See in a Dream by Ulrich de Balbian

Two other New Genres, mixed media works by the same artist. The Jacaranda project as described by the artist on several online Art galleries for example Saatchionline, Art Break, Art Majeur, etc :

"I had a dream of a house where I should commence a Jacaranda project. This consisted of finding the house in a country and area where the Genus Jacaranda of the 49 species of the Bigoniaceae family could be planted. I found the country, and area and the house that I bought. I then constructed the hedge as in my dream and planted the Jacaranda plant I dreamed of. Then I painted the hedge with the Jacarandas in bloom in Oil. Here is the result - 1 of 5 paintings." As can be seen from this description, the artist had to study ecology to find regions where this type of plant grows, the searched the country and the regions to find the house he dreamed of, then constructed the hedge as viewed in his dream and planted the Jacaranda plants. Then he painted this construction in oil, as can be seen in the image here. The entire process of his searching, gardening etc was filmed. Another project is his Fairy Circle project. Some of these works were sold for $1,000,000.

Jacaranda project 1 painting of the hedge and plants constructed and cultivated by Ulrich de Balbian

Another development by Ulrich de Balbian is his Four Styles Project. Each project consists of the same work re-created in many different styles. Each picture is one of more than 100 of a STYLES PROJECT ONE, TWO, THREE or Four. The white in the picture is the canvas that is unpainted and the light is not caused by bad photography, but intended and painted. These paintings are painted on flat canvas and not on 3D boxes. This is a quotation from Saatchionline.com [[107]]. I have obtained images from a few of these works from the artist and will upload them here.
