Do you like eclectic art? (Armada Volya Artwork review and giveaway!) CLOSED


If you are looking for something eclectic or something more abstract then Armada is a artist worth checking out! This Ukrainian born artist has a real passion for her work.  She has lived in 6 counties and takes a little for each culture that she lived in and puts them into her artwork.  She feels emotions are very complex to draw and uses that as a challenge to herself to put that on paper. She loves the natural world and decided to make it look more abstract than "normal" because it would be more of a challenge. 

It is obvious in the piece she sent me was made out of love for nature with all the twirling vines (I got the letter "J" in same fashion as above) to review. It is obvious she enjoys what she is doing!  She does a really good job on her work!  My son keeps picking it up and tells me he loves it and wants it in his room. This one is water color and ink painted. The colors are very rich, unlike what I get when I use water color!  She also uses acrylics in some of her work too!  

If you would like to buy one of her artworks go here.

BUT
She is also very generous! She is going to let me do a giveaway for her!

You can win one of the letters (like pictured above) from her etsy shop! This would be  GREAT baby gift!  I am going to frame mine and put it in my son's bed room!

Amy Birnbaum Hand crafted artwork


CLOSED


I love this art work. I really do. It brings (to me) a sense of peace and innocents! Something that I have missed since I was a child, so when I was asked if I wanted to do a review and giveaway I was excited to do so and share her work with you! 


She does totally original hand-crafted artwork! It is inspired by
 her children and the farm that she lives on. It is hard to believe that these are paper cut outs! When I got mine I couldn't believe the quality of it! I have been trying to figure out where I want it in my house! I like the idea of it being in my son's bedroom. With the archival quality materials it is great piece that will last a long time! 


How important is the quality of her artwork to her? (from her own words): 
"Each piece is carefully hand-cut from one piece of paper and attached with acid-free glue to rigid art board. They are all hand made; there are no prints. The designs are original and hand sketched, not computer generated. I use black-on-white, white-on-black, and a variety of color combinations"


I am so excited that she wants to do a giveaway because I want to share this artwork with someone else! I love these pieces! She is a very talented artist! I hope that you will enjoy her work as much as I do!


If you are interested in buying the piece above or any of the others go to her shop.


Or if you are feeling lucky you can win $20.00 off your order from her on a custom job!!!
