Creative Work 43
When at my worst, I paint, I paint, and I paint, usually on a large scale, with my bare hands. This one was painted during the period where I was just beginning to emerge from 'the worst' of my depression.
It is a self portrait. I chose to depict my purest form, my chakral form - pure energy, pure emotion. I first meditated upon myself and my chakras, and then sat and painted what I saw & felt.
Mostly this painting is about the beauty I feel we are all capable of, all have within us. The silver feathers represent the pure, angelic element which I feel is present in us all, always. It is a painting about freedom, of freeing our emotions and our energies in order to heal. For me, it's painting represented a slave overcoming it's master - me overcoming my depression which had ruled my life for so long, and learning to love myself.
