thats friggin awesome

I really like this, it is a bit different from the other work in your gallery. This reminds me of an old black and white photo. very beautiful. I am glad you finally posted some new work.

It's so awesome !

So perfect, every pixel fits perfectly in with the others.....

You get my +5 points!!!!

you are very beautiful

You're very pretty.

Edit: Oh sure, post that right before mine. heh.

ok, what could be better than such beautiful/talented artist? u better be happy Mr. von Holdt. nice work, and i really like the clean mysterious look of your website.

Very soft and dreamy. Very nice.
I have 2 questions for you, Annika (feel free not to answer if you find them intrusive). I'm sure I'm not the only one to wonder:
1- Are you completely dedicated to Art to make a living or do you do something else?
2- Why did you choose the name "Belletrist"? Is there a painful past still haunting you?
Once again, feel free to discard my questions if you perceive them as abusive in any way. I'm just curious.

Vacher:

Thanks for your interest. I have decided to give up my every secret, most of which are no longer private anyway.

1). Painting is just a distraction. I am a novelist and a medicine student (few months short of being able to add a string of letters after my name).

2). A "Belletrist" is an author of belle's lettres, or a writer who writes literature for aesthetics rather than didactic value.

And as for the haunting past ... You'll have to come visit me in my silent garden sometime. I'll leave the light on for you

Very well done soft & pretty.

excellent photo and retouch, well done

Hi Annika, I saw your artwork back at DA. As always your art is the description of beauty.

i hate to stray from commenting on your work, but ur just too damn gorgeous, i think u distract from ur own work, hehe.

these are photos of yourself ?
very beautiful..
I also like the mood in the image a lot, i guess i dig b/w work
(^_^)

Very beutiful work!!...but I have to say that you are even more beautiful than your work....Congratulations for both!

Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this photomanipulation... it is good.
But i get the feeling that just because it's an elite artist everyone goes OHHH MY GOD SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!! (exaggerated but hey...) well i think that is a bit much,so ill give it 3 of 5.
Reasons why i'm not amazed as many others seem to be: im not too fond of the composition, and the white smudge is a bit too obvious.
Just wanted to be constructive, not negative.

keep em coming

your very beutiful belle, that itself deserves a 5 ofc, but your work gets the mark anyway

WOW, Alot said here, Your art is and will always be #1

(and don't let anyone tell you otherwise)

nice work... that is beautiful!!!

Please be my mentor...

who are very beutiful? mmm i thinking mmm can be... noo, oh i remember is belletrist yeha is she.

+9/9

What a stunning piece. A beautiful concept, a beautiful artwork, and a truly beautiful woman

Wow, love the idea and the way you did it.......and frankly: I love the way you look as well.......stunning!!!!

This is you? I think im in love.
Great overall manipulation. Good idea!

I only can say that you are just beautifull, if you are the girl on the pictures, writter and medicine student, that is awsome, hope can you bring some paintings and photomanipulation, practice is always to be better.
