“In the womb of creation, I am the seed of potential.”
Some new year free flow, some new paint strokes, gotta let shit get weird. People gonna judge anyway. Stepping into that new energy, where sensuality is fruitful. Breaking free from that mould.
Authenticity is a magnet, what are you trying to attract? by @55hueman

~ The Mirror ~

Self portrait series shot on DSLR

This self portrait series was taken back in autumn during the making phase of the painting ‘The Surface of Creation.’

The idea for this series developed not as a singular identity of a painting but as an exploration of my self as an artist through the dual lens of painting and photography. The painting is symbolic of the sun being a mirror to humanity, reminding us that we are also creators. An invitation to step into the potential of fully harnessing that power.

The self portraits tell my story of the doubt and fear that comes with understanding that potential. It is about how that creation has manifested within me as an artist and how that can feel like being stripped naked and vulnerable. They explore the feeling of wanting to hide from the mirror and from the suffering and pleasure that comes with being an artist and the feeling of acceptance and ultimate gratitude that comes when you do finally face it.

~ The Surface of Creation ~

Acrylic on 150cm x 125cm canvas

The creation of this painting begun at the end autumn and was completed in the beginning of spring, though I hope it’s journey will continue on with every eye and soul that sees it.

I wanted to make something in dedication to creation, in dedication to life and to the glory of the sun. This painting is a mirror, a reflection of self as a creator and to humanity as a collective consciousness. It echoes the spirit of creation and destruction, the same threads that weave us together.

The sun is a portal, it is a mirror to our soul, a reminder that we have been blessed with the honour of being creators. We must use that gift in a positive way. The energy of the world is shifting, we are being called to make a change. One of love and liberation.

If you’re reading this, I urge you to start alchemising your thoughts and begin making art, in anyway you can. We are constantly in a mode of creating, within every breath we take. Consider what breath you could breathe into forming a new reality made from your own finger tips. Art should never be a privilege, it is not reserved to certain people, it belongs to all of us and we are all capable.

Shes been calling…
I’ve been dreaming of her,
I’ve been hiding from the reflection she holds,
Returning back to creation ~

I started this creation back in May after having visions of painting the sun. I didn’t fully understand why but I chased after it anyways, and conjured it into reality.. slowly. I didn’t see the sun in the way it shows its self day to day, dancing on the soil, our glowing orb in the sky. I saw its surface, dangerous and beautiful. I felt its power and its flares of solar energy pulsating, like my own body pulsates.

This creation has been patient with me, it’s allowed my contemplation and my refusal. I realise now why it’s been so difficult for me to complete. Because of the reflection it holds. As it is not just the mystery of creation I paint, it is the mirror of humanity. Many of those who have seen the painting have thought I was painting hell, or something divine.

It pushes and pulls, dances and breathes. It is creation and with it destruction, just like our time on earth. I realise now why I have hid from it, why I cried when I first began to paint it. Because it holds the suffering of our mortality, and also the power we hold as creators.

From this painting, there has been many other works following. I will share more soon 🌞

“Staring Down Fate”

This is the final painting in the series I did for my contemporary art class, the first being the awareness of death, the second the fear, the third the acceptance and this painting - the fourth, the embrace.
It represents the mind and death fully embracing each other, the ocean of consciousness behind them, the sun a portal to life. Eyes open, heart facing death, protecting something sacred. An understanding that fear and acceptance are two sides of the same coin and that death is a teacher we will one day have the honour of embracing. by @55hueman

“Death Waits Quietly Inside Man”

This is my third painting in the series I did for my contemporary art class. In this painting I wanted to illustrate the acceptance of death. There is an ending to our physical creation that will one day extend beyond our knowing and there shouldn’t be much fear in that. The mind represented in the doorway sits on the edge of the shoreline, looking at death being covered by the grains of time. There is a distance between them, a quiet knowing. by @55hueman

“The Eventuality of Life”

This is the second painting I did for a series I made in my contemporary art class. This painting depicts the inner turmoil of facing the eventuality of life - death. The man has his back turned to the reality, when he looks to death he only see the fear. He faces the void of his mind, unable to accept the beauty of truth. That all things must pass, even life itself. by @55hueman

“Etched Into The Mind”

This painting is the first in a series I made for my contemporary art class. The series explores themes of consciousness and the mind and the duality of fear and acceptance around death.

This painting represents the conscious awareness that one day you will die. The chamber of doorways are symbolic of the mind, the pink is a glimpse to the ocean of consciousness and death. The rays that spread across the space echo this consciousness within the mind. by @55hueman

I painted Bowie! An artist I admire for many reasons, I wanted his portrait in my studio as a reminder to be authentic in life and in my art and to be absolutely outrageous. I chose to paint him as Ziggy because that album in particular means so much to me. It’s story of an alien on mars coming down to earth to sing us his songs of darkness and dismay was not just some artists imagination on fire, it was a reflection of the times and its truth brings me comfort when the state of our world leaves its heavy grip on my heart. ✌🏼❤️ by @55hueman
