Hello friends!
Has been a while since I don't post, but here I am and I want to share one of my recent paintings: ETERNAL GAZE.

And everything started like this...
Waiting waiting waiting, no more. Here my new sketch over my canvas. I did this two weeks ago while I was swimming in the mess of my room, but now it's time to get back to the art track.
The S.A.D got me like every year, I wanted to spend most of the time just on the couch taking naps waiting for the days to go faster, but there is a point where feeling pulled down is enough. Yes I have picked up all my mess and restarted from the rest-art.
Meaningful symbols in art are always part of the story. This painting is full of them like all my paintings.
Here the eye. What do I see? What did I see? What do you see?
Your eye, my eye, our. 👁️ 🎨
This painting incorporates elements I observed in Arkansas during the month of February—hence, the central figure is an eye. But what do all the other shapes and colors mean? 🤷🏻♀️
The eye is inspired by tribal art 👁️ ; at that time, I had just started watching *Survivor: Africa*. 🦅 The bird in the upper-left corner represents various black birds I frequently saw whenever I looked out the window—particularly upon waking up. There were hawks and crows, also the airport in Little Rock has an amazing floor with birds🌹 The rose situated near the corner of the eye symbolizes the red roses my love gave me on Valentine's Day, while the branches on the right side are those visible from the window of my new studio. In the bottom-right corner sits a small bird 🐦—a mockingbird—which is the official state bird of Arkansas; what better way to enrich this composition of my “inner world” than by making it a part of the piece? The colors are quite intense—perhaps reflecting the fact that I have become more intense in my decision-making—yet the white wings serve as a counterpoint, representing softness, peace, and balance.
You can see the video about all the process and meaning here in my Youtube channel.
