Hi, I´m Yasmina, virtual photographer and painter...my real name is Stefanie, I´m german, 36 years old. I prefer to have this side in english because most of my art-friends here are speaking it. For sure you can write me also in german or spanish ;)

So here you can see my work of pictures, most of them taken in the virtual world of second life and edited with photoshop. Actually I´m also dedicated to paint and draw digital...I hope you like it, for every comment and fave I´m happy and I will appreciate it to have a look also at your pictures...

And I´m really happy that now you can see some works of me inworld at the beautiful sim Enchanted Elven Realm:

(To see them please go in to the door of the Kaleidoscope in the Entrance)

and also you can see a small exhibition of my works in the new virtual Gallery of Amore Perdutos in Second Life: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hangout/75/31/1001

So what can I say over art? I think it doesn´t matter if a picture is beautiful or silly, romantic or abstract, dreamfully or strange, frightening or lovely, professional done or just a fast shot...an artwork is a really great work and you are a really great artist, if the people staying to look at your work more than few seconds, if they have to think about it and if they can find more words than just "beautiful"...if they find also critics over it or find an inspiration for their own work, if they take it and make a copy of it, if they ask you how you did it, if they take it their favourites and come back to take a second view, also if they just give an award because they have to give it for put their own pic in the group; because also it´s a compliment, if they pick you work from a fast view over 20 pictures in one side...if they have more ideas for your work, because your work has let them think about it, if it gives them a sentence....all this means, that you did it really well and that is really art!!!

If you make your works and see later some which you like so much, don´t think that any other artist is much more better because he knows more tecnics, has more expirience or because his works have much more favourites. Art is a definition with a so big spectrum...if not all the people likes your work, it doesn´t means that it isn´t art or that it is bad...it only means that you did some different art...lot of times I found a picture here in Flickr and it is one of my favourite and I´m wondering why it has no comments and no more favourites. That´s live, every individual person has his own fantasy and sometimes it´s very diferent of the masses. The art don´t defined, who is better and who not, the art is just a form of our fantasy...and every artwork is great in his own form!!!
