A piece of one of my #abstractartworks .... "CAN U READ MY MIND?"......

[shaknys]

Dog in this piece reflects how I feel - caught between light and shadow, trying to release my burdens like a lantern into the sky... I hope it resonates with someone out there and if it does - we can do it, don't give up 💛🫂

When I started creating this painting, I really wanted to make something special. I was searching for the right references, but I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Then I remembered the famous works of old masters—one of them was Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine. I wanted to create something similar in composition. At that time, my artistic style was just starting to take shape, and its main feature was often a cute doll-like figure with a realistic face.

Somehow, I felt that such an innocent, delicate, and vulnerable being needed to be held by something completely opposite to create a stark contrast, making her the centerpiece of the painting. I chose the Reaper. I decided he would be the most fitting for this role.

When I had painted most of the artwork, and it was clear who was holding the girl, a client came to me for a tattoo session. At that time, I was working as a tattoo artist, and I didn’t know that she had cancer. She was in the final stage of the disease and could no longer walk. Her husband carried her to the second floor, where she saw my painting.

I felt slightly uneasy, even uncomfortable, but her words froze me. She wanted me to tattoo that painting on her because, as she said, she didn’t have much time left anyway. At first, without thinking too long, I told her, “Let’s let this one heal first, and then we’ll decide how to proceed with the next step.” I said the idea wasn’t bad at all.

But after she left, I realized that I would never, ever tattoo this artwork on her. Despite her seeing herself in my painting and recognizing how death was already holding her in its arms, I believe in energy. I have a very strong energy force myself, and honestly, I was afraid to tattoo this painting on her. I feared that I might unintentionally accelerate her departure from this world.

September is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month. I wanted to draw for the cause- one that has affected not only me, but countless of other people. There are a few subtle nods in the art itself about resilience and healing-- things that take a long while to do for those who have been affected.

The art may be a bit late in the month, but the message is always right on time.

The Issuhiro deer seems to be a longstanding symbol for many things in Issuhiro. I know for me, I drift towards the animal in more symbolic artworks.

This is slightly more stylized than how I regularly would finish up a drawing, but seemed perfect for Sketchtember. It also reminds me of how I used to 'set'/stage are several years ago too. I used HB, 2B and 4B graphite pencil (mix of my fairly old proArts and more recent Faber-Castell), along with watercolor pencils. Some mixed media applications were used as well.

This is why preserving historical art with new architecture leads to national identity. The boat statue at the Al Shindagha Historic District is a stunning installation that captures the spirit of Dubai's rich maritime heritage. This art piece is a beautiful reminder of the city's deep connection to the sea while showcasing the creativity and innovation that define the Sikka Art Festival. Dubai's cultural landscape offers a unique blend of traditional and contemporary art.

Unveiling the Soul's Palette: A Spiritual Odyssey Through Artistic Expression

Introduction:

Art, in its myriad forms, has long been regarded as a conduit for the soul's expression and a pathway to transcendence. This article embarks on a journey into the realms of creativity, exploring how artistic expression becomes a sacred language, unravelling inspiration and meaning that resonates deep within the human spirit.

The Spiritual Essence of Art:

Artistic expression is a spiritual journey—a medium through which individuals connect with the divine, the inner self, and the world around them. Whether through painting, music, dance, or any creative endeavour, the artist becomes a vessel, channeling inspiration that transcends the ordinary and delves into the realm of the extraordinary.

The Dance Between Spirituality and Creativity:

Creativity, at its core, is a spiritual force. It draws from the wellspring of imagination and intuition, tapping into a source beyond the material world. Artists, consciously or unconsciously, engage in a dance with the spiritual, where the act of creation becomes a sacred ritual, an offering of one's essence to the universe.

Art as a Reflection of the Soul:

Artistic expression serves as a mirror to the soul, reflecting the artist's emotions, experiences, and inner landscapes. Every stroke of the brush, note played, or step taken in the dance reveals a layer of the artist's spiritual journey, inviting observers to connect with the essence of the human experience.

Discovering Inspiration in Nature:

Nature, a profound source of inspiration, often serves as a spiritual muse for artists. The interplay of light, colours, and form in the natural world resonates with the deepest corners of the soul. Through artistic expression, creators embark on a journey to capture the elusive beauty of nature, inviting viewers to witness the divine intricacies woven into the fabric of existence.

Art as a Portal to Transcendence:

Engaging in artistic expression opens a portal to transcendence—a space where the artist transcends the limits of the physical world and touches the ethereal. Whether it's the euphoria of a musician lost in the melody or a painter immersed in the hues of a canvas, these moments of transcendence connect the artist with a higher, spiritual plane.

