Artist Influence – Jeremy Miranda
Jeremy Miranda is an artist who I came across on art blog, and their work stood out amongst the rest, so I decided to investigate further. After viewing Miranda’s website, it looks as though the artist only works in paint, if not also in digital media. The interesting part of Miranda’s work is the combination of worlds and transition between the two; the worlds in the paintings are closely related by blurred between the lines.
The piece I’m more interested in is the painting in the image above; the transition between the two compositions is a very blunt but was also smooth as if looking through a window, and the way how everything is related, from the drawings of the ship to the ship in the sea.
Miranda looks as though they are building up their work into a portfolio at the start a career. I will be on the watch any new work Miranda makes, I will draw inspiration from their work and hopefully have the chance to contact them about their work.
The text above is a mix of my own opinion and research of Jeremy Miranda.

Artist Influence – Salvador Dali
`The specialised sciences of our times are concentrating on study of the three constants of life: the sexual instinct, the sentiment of death, and anguish of space-time.’ Salvador Dali, In `Dali,’ Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 1968. This is a quote from the famous Salvador Dali, an artist who specialised in the style of surrealist painting.
I’m not completely familiar with Dali’s work, but from the brief amount of research which I have done, I can see that most of his work is being painted through surrealism. Dali created many surrealist paintings, most of which are illusions depicting world’s which he has created through paint. What I think when I look at Dali’s paintings, he wanted the viewer to question reality of his paintings, and maybe wanted to question where the idea for these came from.
My work that I’m currently working on, has a similar concept in the way of creating a surrealist world; Dali’s work is more extreme in the surrealism than mine is, but the idea of creating my own reality is similar to what Dali’s work depicts (that’s why gather anyway).
