portals of Thought- Doors

When we allow the doors of our minds to open, we walk throughthe portal of an experience. This slumber travel awaits us with memories, feelings, and much anticipation, of wonder. As a child, I had recurring dreams of doors leading to many rooms, tunnels, sometimes they would end with an erupt stop. Then I would open a new door, and this doorwould lead to a trap room, where I could not get out, it was only whenI would awaken, I would become free. There were a series of dreams thatcarried me…See More

Profile Information

Name: Sylvia Pekarek

Artistic Medium: Painting, Digital Art , Sketching, Ceramics.

Birthplace: USA

Influences: My Muse

How it all began...: In the 2nd grade, my parents enrolled me in after school art ceramic class. I was taken by art at that moment in time, and loved it since.

In the works...: My Gallery
POETRY & ART
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sylvia-Pekarek/183762204679

Down the road...: To learn the secret of life is art and fully understand it completely.

About me in general...: Artist Story: Sylvia Pekarek
I first realized that creating Art was embedded in the depths of my soul was when I was in the first grade, because I would arrive early to class just to fill the chalk board with my Art. I felt this was my way of observing the world and expressing my thoughts. I found Art to be my answer... Later on I attended San Francisco Academy of Art University, I studied and majored in Graphic Design, along with fine art classes.

My career in the Arts included teaching painting, drawing, 3d art, ceramics, and various arts and crafts classes. I was featured in the San Mateo paper as one of the lead teachers in the City Art program. One of the most rewarding moments in my life is seeing my students arrive early to class, (as I once did) with the sheer excitement and joy to work on "their Art." I can remember when I was seven, attending a ceramic class and loving the whole idea of being part of a creative class.

I believe the greatest visionaries show strength through their creative imagination process, this alone is so powerful. My personal view is that Art is the truest and purest form of communication. This process sets forth a clear translation of the "observation of the world."

I aspire my Art work to be spontaneous, momentous & dynamic, infused with the passion I have for life. I like to use mix media to bring forth the complexity of life's profound moments. I believe this helps bring depth into my work. At times I may start a painting, or sketch and then capture it into my computer to enhance it digitally. I am part of the "digital generation," it swims in my veins... I am like the pianist who uses the piano, to create music. I play the computer like an instrument and let the creativity flow as I work. I also love feeling the brush in my hand, stroking the canvas with pigments, I will never abandon that process completely. The computer allows my flurry thoughts to bring forth directness of intent, much more rapidly, capturing the moment.

if you could collaborate with/meet any artist, past or present, who would it be?: Leonardo da vinci, a true visionary a Renaissance man.

Artwork : Haunted & Poem

Haunted by the billowing whisper of the trees

cruel indifference trails the heart full of appease

a dark force creeping closer, foretold by a lingering plea

masked with charm, you corrupt with a cold breeze

turmoil thickens, morning light cast you to the east

solemn is the night, dulcet calls are unleashed

I cry to the heavens, intrepidity becomes me

stonewalling the…

Thundering Solitude~

Vast solitude, with thunderous thoughts.

Seeking significance, in lonely distraught.

Vault faded, branches of truth, jaded.

Taking flight, to the whisper of the trees.

Sky blue speak to me, preserve my plea.

Haunted reflection of the significant.

Echoing winds, calling my senses.

Thoughts soaring above defenses.

Fading into you, fading into…

Awaken by Roar (Poam & Art)

I was dreaming, I was awaken by stir

a stir of lingering magic, sailed by like blur

hypnotic dance that flowed in the sky

in the mist of this waltz I felt a spy

violent was this wind, that stroke the center of my core

I felt the danger, looming, present, brooding, roar

my heart thumped, my…
