What is traditional_art?

From dabblers to masters, obscure to popular and ancient to futuristic, this is an inclusive community dedicated to showcasing all types of art by all kinds of artists, as long as they’re made in a traditional medium.

‘Traditional’ here means ‘Physical’, as in artworks which are NON-DIGITAL in nature.

What’s allowed: Acrylic, Pastel, Encaustic, Gouache, Oil and Watercolor Paintings; Ink Illustrations; Manga Panels; Pencil and Charcoal sketches; Collages; Etchings; Lithographs; Wood Prints; Pottery; Ceramics; Metal, Wire and paper sculptures; Tapestry; weaving; Qulting; Wood carvings, Armor Crafting and more.

What’s not allowed: Digital art (anything made with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Blender, GIMP or other art programs) or AI art (anything made with Stable Diffusion, Midjourney or other models)

Submission Rules

1. Do not post Digital or AI art, as they have their own separate communities.
2. Mildly NSFW content is allowed.
3. Explicit NSFW content needs to be tagged as such.
4. Extreme NSFW content like gore, graphic imagery, fetishistic works and straight up pornography will be deleted.
5. Post only images. No gifs, videos or articles.
6. Have no more than one artwork per post.
7. Ensure the post title contains the title of the artwork or the name of the artist (or ideally both). If there is further information about the artwork you want to convey, do it in the body of the post or in the comments.
8. You can post your own art but keep in mind not to spam. Feel free to add an [OC] tag in the title of your post.
9. Avoid posting photos of yourself next to an artwork, unless you're the creator of the artwork in question. In all other cases avoid extraneous objects and post only the art.

Community Rules

1. Be Civil and respectful.
2. Trolling, spamming, use of abusive language, and self-promotional advertising will be removed.

"What do we perceive from a star if not its radiation?

The year 2024 was an opportunity to see boreal aurora at low latitudes, the consequences of multiple coronal mass ejections.

I would lie if I said that this is what inspired this engraving because I started it in 2023 but these events considerably oriented its composition. inspired by astrophysics and science fiction, this engraving has the central theme of the sun and the stars in general. There we find, through a series of scientific and symbolic vignettes, representations of stellar nucleosynthesis, atomic diagrams, elements relating to plasma, accretion disks, magnetic fields and, the finality of these processes, radiation.

One vignette features the proton-proton chain, a series of nuclear fusion reactions that power the hearts of stars, transforming hydrogen into helium and releasing colossal energy in the form of light and heat. This fusion is the primary source of energy for main-sequence stars, like our own Sun.

At the center of the work, the symbol of the element hydrogen (H), the most abundant atom in the universe, reminds us that this primordial element is the building block of stars and galaxies. The diagram of the hydrogen atom, with its single electron orbiting the nucleus, symbolizes the elegant simplicity underlying the complex phenomena of astrophysics.

The engraving also includes illustrations of atomic structure and energy levels, evoking the electronic transitions that produce the light spectra observed by astronomers. These spectra are essential for determining the chemical composition, temperature, density and motion of celestial objects.

“Radiant” is a window into a different dimension of cosmic physics, evoking both the beauty and complexity of astrophysical phenomena. The use of clean lines and technical symbols creates a dialogue between art and science, inviting one to delve into the depths of the cosmic unknown."

This linocut has for subject as its name indicates the universe of quantum physics with attempts of graphic representation of various concepts such as quantum entanglement, spin, wave/particle duality of the photon, electron exitation, Feynman diagram, ... all sprinkled with abstract symbols.
