Hi! My name is Silje and my art name is Sil3D.

I came up with Sil3D because I started drawing patterns on my computer and started 3D-printing them. Now I mostly paint.

About me and my art. I am a 20 year old "self taught artist", I actually started using my creativity a few months ago. I have never followed any classes or anything. I just started doing it because I have ideas and I found out that I like being busy doing creative things. I like to express myself this way.

I would describe my art as free. I have made alot of painting where I just start with no idea at all or just a few colours/vibe that I want. But sometimes I have an idea that I sketch before. I just do what I feel like doing and that's why I call it free. I love a blank canvas, I decide what I want to make, how I want it and how long. It's expression. When I was a child, I never liked a colouring plate with lines, I wanted a blank paper and draw freely. I think that is what I do now too :) 

For paintings, I first started doing watercolour paintings. Then I started doing acrylic paint. Then I started spray painting backgrounds and painting acrylics on there. Then mixed media, poster and pastels. Now I do everything :). Every time I have other ideas, I think because I am so new to this but maybe I will always be like this. I don't have one art-style name for my art because everything is so different.

For the 3D-printing, I first started drawing designs with my trackpad on an app, printing it with PLA filament and it "failed" everytime. I knew it was part of the process to find a good design but I am not patient and every time it was not what I wanted. Then after a while I finally started having nice designs because of more knowledge and started printing them in ASA filament and spray painting them. Which are the ones I now show on here.

I also like using clay and sometimes I make painted clay bulbs with swirls on them.

So, I basically started doing all kinds of things since a few months and now I have a website and an instagram page where I can show it. I had no experience with anything but I just did it.

That was little about me & my art :)
