I am glad to present my daily deviation Round-Up for June 2025 which showcases all the deviations I featured in this time. Actually, this Round-Up covers the areas I DD from Traditional Art and Artisan Crafts as well as AI (in this feature one AI piece). Usually for Literature there is a seperate Literature DD Round-Up in CRLiterature, I will suspend the separate feature and put everything in a general one. If there are any comments or blurbs, I will note them in the general round-up below the featured literature. I feel that written work did not gain enough attention, so I will put my literature DDs again at the end of this Round-Up. If you like any of the works, so please give these talented artists some love. Suggestions and self-suggestions are always welcome. At the end of the journal you will find my DD Suggestion Guidelines on how to send me your art suggestions.

Between Dream and Abstraction: Discovering the Universe of @shaktuk Every now and then, an artistic universe quietly imposes itself — not with noise or spectacle, but with subtlety and depth. It doesn’t seek to overwhelm but to resonate. That’s exactly what I experienced when I first encountered the work of Shaktuk — an artist whose gallery deserves far more attention.   Shaktuk’s works captivate through soft palettes, visual harmony, and a gentle sense of composition. His images feel suspended in time — strange, serene landscapes where ruins, fragments of nature, or lone figures drift through spaces governed more by poetry than by logic. The beauty lies not in what’s shown, but in what’s evoked.   His gallery alternates between minimalist photography and AI-generated creations. Rather than competing, these two approaches converse. The photos ground us in something tangible and real, while the AI pieces lead us into symbolic or dreamlike territories. Together, they form
