I live in #Romania. Photomanipulation is my great passion,besides that I’m a graphic designer,but I’m not pursuing it at the moment.Hopefully one of this days,I can do what I love the most,which is graphic design as my full-time job.

Oasis Life by Renata-s-art

How much time you spend in a week

I usually spend 4 or 5 hours a day to create an artwork and depending on the complexity of it,I usually finish it in 2 or 3 days.I usually create 2 or 3 artworks a week,depending on the time I have,just to search for the right stocks for an artworks,it usually takes 3 hours at least.So I must spend at least 28 hours a week to create and search for stocks.

Tools of work

#Photoshop CC 2014
Wacom Intuos Tablet

Do you have qualified degree in relevant field?

No,I didn’t take an art course or such,but I’ve always loved everything related with art.Since I was a child,I’ve always loved drawing,painting or creating any DIY stuff,like paper baskets,vases,jewelry or scapbooking,anything like that.

“I came across with photomanipulation one day in 2014,when I was watching some videos on youtube,and I saw a video tutorial of a photomanipulation being created. I’ve fallen in love with it instantly,and wanted to learn the technique.And that’s how I decided to become an graphic designer also.”

What you do other activities in daily life

Besides of creating digital art,in my spare time ,I enjoy reading novels,listening to music or watching a great horror or sci-fi movie.

Currently are you working with any company or freelancing

I’m currently looking for a job,but not as a graphic designer.

A message for newer designers/artists

Never give up your dreams and fight for achieve them.Everybody starts as a beginner artist,but with practice and pacience you can achieve the level of skills you’ve only dreamed of.
