“
he world lacks
colour”
Over the years I have created a number
of paintings some of which are in private galleries across Europe.
I have had a few exhibitions under the subheadings of "Brothers
of heaven" and "All people are angels but not all angels
are people". The main subject for my paintings is the human
body. The human body has always fascinated me. I like the shapes
and curves and
the muscle tones. I tend to draw on most of my subject matters
in peck physical condition.I guess this has to do with my obsession
for fitness. Artists like Dali and Michaelangelo have truly inspired
me. When it comes to drawing the human body, his subject matters
are not dissimilar to mine.
Painting for me is like a dream a drift from reality. I favour
oil paintings in particular; Dali's
paintings
are full of life, so much light and colour which fills up the
entire canvas, the layer upon layer of different shads of colour,
texture and shapes that collide to form a picture is amazing.
But not all colour mixtures are ever
the same. This is what makes painting so wonderful. I like to
experiment with colour. I feel like the world lacks colour. Its
only in my paintings can I truly explore colour. Some of my paints
take me weeks to complete. I am partly self-taught.
When
I was little my mother enrolled me to some art lesions but over
time I have developed my own unique style. I try to add a bit
of me in each painting that I do. My painting technique is pretty
physically demanding, it requires strong hands and pin point
precision. Most things are here to day and gone tomorrow I believe
Art is different from other things, art last forever. I hope
my work will still be remembered hundreds of years from now.
I scalp as well and I have made a few scalptures, and some pastel
art. My pastel art is mostly done while travelling.
I have always been a romantic when it
comes to profiting from my creativity. I have never really thought
about money. I have always created for pleasure. Most of my
paintings have been for non-profit. I use painting as a form
of self-expression, and relaxation. I like to paint it takes
me
away.
There was a period of five years when I stopped painting I thought
I had done enough but until quite resent when I resumed my painting,
have I realised that there is still a lot of work left in me.
Painting is an activity which I have and will always turn back
to from time to time. In general I feel like Art is a part of
me..
