For the next couple weeks we will be focusing on a new series called the Poetic Series. This series is based on poems that I wrote myself in which the paintings & the poems really give life to each other. Blind Man I weep For Death slowly overcomes As I wander this wretched world Searching for a place of rest I bleed without blood The truth known A foolish thought To think to understand Is to listen Forget Upon deaf ears; I cry Slip into the darkness Unseen by all To see Emerge Blind Man The foolish eyes lost Awakened To brightness unknown For the next couple weeks we will be focusing on a new series called the Poetic Series. This series is based on poems that I wrote myself in which the paintings & the poems really give life to each other. Many of the pieces in the series I hand painted the poem onto the canvas to make them as one. The idea for this series came when I was looking to make a wedding gift for my sister. I wanted to make something that really captured the love between my sister and her soon to be husband. So I worked on a poem and then images of the poem came into my head and I thought it would be great if I incorporated both. After doing this piece I looked through some other poems I had written and found ways to express those through images. The first piece we will be talking about is the painting that started it all; it is called “Fairy Tale”. To read full poem, click on "READ MORE". How can I start a conversation about a piece that has impacted myself as an artist more than I probably would ever like to share? I am not too sure but I will give it my best shot. I started this piece when I was in one of the most emotional trying times of my life. I was isolated, alone and so very lost. The only thing I knew before painting this piece was that I wanted to be a real artist and make it as my profession. I had no clue if I could do it and honestly waivered in my belief that I had the talent to do it. When I started this piece I just let go of everything and left it on the canvas. Once I finally finished this piece and looked back at it I knew that no matter what, art was what I had to do. Obviously, the thought of failing and being broke and destitute really scares me like it would most. But for the first time in my life I knew I couldn’t let that fear stop me anymore, and that even if I was the only one who discovered something through my pieces I had to keep creating them. So I have, and slowly I believe that I am helping to reach people and make their lives a bit more colorful. As I could probably talk about “Freedom” for hours I will spare you and focus on some of the highlights of it. “Freedom” started with a broken heart (the loss of heart) the idea of emptiness, blackness, a whole that felt like it would engulf me. It became more as all my thoughts of doubt; self-denial, anger and anguish started pouring out. I was stripped naked down to my very core having no recourse but to stare into that which I was so afraid of. For who truly wants to take off there masks and look into the true eyes of who they were. |
