I have chosen these works of art because in a way I enjoy their styles and I wanted to show how they do their artwork because their artwork is original in their own artistic talents, around the world.

“Walking with the Ancestors” by Keone Nunes

The traditional tattoo was done by the Traditional Hawaiian artist Keone Nunes. “We wear uhi (tattoo) so that our ancestors may walk with us.”

Alhambra Nights

Lamp lights that were created by Anila Agha with Islamic geometric symmetry to display lights and shadows at an angle. I like the light art because it caught my eye in trying to imagine the light symmetry and how cool it would have been to see it in person.

Digital Performance Art

Stunning digital art created with artistic expression using digital interaction for the performances. With Interaction art, I am imagining there would be music along with the digital display.

The fairy light display of the digital interaction of these performances are cool! I like them and they are intriguing to the performances as to the interaction with light and shadow.

  1. I really love the variety in your post. Specifically, I really like the exhibition of tattoos. I feel like they’re a really under-appreciated art form. As someone whose gotten a few tattoos, I have developed a great love of the art form. The amount of time it takes, and the amount of precision (as you obviously can’t erase a permanent mark on somebody’s skin) is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront of your blog!
