Flying Free Abstract Butterfly Art by Omaste Witkowski owFotografik.com

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. ~Nelson Mandela

Flying Free Abstract Butterfly Art Imagine what it feels like to be totally free of anything holding you back. The limitless joy of being. Not any one thing, just being. How many times in your life have you experienced this state of exceptional bliss? Has it been once or twice or anytime at all? I am attempting to express my freedom here in this picture. It took me 42 years to understand what it felt like to be free. Truly […]

Finishing One Story Allows Another To Begin. Trust In Transitions ~Omaste Witkowski

April 3, 2015 by owfotografik

Today I am finishing the last layer of my picture. Here I am experiencing the full awareness of my creating. I really enjoy the process of arranging colors and shapes. It is such a soulful experience as I imagine my way through my images. I am never sure what my work will look like until I am done and I guess I really love the mystery of it. Each piece is a gift from God to Me to You. My […]

Being Aware Of Life Inspires Life To Be Aware Of Us ~Omaste Witkowski

Today’s layer is a hand drawn illustrated pattern and the first layer of removing some of the white space to reveal the design below. In case you are wondering how I made this pattern so perfectly balanced and even, I will reveal my secret 🙂 I draw one small image and then in Photoshop I will copy and flip the image first horizontally and then vertically. After I have flipped it twice I have a mirror image of my first […]

Cosmic Consciousness Abstract Design Art by Omaste Witkowski_

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. ~Arthur C. Clarke

Happy Monday Everyone, I am starting on a new design this week that was created from a Photograph I named “Underwater Whimsy”. This photograph was of a small glass oil dispenser. I took a Macro photo and then painted over the top layer and then merged the layers. It is a Textured Abstract process that I have used quite a few times in my work. Today I am showing you the original photograph with texture layers and then the resulting […]

Sometimes An Experience Must Have a Contrast In Order To Be Seen And Understood ~Omaste Witkowski

Today’s layer is #6. I am LOVING this blue color. I used the color picker to choose a blue from my original design. Then I applied various layers of color modification via Photoshop. In total this Layer #6 has 5 sublayers that comprise the Blue. I am almost contemplating the Blue as it’s own picture. It is kind of mesmerizing to me. What do you think?

Ignite The Colors Of Passion In Order To See the Vibrancy Of Life ~Omaste Witkowski

March 2, 2015 by owfotografik

Today’s layer is #5 and consists of two images. One is the color paint layer and the other is how I have used the colored paint layer. It is the same process as I used in Layer 4. I am basically adding different colors/textures to the original picture. Gradually the image takes shape to me. I feel as though I am revealing it rather than creating it. So I feel my way through the colors that I choose and the […]

Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself. ~Desiderius Erasmus

Branches of Light I see a branch of light extending to all of the darkness in the world. Bright enough to gain the attention of all the souls in the world. A brilliant and welcoming invitation to another way of thinking and a chance to rest for a minute and enjoy the colors…… This picture was part of a commissioned series created for a local Hotel. —– This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth […]

Colored Arrows A colorful flight of fancy into an abstract realm is what this picture reminds me of. When I first took the photograph I saw arrows for some reason. Two years later I am looking at it and not seeing arrows anymore? What do you see here in this abstract photograph? —- This picture started out as a picture of handblown glass created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks. Glassworks is located downtown Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful […]

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. ~Lao Tzu

Ballerina This photograph reminds me of a ballet slipper. A magical ballet slipper sparkling with fairy dust. Surrounded by beautiful color and magical tones of sound and light. Dancing for the spirit of creativity in all of us. Simplicity and beauty are things that we love. It is nice when all that we want can be captured in a photograph. Red is a very powerful color. It could be war, love, fear, evil, peace, sensuality, whatever we interpret it to […]

Penguins This photograph reminds me of a penguin. Sitting quietly in the Arctic and wondering what all of the color is about. Black and White is one thing but a bright blue penguin is a new idea. In these bold colors I can almost taste a story waiting to be told. I see a wheat colored yellow and a calming blue, a royal purple, a nectarine orange, a limey green kiss, a sensual red and spiritual purple/pink haze. This picture […]
