One thing I am realizing this summer is that I genuinely love painting. So far this year, I think I've made at least 7 completed pieces. That is pretty good. Since break started, I've been getting ideas nearly every week.
I remember going to this cute little area in Claremont, and I went inside a store that had mainly Indian/Nepalese goods. I bought a green handmade journal. I couldn't remember where I put it for the longest time. Then my mom found it when she was cleaning up one day. I decided to decorate this journal specifically for my concept art for my paintings and for this account. I keep this journal with me, so if I have an idea, I can record it.
Summer break is about halfway over now. I still have some plans before my final school year starts. I've had a lot more time to reflect on myself and my work. Most of the 2024 paintings I've made center around Love. My love for the ocean, my love for color, my love for people. College has made me realize how important communication really is. How, getting to know people matters so much. I love my life at school, and I love my roommates and my classmates. Love seems to drive me these days. I know Leo Season is approaching, and I can't wait to see what I'll make next. Leo's love intently, and painting is one way for me to express that. Even as a little girl, I've always admired the idea of love and finding your true love. It just hasn't happened to me yet. Sometimes, I think Leo's are too romantic, but I can't help it.
My painting style is just the way I draw. I couldn't tell you about the techniques or rules. I just do it. My work has an ongoing theme, however. They are all me. Just like Frida Kahlo. It's a series of Surreal Self Portraits. Love and Nature are always the theme. Feminine energy and the female conquest are also themes I like to explore. I was able to express some of my attractions, and I enjoyed it. Sexuality is something I'm starting to notice more about myself. I'm more interested, open, to explore that side of me. I want to know what it feels like to be loved and to love someone else. I would like to have that one person I can hold and trust. That is why in many of my works there are anonymous hands. To show that he is there reaching out to me.
He will appear to me. All in due time, of course. However, no one, in my personal life, can tell in my work except me. No one knows the full truth except me. It's like hiding my experiences in plain sight. And I love that. My passion for people and for my work has gotten me a handful of meaningful pieces done. I want to be more honest with how I feel and how I feel about other people. Painting has really helped me this summer to cope with these feelings of Affection, Longing, Loneliness, and even Embarrassment. Overall, my work is meant to be a celebration of those feelings. It's a constant reminder to me that it's ok to feel. It's ok to feel for someone so deeply. And in the end, he has inspired me with all these ideas.
