"MINDFUL WANDERINGS" (triptich in oils)
The painting in the centre is a size of A1 square and the right and left hand paintings are rectangular A1 size. Inspiration for this piece from Chagall.
I made this triptitch as my first set of coursework for my AS level art and design sept. '08 feb. '09. The picture in the centre is a piece based on the feeling of being totally enveloped by a variety of emotions. The fire and the deformed hand in the bottom right represent being brought down by frustration, anger, and pain. The swirls in the top left (inspired by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night') represent the swirling motion of ideas and thoughts in my mind. The surrene skies depicted in the top right represent tranquility. The motion of her arm reaching towards this shows her desire to reach such a place without the fire dragging her down. The girl in the picture is based on photos of my friend Frankie. I exaggerated her hair in order to make her look more regal and in control of her surroundings.
