VKBlog: The Stories Behind the Strokes

For me, art isn't just about colors and aesthetics; it's a physical manifestation of emotions, experiences, and the human spirit.

Join me into a realm where creativity meets storytelling, and each canvas becomes a doorway to understanding my world.

New Year, New ✨WEBSITE✨ I finally got my shit together and completed my new work of art, vanessakreytak.com In websites past, it was just a more expensive way to showcase my work and hopefully entice onlookers to add some to their carts. However, this time I wanted to do things a little differently. Of course you can still check out my store and portfolio, but I added some more personal touches about me💖 Learn about my artistic journey from orthodontia to canvases AND perhaps the most exciting part- the stories behind these canvases. I create because it’s a passion of mine. I don’t make a living off my art but I need it to express myself and bring my ideas and concepts to life. Only half the story is told in paint, so do yourself a favor and check out the words behind them too. LINK IN BIO YALLLLLLLL🎉🥲✨ . . . #website #newwork #artistbio #artistblog #nycblogger #artblogger

“3 Wise Kings Throw Down for the Triple Crown” 👑 NYC Art League Dec 2023 👑 . . The last big event for me of 2023 - and what a way to end the year competing in my favorite event within this NYC art scene. I will never not be impressed to see the actual unfolding of an idea or concept in real time - inspired by some random prompt or saying (shout out to our theme-a-gician @breemakesart ). It’s such an incredible feeling to just let your mind go - you don’t have time to second guess yourself and it always always ends with fking masterpieces. Thank you for giving creatives this opportunity to show their stuff @up__mag , @sourmousenyc, and thank you for bringing some of the toughest competition (for me, since 2021 😅) @calichoart @noxarts.co 💖 . Until next time, this trophy’s lookin good in my apartment 🏆 . . 📸: @jaimemarrero @a_candela_photography . . . #nycartbattle #upmagazine #sourmouse #nycartleague #undergroundartscenenyc #vknycart #vanessakreytak
