IN-SIDE-OUT Open House Party - A Success! →

Wow, Thanks to all the 70+ people who made it out to our party to help celebrate!  The last guest left at 5am!!  

Martin, Donald and I are stoked we were able to share with our family, friends and fans all the works we've created in the amazing 2 years of productivity in our Atelier!  Thank you very much to those of you who also purchased paintings from me!  You all Rock!  (link to more PHOTOS)

Cristina Countas & TAM!k0 Art

Weaving the Magic-Artist Synergies.

 I was frantic working in my studio when out of the blues I received a Skype call from Cristina.  I was spending days in and days out, long months on end prior to an upcoming exhibition, working endlessly on my 5 Element Series.  It was something so deep within me I was very eager to put on canvas visually how I was feeling inside about metamorphoses or how I found "nothing is constant but the change".  Well, from what I'm writing, you can believe it then when I was at first totally oblivious to what Cristina was telling me (maybe it was all the mixed media fumes getting to my head)... After I zoned back into and onto this planet, Cristina then told me what she had scecretly made just for me.  I couldn't hold back the tears.  A few days laters, just as she promised, I received then her surprise pre-birthday package containing one of the most amazing hand made gifts I had ever received:  a felted silk scarf with superfine Australian merino woven shawl is so lovingly handmade by Cristina Countas in her atelier in Cypress. She had taken 2 of my paintings she liked and creatively transferred the colors and look into another medium!

Wearing her work and being wrapped in such beautiful colors, textures and patterns, I feel like ART itself, it makes me feel proud and special. Thank you so much Cristina Countas at www.cristinacountas.com for helping me make my Opening Night on 22.Nov.2013 at my Baden-Baden Exhibition extra special!  

About Cristina Countas' Designs:  All work is hand crafted using only the finest quality materials, superfine Australian merino wool, 100% pure silk chiffon, silk paj, silk organza and silk tops. The timeless elegance and originality of the collection is enhanced by long lasting quality (each item comes with an aftercare label).

Sneak Preivew of Wu Xing - Open Studio Day

Like a good Japanese, I've master the JIT (Just-In-Time) principles!

 After arduously working months on end, I am very pleased and proud to share with you my newly finished works Wu Xing or "The 5 Elements."  There was a lot of emotions going on whilst creating these pieces.  I'd love to meet with you and answer any questions you might have about these works and processes.  I'd love to show you around my studio too.  

Hot Coffee & Cakes will be plenty and my doors will be open to all from 

  • Fri 15.11 - Thurs 21.11
  • 10:00-18:00 or by appt  (mobil: 0171/55 23 928)

NOTE:  Constructions going on right outside in front so wear warm sturdy shoes. WARNING:  I'll probably look like a mess, covered in paint and sweat but don't let that scare you! Come casual, its a normal working day for me. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, it will be the only chance to view these pieces this year before I take them to Baden-Baden on 22 Nov for an exhibition.
