About these works
My inner Essence
the artworks you are about to see are amongst my most honest, secretive and vulnerable creations. while all of my artworks are from my most honest and authentic emotions, these hold an even greater and more immediate weight of truth- something not only profoundly personal but UNIVERSAL.
there is absolutely no filter in these pieces, and I feel they must be shown to the world with open arms.
I do not call these works "paintings" or "drawings", but rather visions- truths that have came to me, that I have brought down into this world through these mediums.
The flower of truth
these artworks revolve around the symbolic form of a girl and a flower, with myself turning up sometime in the themes. you will also find violins- whole and shattered, with broken hearts throughout. the girl in these artworks are surprisingly not real, and do happen to look very similar. the flower that is traveling throughout is a direct symbol of truth and soulfulness. it is something godly and hopeful, and i am almost certain is from a hidden subconscious message or trauma, as well as a spiritual prayer. creating these works for me are in no way an "outlet" or "therapy" process. it is a vision, and not something that came from me, but given to me. these works are, in essence a "prayer ",a calling out to god through the most sensitive sides of my soul.
some of the works don't include the flower, but do contain some of the other elements that overall relate to the series in different stages, from pain and longing, to love, and triumph.
i will not explain each artwork, for the simple reason that art speaks its own truth, and I do not have the right to objectify them in any way directly.
as the saying goes, "words that come from the heart enter the heart", is exactly the same yet even more powerful in the form of art, which TOTALLY transcends words.
i believe that any interpretation is the real interpretation- as long as it effects the viewer. for that is what true art does: to touch the viewer in his or her own PERSONAL life and experience.
