Colour pencils & marker. 2015.
One of my latest pieces, merging fantastical aesthetics and influence of phantasmagoric narratives. While I am still exploring different styles and concepts to implement in my work I have always found my ideas to fall in line with surrealistic art. Much like the frontmen of Surrealism, I attempt to illustrate imagery that spontanely comes to me as a result of my emotionality. The media used with this drawing were black pen and colour pencils.
A bird in a pomegranate is in itself an obscure thing to see. But its deeper meaning may hold insight to my own insecurities and longings. The bird's uncanny state raises doubt of its vitality - it might be dead, hibernating in a dream, or a pupa yet to be hatched ... The fruit shell hugs it snugly, blanketing it from the world which could be translated to my own encounter with fears, changes, and vulnerability.
