My Painting “Lady and Gramophone”
Ah, friends, today I bring you on a journey through time and texture, right into the heart of my original contemporary figurative painting, “Lady and Gramophone”. Settle in, get yourself a cup of coffee, because we’re about to unravel the wonders of acrylic on canvas.
An Acrylic Journey
Imagine this if you will. A perfectly square-shaped canvas, tastefully painted in layers that invite an almost ethereal light blue-green background. Acrylic, a medium that can be rough as sandpaper or smooth as a baby’s cheek, becomes the invisible, silent storyteller.
The Merged Magic of the Gramophone
Let’s draw our gaze to the right of the painting, where you’ll spy the somewhat enigmatic presence of a gramophone. This is not your run-of-the mill gramophone; heavens no! It’s enveloped with an all-new coat of blue-green and yellow offering it a dreamy disposition, one that subtly merges with the backdrop in silent symphony.
It’s like the gramophone is playing an elusive game of ‘now you see me, now you don’t.’ Fun, isn’t it?
An Artistic Lady in the Spotlight
Moving onto center stage, eyes are immediately drawn to the radiance of a beautiful young woman, an enchantress placed elegantly, sitting in an artistic pose. She’s painted in shades of red, yellow, blues and greens, a contrast that highlights her imposing aura against the canvas.
Imagine if Dorothy had wandered not into Oz, but into a world of color and vibrance, just ready for the picking. That’s our lady for you, a majestically stylized figure, resplendent in her stunning posture, marking her dominion, her existence on the canvas, with absolute élan.
Signature Checks, Celebrating Uniqueness
The woman in the painting is no ordinary woman. Not a single inch of her figure is mundane or common. She is a tapestry woven from myriad hues, harmoniously strung together, by the rhythm of horizontal and vertical lines. Ah! And did I mention these are the signature checks?
Yes, indeed! These checks, friends, they’re my personal touch, my artistic signature that breathes life and uniqueness into her figure, adding a compelling layer of complexity to her entire demeanour.
Capturing Moments, Weaving Stories
So, what’s the yarn I’m spinning with this painting? It’s a simple one, truly. It’s about capturing a moment, a moment of unadulterated bliss, of relaxation. It’s about this woman, our star, lounging in her colorful appearance, dancing lines playing across her figure, as she loses herself in the rich mellifluous notes wafting from the gramophone.
You see, “Lady and Gramophone” isn’t just your typical painting you’d find in any art sale. It is a concerted portrayal of serenity and joy that art paintings rarely aim to capture.
Is it the kind of art that hangs in every home, on every street corner? Maybe. Maybe not. But it is a painting that comes with an evocative story, one that resonates differently with everyone who happens to come across it.
My Painting – a Unique Tale
Every stroke of this painting has woven a unique tale, a tale that bursts forth every time someone casts their eyes on it. It’s got a personality, a life of its own that lends a captivating aesthetic appeal to any space it graces.
For those seeking art that doesn’t just blend into the background, but makes a statement, “Lady and Gramophone” could very well be your answer.
“Art varies with the perception of the viewer, and perceptions are as different and unique as snowflakes. Art may not be able to change the world, but it sure does make it more colourful, wouldn’t you say?”
That’s the beauty of paintings, the ultimate realm of creation, where boundaries blur and imagination takes flight.
So, as I close the chapter on the narrative of my painting “Lady and Gramophone”, I leave you with a thought: whichever corner of this mesmerizing world you’re in, this affordable art online can bring a piece of my world into yours.
Explore. Lose yourself. Discover. After all, art isn’t about seeing; it’s about feeling.
About my Series “We Two Together”:
“Painting is another way of keeping a Diary” Pablo Picasso. The quote by Pablo Picasso holds immense influence over my figurative paintings. In today’s digital age, where information is readily available at the click of a button, our lives and relationships have undergone a significant transformation. The pages of my life’s diary are filled with experiences of evolving relationships, which I strive to portray through my artwork.
Motivated to stay in stride with the changing world, my artistic focus primarily revolves around the contemporary woman of today. This modern-day woman is a symbol of versatility, fuelled by independence and self-attained equilibrium. She is complete, flawless, and self-sufficient in every aspect and challenge that life presents. Free from the constraints that hold her back, she has the power to realize her true self.
By consistently simplifying the form, I have crafted a universal, absolute figure that represents and relates to all women, irrespective of their differences and peculiarities. The protagonists in my artworks transcend boundaries and divisions, uniting and amalgamating all women through a shared, common soul. This interconnectedness brings women together as a collective force.
Rendered in a controlled and mature color palette, the strong, modern women in my paintings make no attempt to hide or shy away. I consciously choose to refrain from incorporating ornamental accessories and excessive details. This intentional ambiguity enhances the universal appeal of the form, making it relatable to women from all walks of life.
Within my paintings, women are depicted willingly surrendering themselves to boundless affection in some instances, while in others, they emotionally detach themselves from relationships devoid of respect and freedom. Regardless of their choices regarding relationships, these women excel at refraining from pretence and superficial living. Their authenticity shines through their actions.
Fundamentally believing in the equality of gender, I recognize that men and women are integral parts of each other’s lives. However, it remains a well-known fact that women have been historically deprived of their rights and, most importantly, their respect. As a woman myself, I have always strived to give women the importance they truly deserve. Therefore, they take center stage and occupy the most prominent positions in my artworks.
To symbolize the pursuit of perfection within the modern human race, I employ symmetrical forms like squares, rectangles, checks, and butterflies to cover the human figures in my paintings. These geometric shapes represent the desire for flawlessness and balance, encapsulating the aspirations and struggles we all face as individuals striving for fulfillment.
In each stroke of my brush, I aim to create a vivid portrayal of the contemporary woman – powerful, resilient, and unapologetically herself. Through my figurative paintings, I hope to evoke emotions, challenge norms, and ignite a dialogue that encapsulates the essence of being a woman in the present era.
