Close up. Sorry for my shaking hands, but just look into these beautiful eyes… Just look a little longer, please, and tell me—do you feel something unusual in them?

Bihar’s Indigenous Tikuli Art!

If Madhubani and Patna Kalam had to have a baby, it would look like Tikuli art! Bihar’s indigenous art form that dates back about 800 years and borrows its proportional figures from Patna Kalam, and its themes of daily life and celebrating festivals from Madhubani, has been reinstated in the commercial mainstream of indigenous art forms, and in doing so, has provided sustainable livelihood to thousands of women. https://www.indiaartndesign.com/bihars-indigenous-tikuli-art/

Make me a reasonable offer on this. Finding unfinished pieces and working on them. Artworks are never finished, they’re abandoned. In its own way it’s how I work through my own abandonment issues. #archangel #portrait #paintingonwood #art #illustration (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrjAonkOlOH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inspiration can come from anywhere no matter what the event. Sometimes you just need to let your emotions out through creation. 🌸 🔥 🫁 #rosegeranium #lungs #votive #fire #smoke #breath #breathe #breathing #candle #acrylicpainting #illustration #paintingonwood #takeadeepbreath #breathout https://www.instagram.com/p/CdL9yvnuPRc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a very unusual painting. I had already noticed that some either show me the future or something similar, or depict events involving other people. But this one... To be honest, it unsettled me. I didn’t know exactly who the person in it was, but I simply created it. The essence was that in the playroom, a small rabbit was slaughtered, and a girl was running out with a knife in her hand. Blood was supposed to have splattered on the walls and her dress. From her expression in the painting, you can see that she feels not so much guilty as completely bewildered, as if this had been her child and, because of her, such a terrible tragedy occurred. We see on the floor a balloon in the shape of a heart, almost fully deflated as if taking its last breath. And it lies in a pool of blood, which says far more than I need to explain here. In short, the painting was very depressing.

I still clearly remember that at the time, one of my close friends, with whom I had a very strong bond and still do, was pregnant and about to give birth. She was abroad then and was debating whether to return to our country. And at one moment, I realized that the painting was trying to warn me about what awaited her.

I froze. I couldn’t continue working on it. I understood that the child was facing death. I took a knife, and, saying “no,” I cut the entire canvas with a steady hand. I didn’t want to have any influence over what would happen because I felt a part of the responsibility rested on my actions. Even though it was just a painting and a brush in my hands, I believe in much greater forces, and I believe they somehow act through my body and life. Every work I paint carries with it information that can materialize, but somehow it visits me first and shows me the event. So I took the knife and simply destroyed the painting. I didn’t want to contribute to what might happen. Once I had completely shredded it, I burned it.

A few hours later, I learned that my friend had decided to return to our country and give birth here. Her decision was very serious because when she returned and the time came to give birth, there were complications. Had she stayed in the other country, she wouldn’t have understood the doctors, nor they her, and a cesarean section would have been performed. But along with that, there was a 90% chance the child wouldn’t have survived.

So, after this painting, it was hard for me to paint others for some time. I realized how a simple drawing, the information within it, which comes before the event, and failing to change it, could have such consequences. I don’t know if this is a gift or a curse, but it’s very challenging to see and understand what exactly a painting is trying to say.

Nevertheless, I continue my painting and try to discover recurring symbols in them so that I can at least begin to orient myself not only intuitively but also visually.

I also forgot to mention the details in the painting. On one of the balloons that the rabbit was holding, it said ‘Happy Birthday.’ On the chair, there was a cake, and on the clock, there was my birth time and date. Plus, on the walls, there were several faces, almost like observers, and the number of those faces matched the number of people who were in the delivery room when she gave birth.

The painting seemed to be speaking to me, but it was only at the last moment that I realized what it was trying to say. The important thing is that I managed to take the right step, as I see it, and interrupted that story, which was slowly being painted.

Crazy Cat…a few years ago I worked on all types of found wood and this panel I purchased at a Goodwill outlet and was going to gesso over it but it had this little cute mouse someone had painted so I decided to make it a collaboration with the dad mouse reading a scary crazy cat story before bedtime because that’s what dad’s do. #bedtimestory #mouse #crazycat #childrensillustration #paintingonwood #lowbrowpopsurrealists #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBMZtyJnWv/?utm_medium=tumblr
