Reflections Artist Andra Gavrila | Meditation In Blue

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.
