Published & Offered-Art in Progress

July 5, 2008

Art, as this blog also, is about sharing.

Artists paints artworks, finish it, make exhibition, offer them,… that’s the usual way,…

But… :)

Here at this page you are in the possibility to see my longterm artworks in process of creation, in process of revealing them, and in every phase of creation.

When the artwork is finished? When artist say or feel it’s enough, but…
What if You think or wish it’s enough for that artwork in the current state of creation?!

If You are interested, I’m inviting You to post with Your comments Your offers also :)

What if…Again?

Oil on canvas, 80X120cm

This painting I’ve started few years ago!!!
Now I’m ready to continue with painting!

What it is about? By the bible first people on the Earth was Adam & Eve… you probably know the story.. Eden, snake, apple,…

And here my painting goes… Present day at the earth, or somewhere in the sky, in front of the gates of Heaven Eve is still young, and Adam is old, after all those years of healthy  Earth life, with wrinkles, hair loss,…

What If he had this experience, or knows what will happen, consequences, … WOULD HE TOOK THIS APPLE?! WOULD HE HAVE THAT TEMPTATION? WOULD HE?

On my painting they are inforont of the gates of Heaven, Eves hand becomes snake, and in fact Eve/Snake are offering this apple again. In the middle is Holy Grail (represents eternal life)… :) Will he take in, will he grab it?

Web Design, Why?

July 5, 2008

I had this great idea, to live where I live, in Serbia, to work what I love and like-to paint, and to provide my living by selling my works of art. How to manage that? I’ve decided to make my personal page, at the space provided by my internet provider (3MB), and after few months, and sleepless nights, my first website was ready. I was ready to go internationally. I can remember, that night when I have uploaded my first website my girlfriend and I have opened bottle of wine and cheer…

That was the beginning… :)

Did I sell anything via that site? … NO :(

… but thanks to this site I have begun to make websites for my friends.

This first website was great beginning, for some new opportunities in life, great introduction in capabilities of internet…

I have made my second website www.topalski.com, and this site was, and still is… great project, totally hand made, without any base (sql), but still have more than 360 html pages, 314 artworks, and real links about 800! But… when I count links at the side-bar (member off,…) it has more than 20.000 links!!! First page at the moment has google page rank 4! For some art related searches it is listed at the top of major search engines!

I design websites, because it gives me freedom, like painting, freedom of artistic creation, freedom to play, freedom to explore.

Currently I’m working on this blog, main conte website (www.conteart.com) and on some websites for my frinds.

Oh yeah, not to forget, when I make some website for my friends, after that, they share with me they money friends :)

I you wish, we could share and be friends! :)
