the more realistick the more abstract

While learning to draw, I was taught to visualize all sides of the object (to see the picture from all possible viewpoints) Thus Art by Tomas reveals not the playthings but my diary. Some pictures may look similar to each other at first glimpse, yet there are no duplicates on my art blogs.Each new day discovers something new in already  familiar faces.


The more realistic the background (the viewer's identification with the picture) the more abstract artwork  looks.The picture of the flower becomes the portrait and the portrait silently blends  into contorting and refreshing  heavenly breath  Yet the flower do not disappear from the picture. It remains the obvious

silent path

digital painting silent path 2011 by Tomas Karkalas
This artwork is 80x69 cm in size - It is not large, yet the picture covers my whole life.That's the path of the thundering silent... Everything here is just possibilities (the visions of Tomas Karkalas). You may see as the scattered green spots as my stony path that leads me forward here.....
It would be fine to hear your opinion. What do you think about the application of the picture as my signature?

Lost in a spread of the color

I was looking at a color spread over my window and my paintbrush was moving as if out of itself. So the digital painting led me to the peaceful silence on the canvas that portrayed the homeland of the metaphors that were transforming all rubbish heaps by the road into something worthy the hot applause. Like the picture Photo Judgment on my art by Tomas blog
Art therapy gifted the meaning to my seeing the world, yet would my virtual crafts give any to you?
The question repeats the message of prior post chat overview - shares the same hope to be interesting and useful to you. That's all I can for today .The works of Tomas Karkalas are the knock on the eternities for today.

joy for show in sculpture park in Klaipeda

digital painting 'Joy for show'  2011 by Tomas Karkalas
The title of this post relates the picture (the overview of the heart) to the theme that was announced to the artists and will gather them next year. This painting points at sculpture park in Klaipeda indeed in spite of all its abstractedness. Yet I would like to expand these frames - to focus on joy for show (by the way, that too responds to the given theme if to ponder a bit deeper...)
So. The below was put while looking at the picture. Beauty of the flow of single spot into next to him humbugs into the forgetfulness of the whole picture. The way the colors spread on a canvas attracts the artists but is that not the delusion? Yes, the painting has the power to express the life, but can the paintbrush substitute the daily round? While looking, I saw lots of tiny spots but wished to introduce not the beauty of some spots but the magic of the light I am experiencing ...
Wow, the magic of color is above any discussion. Just look at the daydreamers on my art by Tomas blog . You saw quite different picture in spite of the same drawing, isn't it? As the Arthiker says, the fine arts wake up the thinking.

chat overview

You are free to recoil from the image below, yet it may be the fine arts, so is it worthy to hurry? Lets see

The above picture looks weary at first glimpse, yet it refreshes at once. That's confusing yet lovely. However even the famous artworks are powerless to replace the simplest chat on a street. The disappointed  canvases silently hang on the walls .... As I have written on "captivated by homeland hug" , the diary list (the message) and calligraphy (the perfection of outward shapes) are two different things. Which one you prefer? Why?

riderless sunlight

This painting has a story. I would like to share it with you...


Two buddies were walking in the forest. While one looked at the trees as the building material and was involved in the calculation of the imaginable profit, the other saw the heroes of his beloved fairy tales in each leaflet.
They differed in approach to life, yet they both rejoiced at the same picture. The riderless sunlight is above.

Due my health state, I put my eyes on a windowsill  and trained the eyesight to enjoy the mind travels.Such way life with some limitations became very adventurous - the continual guesswork.
What would be your response?

sleeping sunset

Sleeping sunset is the belonging of the shadow by the wall of a house in front of me. It looks at passersby with wonder, what was the cause for their movement in silence?
My digital painting may look like the meaningless abstraction at a glimpse, yet we all know that nothing happens accidentally. So what about this artwork is? 

I too wonder at passersby and our move without "hello!"...Is "Hi!" not the most desirable discovery on a road? That's above.

rescued art of Modus Vivendi

my thanks to Don Andrew from the Loop Connections for his help to see once again what was erased from my profile and the web by the hackers.


