I thought as I am displaying Dlob Moxel at the cam creatives art show, I would share its story.
I am not a professional or established artist, I do not have any education in art aside from a couple of months at college where I dropped out of. I am just someone who likes to draw and thinks I’m okay at it.
🎨
After many years I finally grabbed a sketchpad to draw the original piece Dlob (Bold spelt backwards) just as a doodle back in 2023 where Dlob Moxel is derived from. At this time I felt I was finally going to merge on this very new journey, to build confidence in my abilities, to take small and humble steps to embrace my uniqueness into something good and new.
✏️
It has been difficult to find time and enthusiasm for any aspects of art unfortunately, though the constant yearning to get embroiled in it all has always felt very deep but never taking any action.I had placed my wishes for art on hold until the right opportunity should arose. I had told myself I would wait until I am retired, but it would seem an absolute eternity until I reached that point in my life. I decided to stop making excuses and to finally take action, so here I am!
🖌️
Dlob Moxel was derived from the original Dlob because of its poor condition. The transformation has been challenging at times and I thought I would never complete it but I am glad I persevered, despite my lack of knowledge and the amount of work, it is a piece I am very proud of.
🎨
The photo editing software I used wasn’t easy as I had no experience using it. Upon uploading and on closer inspection, I realised that this was going to be a lot of work. I had to reconstruct the drawing entirely, even moving sections. I ended up moving whole sections by just a few millimetres, adding new components, changing colours almost all the time. If you look at the photo of both art works you can clearly see the difference, Dlob - Has a brown eye. I do infact have Dlob Moxel with a brown eye as a limited edition print that only my daughter has. There isn’t a message to portray from the piece itself except from the colourful and bold abstract randomness shown but it does have a warm hearted and interesting story.
