I am compelled to create images - both on canvas and with photography.

 

As a painter i am inspired by colors, shapes and the endless possibilities the mind offers. I don't follow any one genre or style, as that is too self limiting.

I like to capture the world around me and should that fail to inspire then I will create a world i'd like to see.

I am just as intrigued with realistic monochrome images as with surreal work.

 

I have always been a dreamer. I think painting and photography are perfect mediums to transport the senses.

After all, 'Why should reality interfere with a perfectly good fantasy?'

Each time Sigi displays a new picture I never know what to expect. The variety and the high quality of her work never lets the viewer down. It may be beautiful bw work, color or on occasion digital illustrations. It´s all done with a masterful eye and hand. Most photographers intentionally or unintentionally pull towards certain genres. But Sigi shoots with her heart and an enormous portion of creativity. I love her work! (The only bad thing about her is that she reminds me of my ex wife ;)

I am very happy to have met her in this flickr world which she enriches so. And she is a "Child of Africa" in the best sense of the word (her heart as big as that great continent ) - a great friend, a true person - I think we are all very lucky to have her in Flickr. She will always surprise you. Thanks for your friendship.

Sigi K. For me, one of the more complex and accomplished female artists on flickr. Not to notice that she “is a she” misses all the points of what makes us human and unique.

Sigi K. For me, one of the more complex and accomplished female artists on flickr. Not to notice that she “is a she” misses all the points of what makes us human and unique. No, men and women do not see the world the same – but when a woman so forcefully pushes us past that notion, and pulls us fully into their world, all that they are should be noted and celebrated. Sigi is possessed of a powerful visual style that she imprints with a personal touch, whichever way her eyes turn. Inquisitive, dynamic, strong-willed, directed, she is a human force-of-nature, and one many men, upon meeting her, would be both utterly attracted to and fear; which, at one point or another in her life, probably tickled her to no end. Many male artists reveal themselves with great passion, but not as many women do. Such passion, fearlessness, confidence and style, revealed with such artistic and creative skill, by a woman, is still desperately needed in this man’s world to let us know the power of the female spirit when barely contained. Her images occupy the screen with sensitivity and sensuality, with a directness bordering on assault (with an artist “weapon)” and still, with a beguiling feminine and feline attitude. When you wonder “just who the heck is this artist?” they’ve hit their mark. Then again, maybe it’s just the way I see things.

A beautiful, generous woman and artist with an authentic vision. Consistently imaginative and sensitively portrayed regardless of subject, Sigi's images are never short of inspiring. I shake my head and say amazing ..... a lot.

The main reason I joined flickr was to find artists like Sigi, her work is original and I find it so inspirational and her comments are motivating. Through her stream she has shown a wonderful country I have never visited but now feel I have and it’s captured in a magnificent way. She also lets us into her family’s life in a unique way and the people of Africa with how she captures them. Her paintings speak for themselves, superb. This isn’t just a great photostream its true art throughout and certainly opens my eyes and mind to more every time I look at it.

I could go on and on about the fabulous amount of talent Sigi shows in her photography. But one can see that in a glance. So, I will just say: "her work leaves me breathless".

My dear friend Sigi is one of the most exceptional artists I know. You don't just view her photos and art, you feel them! It's as if you were there, experiencing the emotion of the rush of colors that often project their presence, or in one of her fabulous black and whites amidst the landscapes of the wild. There is no middle of the road work from Sigi; her work is top notch, whether it is a photo or an oil painting. Sigi always takes time to comment on the photos of others, whether she is at home or on a trip, and is supportive when you need a lift. I always look forward to her next post, because I know I'm in for another treat and my day will be a better day! Best of wishes, Sigi! Thank you for being my friend!!

Sigi is a dedicated artist with a keen eye for the people around her. I have been familiar with her paintings for over a decade, and so it is very exciting for me to witness her photography. Her solid artistic skills transition seamlessly into her photographs, and one can see that great attention is paid to composition, tones, light and subject. Sigi's portraits are especially potent - her subjects appear very relaxed and willing to allow her to explore them beyond the superficial to a point of intimacy, one that makes the viewer feel an immediate connection to the person being photographed.
