Capturing Childhood Innocence
A painting often begins long before the brush touches down. It starts with an impulse, a moment that insists on being more than just a memory. Watching my daughter at play, there was a clarity of purpose in her simplicity, a story etched into the ordinary, which I felt compelled to interpret, not just witness.
Self Portrait
As I stare out into the courtyard in my self-portrait, I feel a sense of yearning and uncertainty. The darkness of the foreground represents the unknowns in my life, while the light outside symbolizes hope and new opportunities. The small fountain in the corner reminds me of the beauty and serenity that can be found in unexpected places, and how even in difficult times, there's always a glimmer of hope to be found. In the end, my self-portrait is a reflection of my journey - full of ups and downs, darkness and light - but also a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
Harmony in Still Life: Symphony of Rumi's Poetry and Music
Embracing the power of Rumi's poetry and heartfelt melodies, I created a harmonious still-life painting in oil on canvas. The carefully chosen violin, sheet music, books, and candle symbolize my intertwined passions, while the delicate balance of light and shadow brings the scene to life. This piece is a testament to art's ability to unite and elevate our emotions, reminding us to celebrate the beauty and depth of our own emotional landscapes.
