(Acrylic and Ink on handmade paper)
Size: 104x70cm (unframed)
THE IDEA BEHIND THE PAINTING:
This painting is a meditation. It is one of a series of paintings I did on this subject while I was in India
Art is a way of externalizing ideas and thoughts. In this painting I am conveying to you the viewer, BEING through paint. It is portrayed in an abstract way because the concept is abstract. At the time of painting I was spending time in an ashram where meditation was practiced regularly.
Art Techniques used to achieve this:
Yellow always represents joy for me. Therefore the painting is predominantly yellow. Colour perception is always subjective and different individuals may perceive colours differently.
I initially applied various coloured inks to the paper and then eliminated that which was unnecessary. Inks have a very vibrant saturation and represent my thoughts as I observed them arising in my consciousness during the painting process. The overall composition feels balanced although the inks are applied randomly. This was because I overpainted that which was not necessary.
There is little texture to the painting as I wanted to give a refined finish. There is purposely no perspective or design to the painting. It is very subjective. It represents the Now.
