I'm a photography person. Never really been interested in other forms of art. I love bokeh, photojournalism, abstract and candid photographic styles. One of my favorite photographers is Henri Cartier-Bresson, who was a 20th century French photojournalist. He was a Leo Sun, with a heavy 8th House including Mercury and Mars there. I also have Mercury in the 8th and I enjoy extremes of emotion in photography and in art. Photojournalism is my favorite field and style within photography. I'm not a fan of potraits or wedding photography or anything like that. The art always has to have a depth and edge to it however I'm not disregarding other forms of photography I just don't enjoy them.

As far as painters go even though I'm not really a fan of that genre of art, Roberto Matta who is a Chilean artist is incredible, he was a Scorpio with Venus in Libra. He's an abstract expressionist and surrealist painter. His works are transformational, it's like viewing an alternate reality.

I lean more towards Aquarian/Plutonian photography/art with a Venusian edge meaning in the end no matter how dark and expresive the image is, the quality of the work needs to be beautiful and magnificently crafted.

I really enjoy and admire Surrealism..especially in photography and painting. Max Ernst and Salvador Dali are two of my favorite painters.

I really like digital artwork and large-scale intermedia art that involves lighting and color and how they play off each other.

Love drawing, too, of course. I'm good at sculpture but don't enjoy it as much.

My favorite SUBJECT MATTER in art leans toward the dark, macabre, surreal, dreamy, fantasy, nightmarish, otherworldly, science fiction...but I also have a huge thing for human portraits..I love the human face and body.

Strange, huh? Yes, I've had friends where we look through their entire extended families and they have common placements and moons.

Heey, my mom is Virgo sun, Aries Moon, Libra Venus!

that is strange, 12th house planet placements always fascinate me. there seems to be some sort of loss when planets are there and its just so interesting to see how it manifests itself in similar ways through peoples charts. it also makes me wonder of our destinies, because when the sun or moon is there, theres some sort of loss through a parent but was it the planets placement in that house that manifested itself out to be true or was it preplanned and with that planets placement in that house gave you that characteristic to heal that part of yourself and influence psychologically how you react to the world. maybe its both or maybe i lost myself in words trying to explain what im thinking haha. i feel like i could have tried to say it better im just not sure how right now ha

i'm in love with this guy lately, his name's kris kuksi.
this doesn't show the best detail, so you can check out his website if you want, but this painting's called Psychotropic Comparative Anatomy. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2317/1799493189_264241738e.jpg

A couple of his sculptures, which is how i fell in love with him in the first place. i love his fascination with the skeletal system. http://joshualinergallery.com/jlg_inventory/artwork/Kuksi_Imminent_Utopia.jpg

I have venus in aqua and merc in sag. So well, wherever I can travell, I'll travel, with my hand and my mind.

I have some artwork where there are characters a bit surrealistic, but they are never tottally abstract!

Here an exemple: http://lulous.deviantart.com/art/Ya-bold-273540191

For that BBC test I got,
Your favourite type of art is secular Islamic.
In the personality profile you had a high intellectualism score, which suggests you like to think about abstract ideas and have a creative imagination.
People who are the same age and sex as you are most likely to prefer Impressionism
People who also score highly in your dominant personality trait are most likely to prefer Impressionism

These are beautiful -and I want to go see the underwater ones!!
I always am told that I was an Atlantean in a past life so I guess that's why I love this underwater old-yet-new kind of art. I also love bronzey and coppery type structures if they look like they could belong to the 'Atlantis' cartoon/movie lol

The men that I know the signs she's been with are Pisces, Taurus, Sag, and now Taurus-Gemi

I know that it is said that when a Virgo mom has a pisces child (esp. the first born) that it makes them prone to pull a little closer to their opposite traits. I think this would apply to all opposites in that situation.
