Self Portrait of the Artist as imagined, with Elderberries and it's delicate florets.
Inspired by the fascination of the taste, aroma and the beauty of Elderflower trees when they are in season.
*IDEA: It is all about poetry. The songs and poems written about Elderflower. We must allow ourselves to embrace what the nature presents to us in life. Open all the senses t smell, taste and absorb the beauty.
*PROCESS: Creative expression through medium manipulation and
idea generation from personal stories are the approaches of realising this piece.
Beautiful complimentary colour display with patiently rendered rhythmic flow patterns of my signature stripes. Self representation of portraiture with romantic symbolism.
*INFLUENCE: Deeply expressive facial features and body movements in my works are highly influenced by my cultural heritage and decades long figure studies of historical frescoes in caves and murals in spiritual locations from my birth country.
