Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Yanash Vaniva is a Second Life artist who has several exhibitions in-world, but she also shares her art on Flickr. I was drawn to this picture and not just because green is my favorite color. There is this fluidity in the air and his back curves with the wind. It’s even more striking because he is in silhouette. I can almost feel the air moving.

“Linee” is a fun homage to Piet Mondrian. With her Mondrian skin in her Mondrian room, she is Mondrian Squared. I love the humor this picture reveals.
“Battico” shows a woman who bends backwards while on her knees in what seems a very extreme version of the hero pose framed from above the head. That made it initially confusing for me, confusing, but beautiful, what with the flowers, the mask. You might think she’s posed in nothingness, black nothingness, but you can see the corners of walls lit with a glimmer of blue. It’s simply extraordinary.
Yanash Vaniva has a stream of beautiful and intriguing pictures. If you cannot make it to her exhibitions in-world, be sure to see what she shares on Flickr.
