Artist Statement
I believe art comes from the soul, it reflects our experiences and perceptions. When I paint and I am in tune with my soul and allow it to come to the surface, it’s almost like I am in a trance. Nothing around me matters, brush and canvas is my whole existence. I listen to music when I paint to give me that extra help in losing myself in my work. It is usually inspirational music from movie soundtracks, or more recently Sia’s tracks. Sounds transports me in a different world, creates movement and emotion.
When I was painting Meditation in Blue, I was feeling a little blue myself, and the music matched my mood. I was preparing for a show and felt a little exhausted with the whole process, unsure how it will go, how successful it will be; everything an emerging artist doubts about herself I was feeling that day. In short, I felt melancholy. I was listening to the music and I had an image of lines in my head. I put all my paints on the table and stared at them for a few moments, waiting to see what will speak to me. I chose blues and white, but contrast also speaks to my soul, the difference between dark and light, happiness and sorrow, belief and doubt. I chose red to add that little bit of contrast, not too much, just a hint. Meditation in Blue is a reflection of my experiences that day, my emotions free of the tether of daily life. It is a moment in time, frozen forever in stark detail as a memory unbound by the passage of time.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
