I keep finding these beautiful pieces on Pinterest, just labeled, “Sabantha.” I think they’re gorgeous, and I finally did some searching, trying to find out more. I discovered that ‘Sabantha’ is the name of the art company of Andreas Thaler, who is represented by fineartamerica.com.
It is described as ‘digital art’ – “Digital art, once called computer art or new media art, refers to art made using software, computers, or other electronic devices.”
There are those who consider anything produced on a computer as ‘cheating’ and not ‘real art.’ I, being only someone who aspires to creating some stuff using all types of media EXCEPT a computer (because I’m not smart or creative enough) consider the RESULT, rather than the method.
When something speaks to me, brings out emotion in me, makes me wish I could create something even remotely similar, I consider it ‘art’ and ‘real.’
Andreas Thaler and his company, Sabantha, create some really beautiful images that I absolutely love. I wanted to share some of them with you.

I don’t know anything about this artist, except his name is Ben. I’m not sure how these are created, but I love them. There is a lot of heart in his work, and of course, the glorious colors and watercolor backgrounds…
I really like Pinterest. I find wonderful things that make my spirits soar, make me laugh, bring me to tears, and more. What I wish could be different is that people pin things and don’t tell you who the source is or where they found it. If I want to use it, I am unable to do anything but label it “Pinterest.” I find that frustrating, because I would love to tell you the artist who painted the painting. End of rant.
