EXPLORATION OF SOUND

 

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share something new because as always…trying new things, 2 years ago I started singing more as therapy than anything else thanks to the pandemic lockdown, now I focus more on the sound of the voice, silence and nature because it relaxes me, so sporadically I will be uploading videos collecting natural sounds and with a bit of singing. Everything is experimental but so healing for me and maybe for you. I opened a channel and account exclusively to collect them. I invite you to watch and follow EXPLORATION OF SOUND and via instagram too @valeria_explorationofsound

Winter usually gives me SAD~ (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

And during that time I try to find comfort and be in touch with myself to try to maintain a balance, sometimes it's difficult but I love it when I find methods, practices or therapies through experimentation, and always related to nature or creativity. , because for me this is the best way to heal.

Since COVID began, she began to sing for me and I loved it, in this way it helped me release stress, but I am not a professional singer, I only let my inner child sing.

Then I discovered how important the sound of our own voice is and how powerful it is for us.

Yes! Your voice is powerful to you and you can find calm by listening to your voice humming a little or just whispering to yourself and listening.

Or at least found that this has worked for me.

I don't like to sing in public as a soloist, I'm super shy for this and I don't see myself as a singer but as a person who likes to play because I play with my voice and I enjoy my voice. , our voices are amazing instruments to play and maybe some are born with this ability or maybe we just need to educate our voice.

But I don't think too much about this topic, I just let myself flow, sing and enjoy.

There are many ways to sing, but what resonates with me is just making sounds, no logical words, not even a language, it just sounds through the voice.

And since I am not a musician but I find beautiful sounds of nature, I decided to record nature and make it my music.

Has silence heard? Silence also has a sound and I love it.

I hope that with my videos you can find something special through sound export.

STARTING THE YEAR WITH A TIGER

🐅 🎨 Here is my tiger little by little taking shape, it is my first oil painting of 2022 and I chose it precisely to celebrate the new year because for those who do not know, this is the year of the tiger. Tigers are not one of my favorite animals, however I appreciate the beauty and strength they have in addition to the great symbolic load, because once they appear in our lives it is to give us a message, or at least that is how I like to see it. May this year be full of strength, beauty and self-confidence. 🎨 🐅 .

IMBOLC AND THE INNER FIRE

 

Hi all! Here I go with my first post of the year and the truth is, I did not expect it to be what I share with you, but this is how my life goes. I will not go into details but I am working on my solar plexus (my fire) and curiously, inadvertently it has been connected to my first job of the year: IMBOLC. I wanted to make an illustration to commemorate Imbolc, the Celtic celebration. At the beginning was a very different portrait till all ended after I designed this illustration inspired by the key elements: the snake, the snowdrop flower, the fire, and the swans. During Imbolc the beginning of pregnancy, fertility and fire are celebrated. "The festival is a festival of light, reflecting the increasingly long days and the hope of spring."

So I started a design and all started like this...

Imbolc

Was fun to paint with watercolor a self portrait for Imbolc. It’s funny all the behind this piece but also very long to explain, long story short: it’s all about the inner fire and the rebirth, the power of the new and the end of the old. But this watercolor came with a very hard test for me just at the beginning of the year. I wish for my flame to burn and shine for ever. Magic cool thing: it was painted with water from the first snow of the year, just perfect for Imbolc.

Watch me paint Imbolc here
