๐—”๐—น๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ is a very special painting. It has led me into a new style of expression, where I first began incorporating texture + various forms of mixed media into my abstract paintings. Since then, Iโ€™ve created many works deriving from ๐—”๐—น๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€.โฃ

โฃ

I originally described this style as โ€œ๐˜ˆ๐˜๐˜” ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฎ,โ€ which may have an outward appearance of minimalism, however, not minimal at all, but the opposite. The use of ivory paint + light colors radiate a lightness + ambiance of simplicity, however the several layers of texture, adhesives, + paint provide a topography across the canvas terrain. โฃ

There are two key phrases within ๐—”๐—น๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€. The first at the top right corner, partially hidden by layers of paint + the overlap of the corner is, โ€œ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ, ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ? Which was purportedly asked to the abstract painter Jackson Pollock, where he answers with this question: โ€œ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ?โ€โฃ

The second phrase, in the middle (also partially hidden by layers of paint), is โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ. ๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ. ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ด.โ€โฃ

Upon pursuing art as my career, the word โ€œ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ดโ€ has been my tag line. It is how I close my emails + handwritten letters. I find it to be such a powerful word. โ€œ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ดโ€ represents eternity; an element or essence of being everlasting + ever present, constant + consistent. ๐—”๐—น๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ is what I strive to give, exude, and live in my daily life. โฃ
