《The Resonance of Determination》 Each collision, every blank space, reflects choices and deep reflection. The fusion of colors carries the weight of determination—no need for explanations, only the passion to ignite the fire within. ⦰𝖓𝖎𝖈𝖐

Second Chance Shaina Tranquilino August 4, 2024

Lena had always been an artist at heart, though the world had dulled her once-bright spark. After years of struggling in the bustling city, she decided to retreat to her grandmother's old house in the countryside. The house, now hers after her grandmother’s passing, was a creaky, nostalgic haven filled with memories of childhood summers and the warm scent of baking bread. One rainy afternoon, in a quest for something to occupy her restless mind, Lena ventured into the attic. The wooden stairs groaned under her weight, and the musty air clung to her as she entered the dimly lit space. Dust motes floated lazily in the beams of light that pierced through the small, grimy window. She had come here before, but this time felt different—this time, she was searching for something she couldn’t quite name.

Rummaging through boxes of old clothes and forgotten knick-knacks, Lena’s hand brushed against something smooth and solid. Pulling it out, she uncovered a large canvas, covered in a protective cloth. Her heart quickened as she unveiled it.

The painting was half-finished, its vibrant strokes frozen in time. It depicted a serene, sunlit forest, but one side was incomplete, the colours fading into blankness. She immediately recognized her grandmother’s style—bold, expressive, and full of life. Her grandmother, also an artist, had been Lena’s greatest inspiration, always encouraging her to find beauty in the world.

A note was tucked into the corner of the frame, yellowed with age. Lena unfolded it carefully and read the elegant, familiar script:

"My dearest Lena,

I started this painting long ago, but never found the right way to finish it. Perhaps it is meant for you. Trust your heart and let your creativity flow.

With all my love, Grandma"

Tears welled in Lena’s eyes as she held the note close. Her grandmother had always believed in her, even when Lena had lost faith in herself. The unfinished painting felt like a bridge between the past and her uncertain future, a second chance to reconnect with her passion.

Determined, Lena set up her easel and gathered her paints. The next few days were a blur of colour and emotion. As she worked, memories of her grandmother filled her mind—her gentle guidance, her laughter, and the way her eyes sparkled with joy when she created something beautiful. Lena let these memories guide her brush, blending her own style with the remnants of her grandmother’s.

Each stroke of the brush was a revelation, not just of the painting, but of herself. She poured her soul into the canvas, finding new inspiration in the process. The forest scene came alive under her hand, the once-blank side blossoming into a riot of colours and textures. She added elements from her own life—a distant mountain, a winding path, a vibrant sunset—merging her journey with her grandmother’s vision.

When she finally stepped back, Lena was breathless. The painting was complete, a harmonious blend of past and present. It was a testament to her grandmother’s legacy and her own rediscovered passion. In finishing the painting, Lena had found her way back to the joy of creation, and in doing so, had grown in ways she hadn’t thought possible.

What does the color red symbolize? Romance, love, power, war, danger, passion, sensation, strength or excitement? One could fantasize or fictionalize all day about what certain colors might mean, or make assumptions about their meaning based on historical interpretations, but the truth is that each artist gets to personally decide for themselves how and why each color is chosen and placed on their canvas. Maybe all the color choices work together in harmony, or maybe they clash. These choices inevitably inform a painter while envisioning and sculpting a scene to their own liking.

For me personally, red symbolizes warmth and energy. It also symbolizes new beginnings, strength, stability, and boundaries. Each painting is a chance for colors to transform and take upon themselves a new meaning. When I set out to make a new work of art, my ethics and core values are the first thing I consider, and I feel like the color red represents all the helpful knowledge from books that have informed these values, plus it adds a hint of brightness, which I like.

Instead of making art simply for overindulgence, or for a display of lust and violence, I choose to paint things that symbolize humanitarian values or showcase how beautiful nature is and how we should take a moment to observe it, appreciate it and responsibily care for it.

Lots of love, patience and care goes into my artwork because I want to create images that reflect personal integrity, kindness and beauty. We all ought to be nicer to one another and to the world we live in, and I think art is like sending out a visual message to everyone that has to potential to encourage collective mindfulness and well-being across the globe.

ars gratia artis/ars poetica poem

Art for the sake of art-

requires vulnerability,

but I don't know if I'm able

for a part of me

to be left out on the table.

