Description
When I paint, it is as if I am guided by spirits. I don't always know what the final painting will look like because I immerse myself in expressing what is trying to come through me. I consider myself just a channel used by outside forces that need to offer something to people who need it in order for them to feel good. I used to read a lot of fairy tales when I was a child and this painting is inspired by an image I remember from a story. I also remember when a lady came into the gallery I once owned, and said that her guru told her to have these particular colors and shapes. This comment was about a similar painting. The lady came in every week to give me $100 towards the price of the painting. In the end, when she paid in full after a few months, she came and took the painting and I never saw her again.
This painting has been exhibited, moved a few times to various locations, and it is in excellent condition. I stretched my own linen on the stretcher bars and built the base. The painting is done in oils and it is on Linen brought from Europe.
Although I have taken photographs during the day, it is impossible to have the colors come true as they are. In reality, they are much more vibrant. It is as if they have their own life since the shapes and color combination create so much movement. The color combination is very peaceful and serene and has a calm yet energetic effect on the viewer.
All my paintings change very much by the surrounding light and objects. It would look great with an accent light above or below the painting.
The frame around the painting is hand made and it was made just to give more of a finished look as it was being exhibited at a show. A more appropriate frame would look great.
Wonderful for any residential and commercial environment.
