Art
I never learned how to paint. I’ve found painting has always been a combination of logic and luck.
Every kid has an innate fear of something surrounding them. Once the lights turn off and we get under our covers there always seems to be something lurking around the corner. We tend to call them the monsters under the bed. This fear took over me as a kid and translated far into my future. Whether there really is someone or something watching us, the feeling of paralyzing fear stayed as a memory in my mind. It is something I can always come back to given how long I experienced this gut wrenching feeling. To anyone who has never been afraid of a ghost, this fear might sound insane, but I wanted to capture it best I could. I spent so long trying to imagine what this felt like and the best way to translate it into the physical. This was the best I could come up with.
Fear of Ghosts
Man in Skull
This painting was originally made for someone else. I was never able to get it to them but I’m grateful for the idea they gave me because this is my favorite piece I have worked on so far. It took me a long time to complete not because it was hard to do but because emotionally, I lost interest in between. After a couple months of abandoning the artwork I sat down and finished it within a couple days. It’s not my style of art but I enjoyed the creation of it.
Anahata
This was the first painting I ever created a concept for. I used to see things on the internet and recreate it because it was easier and I had a template, but this time I wanted to expand my horizons and create something start to finish through my own thought. I wouldn’t say it’s any good because it’s not. But I enjoyed doing it because my heart was in it. I had the idea and I executed it to the best of my ability with no knowledge on shading or painting techniques. I was lead by logic and deductive reasoning. When time permits I plan on touching it up and fixing the parts where I got lazy.