Not carefully carved

like thanksgiving turkey,

more like last night's discared dinner

not saved or cleared, out of lethargy,

and beginning to stink.

I wouldn't dare to take a bite

or try to reheat it;

attempting to give it new life.

That'd only accentuate the stench,

resurrecting the past,

and making me wretch.

Though in doing so, it may finally pass.

Gaze: A Reflection on Wonder

In this poignant piece, a young woman gazes upward, her expression a blend of curiosity and introspection, framed against a stark, textured background. The contrast between her delicate features and the deep shadows invites viewers to explore the depths of thought hidden within her. This artwork encapsulates moments of contemplation, reminding us of the beauty found in stillness and the importance of allowing ourselves to dream. Join me on this journey of discovery, where every glance is an invitation to reflect on our paths.

《The Philosophy of Chaos and Creation》 Art is the embodiment of human contradictions the struggle between chaos and structure the known and the unknown Each brushstroke is a reflection of our subconscious a dialogue between emotion and logic In this fusion we find meaning as art reveals the unspoken truths of our existence ⦰𝖓𝖎𝖈𝖐

Here’s a refined version of your piece with the tweaks applied:

Art and Me: A Personal Journey

Art has always been a part of me. It’s not just a hobby or a pastime; it’s how I understand the world, express myself, and process everything around me. Photography, drawing, writing—each of these forms helps me connect with the deeper parts of myself and share those connections with others.

Photography Photography is where my heart lies right now. What started as a simple way to capture the beauty around me transformed after I stumbled upon Peter McKinnon’s YouTube channel. His passion for photography opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. I learned about different techniques, how to see the world in a new light, and how to create something that doesn’t just capture an image—but a moment, a feeling, a story. I’ve experimented with my own style, but there’s always more to explore, always a new technique or perspective to try. Every time I go out with my camera (or phone), it’s like discovering something new about the world—and about myself.

Drawing Drawing has been with me since my teenage years, and in many ways, it will always be a part of me. It began with anime and grew from there. I used to draw all the time—sketching every day without overthinking it. It was my escape, my way of communicating when words weren’t enough. Lately, though, I’ve drawn less. There’s a pressure now that wasn’t there before, a fear that my drawings won’t live up to my expectations. I don’t draw as much as I used to, but the longing to return to it is still there. Drawing, for me, is like breathing—I can’t ignore it forever.

Writing Writing was my first love, long before photography or drawing. It was my way to express myself when words failed me in the real world. I spent years writing fanfiction, starting with my favorite characters from the anime Beyblade and the characters Tyson and Kai. Eventually, I moved on to writing stories about the Japanese duo Tegomass from the J-pop group NEWS. Writing allowed me to explore my emotions and creativity in ways I never imagined. It’s funny how many stories I wrote without even realizing it—countless. But as life shifted, so did my interests, and writing became something I did less often. Yet, every time I return to it, there’s a sense of peace, like I’m reconnecting with something that’s always been a part of me. I’m currently working on a story called Shadows Embrace, which I plan to share online—it’s a new chapter in my writing journey.

Painting Painting has always lingered in the back of my mind. I took a painting class as a kid, and I still remember mixing colors and creating something from nothing. I don’t have much of that work left, but I still carry the memory of it. Painting has always fascinated me; it’s a way to transform a blank canvas into something meaningful, something personal. Maybe one day I’ll give it the time and attention it deserves.

A Dream of Something More If I could turn any of these passions into something more—into a career, something sustainable—I would. But like many artists, I face the challenge of being introverted, of not always knowing how to put myself out there. My mind is filled with ideas, but sharing them with the world feels daunting. I’ve never been great at speaking my thoughts clearly, but writing allows me to take my time and get it right. In the end, I think that’s what art is all about—finding a way to say what we can’t in the everyday world, in a way that resonates with others. No matter where this journey takes me, I’ll keep creating, because it’s who I am.

I’ve refined the flow and condensed a few areas to keep it smooth while retaining that personal touch. It’s more cohesive now, with a consistent tone and clearer organization. Let me know if this feels good for you!
