My Salt Drawings Reveal Their True Colors When Inverted

460

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Dino Tomic and I recently have started creating unique artworks using regular kitchen SALT.

Testing out new drawing techniques and expanding your artistic field – going from one art medium to another and taking new knowledge with you for each last piece you did. That’s how you build character and versatile your artistic abilities, either mastering one subject or many, as long as you determination is there you will feel progress and finally succeed. The more you know the better you will be, and the better you are the more complex tasks you can do. Complexity of a task is only in the mind of the observer. It’s only hard if you have no background knowledge.

The salt mandala patterns/salt art are just one of many stepping stones I’m undertaking. I know I’m talking more in general about art than the the subject at hand – but I feel it’s more important to present the whole picture instead. Undertaking projects like these detailed drawings made from salt are like entering uncharted territory. Not only is it new for me, but it’s also new for the world. Creating works of art with salt was around for many years – but really improving on what’s possible with this medium is something I’m very interested in. Today in the world there are only a handful of people who create beautiful drawings using only salt and the projects they undertake is a mere fraction of the size that I do.

Pushing a medium to new heights, and backing it up with my knowledge of past projects speed up the process. Overcoming past set boundaries and rising the bar higher is of utmost importance for me. Isolating one particular part that does not present the whole process of why I’m doing/creating these intricate drawings today. Doing projects like these test my abilities as an artistic creator, they open my eyes and refresh my senses.

    I would like to say that they are all photoshopped. Coz it's so frustrating to see somebody so genius. Bravo!

    I've been following you around for a while, on deviantart and youtube, you are talented, but you are also hardworking, which is the best thing to say about an artist.

    This title is such bs, only the eye is made inverted, really takes away from the actual art.

    Do you also destroy them afterwards? They remind me very much of the Tibetan sand mandala tradition. Beautiful.

    I can't see how he could preserve it, maybe some sort of glue but the salt might absorb that like water as well and he would have to get it right the first time. Photography is probably the only way to preserve this
