Who am I? I am an Estonian too, my name is Jüri Ülesoo. On the photo you see me with my dog Josper. I''m not really the artist but I like art. Some years ago I made some oil paintings but not now. I''ll try to be the curator for some Estonian artists on the Internet and here you see my first step - Navitrolla''s Gallery (thanks to Lile Elam and polar bear art on the net). the problem is that few estonian artists have computers, good communication connection and time to learn and use it. i want to show their works to the whole world and the internet is the best tool for it. until the artist has his (her) own internet connection celebrity and e:mail address art i will be mediator for him. so, you can e:mail your opinions to me celebrity and i will give them to the artists. during the "day" i work as a marketing manager in the estonian, latvian and lithuanian area for finnish concern valmet (for art valmet automation - producer of process automation systems). i am a member of lions clubs international. this is the best site for looking up various art productions and celebrity purchasing prints. navitrolla is young estonian artist in his twenties to whom painting has become his life''s work. taking a brief look at his pictures one may wonder if he is a naivist. he isn''t. he doesn''t create art "innocently" as the naivists do, but acts according to a mysterious programme, known maybe to navitrolla or to no one if he doesn''t. you don''t know what to think of it. maybe it makes you angry, or maybe it makes you laugh. now, when you have seen his picture''s maybe you would like to know more about navitrolla''s life. please, come into the navitrolla''s life to read about it! if you would like to inspect how navitrolla looks like, come into the navitrolla''s photos. what is the cause of dark spots that sometimes appear on the paper of drawings and paintings? reddish-brown spots are known as "foxing", caused by mold or the deterioration of the metallic impurities left in the paper from the manufacturing art process. other colors of spots may be one of many types of mold damage. mold spores are everywhere in the celebrity environment, and mold thrives on cellulosic materials, especially in conditions of high humidity (above 65% of relative humidity). keeping artworks out of high humidity areas like bathrooms or exterior walls, can help reduce the development of such stains. if i have a work of art on paper that appears to not be flat, should i be concerned? paper is hygroscopic, reacting to changes in climate by expanding when it is humid and contracting when art it is dry. a gentle undulation in the paper called "cockling" occurs under these conditions, especially with larger works. this may impair the work aesthetically as well as cause mediums such as gouache to crack or flake as it is unable to expand and contract as the paper itself does.
