Si todavía no crees que no existen restricciones matéricas para desarrollar la creatividad visual, queremos contarte de esta serie cerativa que como principal ingrediente ocupa simple sal de mesa.

Hablamos de las creaciones del artista visual Dino Tomic, quien desarrolla ilustraciones con cloruro de sodio en polvo, el mismo que se utiliza para dar sazón y equilibrio a los alimentos. La sustancia se coloca sobre fondos negros y las manos creativas del artista se encargan de colocar los granos de manera que se forman las figuras deseadas.

Así, Dino logra retratar ojos, mandalas, flores, corazones y otras piezas con gran realismo,  detalle y una característica más: las imágenes semejan fotografías en negativo a las cuales, si se les aplica un efecto visual de positivo, como a las fotografías, se pueden apreciar como se tratara de una buena impresión fotográfica.

A través de Instagram es posible apreciar la labor de este creativo que nos recuerda que la existen límites de material cuando se quieren expresar buenas y complejas ideas artísticas. Conoce un poco de trabajo de este artista a continuación.

Inverted SALT eye I hope its not to confusing , but i turned on/off the inverted effect while i work in this video so that you can see what im doing ( get a better understanding of it ) As always the full/ long video is on my facebook / youtube page =) I heard people saying terms like : taking it to the next level : with what i did here but is art not about finding new and interesting things ? Thats what im trying to do with every project i undertake ( almost every ) limits are only there to be overtaken – and as i write this im already planing to step it up again and do it even more advanced by adding another element that will shake things up =) Im all about pushing , testing and experimenting with new things – wanted to give it a go and see what i could do if i would combine the two techniques i practice =) The eye you might also recognize , its my own eye – and i used it for a art competition once few years back ( it was drawing hundreds of times by some of the most incredible artist )

Inverted Salt heart The picture you see here is the Inverted version of the heart done entirely with regular kitchen salt on a black carpet and if you look at my profile and see the second post you can see the Normal version . The reverse colors effect shows what the original picture really is =) If you dont believe me find an app/ program and invert the image yourself and see what happens =) The main idea of this project will be visible in the video , once i finish editing it =) For the people complaining that i waste salt : for all the projects i have done until now i have used about 20 kg of salt ( and yes i reuse it as much as i can ) while we here in Norway use 238.000 tons of salt per year to defrost the roads ( i know its not the same fine processed salt i use / but salt nonetheless ) – im trying to say there is no shortage of salt in the world , and im not trying to wasting it – so try not the be a hater =)