The Sacred Ritual of Creation:

Artistic creation, viewed through a spiritual lens, becomes a sacred ritual. The process of bringing forth something new, whether a sculpture, a poem, or a dance, mirrors the act of cosmic creation. Artists, consciously or unconsciously, align with the universal flow, becoming co-creators in the ongoing dance of existence.

Art as a Source of Healing:

Artistic expression holds profound healing potential. It serves as a medium for individuals to process emotions, navigate challenges, and find solace. In the act of creation, whether through visual arts, music, or movement, artists tap into a wellspring of healing energy that not only transforms their own souls but extends its touch to those who engage with the artwork.

The Intersection of Spirituality and Visual Arts:

Visual arts, with its kaleidoscope of colours and forms, provides a canvas for spiritual exploration. From ancient religious paintings to contemporary abstract expressions, visual artists translate the ineffable aspects of the spiritual realm into tangible, visual experiences that resonate with the viewer's soul, inviting them to contemplate the mysteries of existence.

Music as a Divine Harmony:

Music, often referred to as the universal language, is a profound medium for spiritual expression. Composers, musicians, and listeners alike partake in a shared journey through melodic landscapes that stir emotions and evoke transcendence. In the intricate dance of notes, music becomes a divine harmony that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, connecting humanity at its spiritual core.

Dance as Sacred Movement:

Dance, a form of artistic expression through movement, becomes a sacred ritual that bridges the physical and spiritual realms. In the graceful sway of a dancer or the rhythmic pounding of feet, individuals connect with the primal energy that courses through their bodies, transcending the mundane and invoking the divine through the language of movement.

The Written Word as Spiritual Alchemy:

Literature, poetry, and written expression serve as alchemical processes, transforming words into vessels of spiritual wisdom. Writers, poets, and storytellers wield the power to weave narratives that illuminate the human experience, offering readers a glimpse into the spiritual tapestry that binds us all.

Art as a Catalyst for Spiritual Awakening:

Artistic expression has the potential to awaken dormant aspects of the soul. Whether an artist or an observer, engagement with art becomes a catalyst for spiritual awakening. Through the act of creation or the contemplation of created works, individuals may experience profound shifts in consciousness, leading to a deeper understanding of their spiritual selves.

The Role of Intuition in Creative Expression:

Intuition, often considered a spiritual compass, guides the artist in the act of creation. Whether making spontaneous brushstrokes or improvising musical notes, artists tap into their intuitive wisdom, allowing the spirit to guide their hands and hearts. In this dance of spontaneity, the artist becomes a conduit for spiritual inspiration.

Art as a Tool for Self-Discovery:

Engaging in artistic expression is a journey of self-discovery. Through the creative process, individuals uncover hidden facets of their psyche, confront unresolved emotions, and forge a deeper connection with their inner selves. Art becomes a mirror that reflects the multidimensional nature of the human spirit.

Expressing Spirituality in Everyday Art:

Artistic expression need not be confined to traditional forms. Everyday activities, from cooking and gardening to crafting and decorating, can be infused with spiritual meaning. By approaching these activities with intention and mindfulness, individuals can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, transforming the mundane into a canvas for spiritual expression.

Art as a Bridge Between Cultures:

In a globalized world, art serves as a bridge between diverse cultures and spiritual traditions. Artists draw inspiration from their cultural roots, creating works that transcend borders and foster a universal understanding of the human experience. Through shared artistic expressions, humanity finds common ground in its collective spiritual journey.

Artistic Community as a Spiritual Sanctuary:

Artistic communities, whether physical or virtual, offer a sanctuary for spiritual exploration. Collaborative ventures, shared exhibitions, and collective creative endeavors become spaces where artists and enthusiasts alike commune, exchanging spiritual insights and collectively contributing to the ongoing dialogue of the human spirit.

Conclusion:

Artistic expression, in its myriad forms, becomes a pilgrimage for the soul—a sacred journey of inspiration, transcendence, and self-discovery. Whether through the stroke of a brush, the resonance of a chord, or the fluid movement of a dancer, artists and appreciators alike embark on a spiritual odyssey through the boundless realms of creativity. In the act of creation and appreciation, individuals connect with the divine, weaving a tapestry that celebrates the eternal dance between the material and the spiritual, leaving an indelible mark on the collective soul of humanity.

"After the Fireworks" 💛🐾

A sparkler. Small but persistent. Still glowing, even after the noise and chaos have ended.

This painting is my reminder that life doesn’t need grand resolutions or glittering fireworks. Like a dog who joyfully ignores expectations, we just need to keep moving forward - joyfully messy, perfectly imperfect.

For 2025, I’m choosing to focus on small, steady steps. Because even the tiniest spark can light the way, no matter how smoky or overwhelming things seem.

Your spark is enough.

Thank you for being ☀️
