Hello there,
I hope you are doing fine.
This past month I’ve been thinking about how things can be simple (simplified) and how they do actually are, besides its inherent complexity.
Regarding the act of painting, the work of painting, I am actively and consciously taken out things that can be noisy, things that does not work. Material wise this is translate by a better and smarter use of the materials, by doing research about how and what are the kind of material that suits better my work. Regarding the act of creating, that is simple as doing the work, at first, following your instinct and take the the noise out once you start to have confident in yourself. A lot of bad compositions, ugly faces and muddy mixes can appear but it is a matter of doing the work that is important here.
Doing the work and keeping things simple.
It is like doing a massive spring room cleaning, leaving the space for things we love and we care. Leaving space for loving each other.
A love letter.
I wanted to share with you this oil painting I just finished. It is an alla prima painting on 24 x 30 cm canvas.