This slide showed the love that blossoms in the pictures of art therapy club Modus Vivendi in the hospital for people with psychiatric disorders (Klaipeda, Lithuania)
Silent shout of the pictures couldn't defend themselves but the help of Loop Connections rescued the wish to bloom from the death. Don Andrew sent me the link, where I can see the deleted files.
Now, we gratefully bow to Don Andrew.
The blog was erased by the hackers, but the love continues to address the world from Klaipeda.

nameless painting

nameless painting 2011 by Tomas Karkalas
Despite painting's knock on the heart, the post without words will be accepted as an empty post by the search engines. What else can I say? The above defined the title. By the way, the nameless fits to all works of Tomas Karkalas the best.

silent suspiration

The oral message deals with the interaction between people and therefore it looks omnipotent, yet such impression vanishes from site in modern times. The printing press swallows down current words. Though our thoughts may look impressively in print, factually nobody bother with yesterdays papers. Great news silently melt into trash and thus the unrepresentable dustbins hide lots of secrets. For example, Once upon a time here lived such Tomas who named himself the Art-hiker ....

cosy chat

It's good to smile. A smile is a good thing and therefore I like the cracked walls. They know the art of listening. While unbosoming  to the walls, you are always free from the fear to be interrupted with the counsels on how to live healthier and thus do not hide your tears.  Only the complete wreck breathe in each your word with real understanding. Such way the visually not attractive picks never hurt with the polite indifference but always comforts the heart. While the same sun shines to us all and we all are free to enjoy the light, the artistic expression of that pleasure has a cost that far exceeds the the work-less disabler's  possibilities to pay for the artistic materials. The wrecks know that and never judge any for the begging. So while looking at the wise walls my dark thoughts vanished from site at a glimpse. There is no wonder for I titled my photo the cosy chat. We both were visualizing the art showrooms that were inhabited by the colorful dreams in spite of the impotency to enter them.because of my financial poverty... Sorry for the sad ending, but this blog is my diary where I am free to question loudly what for do I continue to live? When will the Lord will take me home? Why do I need to face my inability to share my dreams and can talk just with the wracked walls?
Ah, lets smile. I can blog for a free. Is that not grand?

tutorial on joy

Lots of things are difficult to accept, yet all the problems can be healed easily. It is enough to go outside. When I did so, I just came into an awe. The sun was shining and the colors were talking - everything in front of my eyes preached to me. That enabled me to see my musings on art and life in the new light.

While the mirrors reflect the light, the artworks showcase what was grasped by the people. 
As the specular surfaces as the pictures are just the tools, the helpful implements  to us in dealing with our personal emotions.  The approach to the things we have teaches people the spiritual priorities and thus enables them to accept their tears for various misfortunes as the supplies of the artistic materials for the embellishment of the life they have.
Such way the material well-being ( the abundance of the mirrors on our walls) help people to recognize the true values. It is the sun that  fills the hearts with the gratitude and  lights up people with a smile. That's the divine grace.

Picture and its definition

Our thinking colors everything we look at, thus each view reports our dreams, yet the words resist to that elementary (our talking creates the possibility of being something un-related to the topic) and thus give a birth to a nonsense. 
THE HOLEY SHROUD - 2011
The titles At the door and self-portrait differ between, yet is it thus indeed? I can either accept the message of my holey shroud or laugh at such definition of the artwork above. However, would that change anything? Each of us is free to a self-deception That is the freedom of our will.

quick sketch

quick sketch
Quick sketch deals with the visual poetry and thus talks more than the profound complaints for the temporal hardships. That is fine art of being - my diary.

Light breaks through the walls

photo story LIGHT BREAKS THROUGH THE WALLS by Tomas Karkalas

The photo story shows clearly that light breaks through the walls.These are the inspiring news, isn't it? Therefore I trust the visual poetry . That's the art therapy, the main message of my creativity. See the hopeful passage about art and life metamorphosis.

interpretation of the bird of passage

My pocket easily contains the space between my bed and window towards the world. The above painting is a key to that metaphor. Meanwhile the truth is - the globe map sparkles with the locations of my art visitors. So how much is 2x2?
It would be easy to count the blogs I have, yet such maths would lead the reviewer astray, because the real source of inspiration is the number of comments below a post.you are reading now.

The need of embellishment of  what you will read here is the perfect art therapy ... It is our communication that gives a meaning to musing on art and life and transforms the withered flowers into the colorful piece of still-life.
Beauty of the visions results in a  shame to complain for the current misunderstandings and thus it pushes my daily walk into the message on between the lines of a diary. Such way the metaphors embellish the silence of my room and give a birth to a mystery. Have a look at the picture Bird of Passage. 

Now I hope you will see for yourself - the unemployed disabler mused on life as one in authority and did that with the confidence despite his factual illiteracy....Was that not a magical transformation?
Plus all the above is just a tiny part of the thoughts that came while looking at the picture of this post. Just a blurred photo in disguise as the watercolor art ... that my wish to be a man who has what to share with you and the grateful acceptance of my total dependence on the divine grace.

The cast ashore

This digital painting is my road-map. The plasticine hero embellishes art by Tomas and teaches me trust in tales to endure with love.
