DROWNING

Acrylic on Canvas.

45 x 55 cm

Based on a true story about an angst my teenager.

In 2018, I had near death drowning scare and that’s scarred me for so long,

In 2020 when I painted this, I wasn’t literally drowning but life was draining me. It was scary and it somehow felt easier to drown than be in that place.

Fast forward, I have grown, embraced all there is to embrace and managed the angst that comes with getting into adulthood.

It’s uncomfortable, it’s painful, excruciatingly endearing, hopeful and a mix of so many complex properties.

And so I keep my head above water, everyday, longer than the day before.

CLOUD GAZING

Acrylic on Canvas

80 x 100 Cm

My time in Malmo was nothing short of beautiful.
I lived by the western Harbor and experienced so many sunsets during summer .
I also felt lonely a lot of times. The sunset and beautiful gazers were mostly couples or families and sometimes groups of close friends.

I always wondered what it would feel like to gaze at the clouds, observing shapes and movements of clouds while getting kisses on the forehead and laying my head on someone’s shoulders.

I don’t know yet but I haven’t lost any hope either.

Scroll to see some candid moments I captured at the Harbour or Vastra Hamnen as it’s called in Swedish

¿WHERE DID OUR CHILDHOOD GO?

Acrylic on Canvas

80 x 100 cm

When I was a little girl, I dreamt of living in Newyork. Wearing heels and killing it as a lawyer. Maybe it was Olivia pope or Condoleza Rice.
Nothing seemed impossible.

And now that I am older and living life in Europe, I have been filled with fears like, “sharp colors are intimidating”
“You can’t wear red to an interview because it will intimidate the interviewer”, you get punished for showing up wholly.

What if red is the color that’s sets me off to the sky, the color of my superhero suit?

I have become my biggest judge Judy.
If I dream of being anything even closest to the sun, I will look at myself with disgust for being delusional.

I want to be like that little girl, who knew she could fly across the globe because birds can, she didn’t care about money or how she was going to get there but first she dreamed in color.

I want that part of my childhood back.

This art piece sets to ask the question of why we become so afraid of being loud in the way we dress, the way we show up.

We not only humble ourselves but the world demands it of us whilst sulking in their own doubt.

Who is going to protect our dreams now that we are conscious? Because nobody tells kids that they can’t dream. As soon as they grow we crash them before they hatch.

WHERE DID OUR CHILDHOOD?

//ESCAPE//

A digital collage. Made of spring flowers , water and rocks from Malmo.

During the Pandemic, I discovered I had so many pictures that I hadn’t put to use.

So I thought of new ways of mixing elements together.

How can I make photography abstract?

How can teleport myself into the unknown to discover new worlds?

The process of making these sometimes takes me longer than physical paintings because I am keen to every detail where as with hand paintings I embrace imperfections of being human

¿FIRST CONVERSATIONS¿

Highlights how being physically present doesn’t necessarily indicate true engagement during a date.

My inner thoughts and reflections often drown out the voices of my date.

Across the table, my date is self absorbed into the great office guy.

Finding heaven

I can pride myself in having a photographic memory but dreams test me . Most times they are dark and twisted . They feed on my fears and the last things I was concerned about before I slept off.

Other times, s**t don’t even make sense, they resurrect people I would never interact with. Dreams involuntary put me in spaces I didn’t sign up for .

I prefer dreaming when I am awake, I twist and redirect my own stories, I feel powerful doing it. Why? Because I feel powerful. The dreams or fantasies I make up, live to please me and my alternate world, they take me to the promised land . That’s a survival skill I will talk about a mother day.

DROWNING

Acrylic on Canvas.

Based on a true story about an angst my teenager.

In 2018, I had near death drowning scare and that’s scarred me for so long,

In 2020 when I painted this, I wasn’t literally drowning but life was draining me. It was scary and it somehow felt easier to drown than be in that place.

Fast forward, I have grown, embraced all there is to embrace and managed the angst that comes with getting into adulthood.

And so I keep my head above water, everyday, longer than the day before.
