Coming Home to the Self

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about why I do what I do, and why I love working with the people who come to me.  Basically, it’s because I was that person. Rewind a few years and I was very unhappy.  Initially I tried to tell myself that I was ‘fine’, or at least that…

What is Not Expressed

I started this painting in the afternoon after a day of revelations. I was satisfied. A door has opened for me into where all the questions about what I wanted to do came to rest. I’ll write about this sometime later. In the painting, the drawing in grayish green came into the paper from above…

A Day Free from School

I wouldn’t mind having a big room where on the clean floor somewhere farther than the middle this will stand just a line maybe dark grey as here and people will get a little book of white thick paper and a beautiful small collection of very soft oil crayons to do anything they want with…

What Will Happen Next?

I thought about this many times lately. It was like an old friend, knocking on my window to wake me up. Drawing is my most direct expression. When I started doing abstract drawings many years ago, I was thinking about sculptures that I wanted to make. I did not have the how to, the where…

Equenergy Blog is Back!

Hello again! I’m back – a week later than planned, but I’m here now, and I thought I’d give you a bit of an update on what’s been happening here at Equenergy. The original plan was to take time off from posting here and to use it instead for reflection and for focusing on some…

The Sixth Bull

The pink Is riding the ochre The pink is a saint We know this by the halo He’s also a juggler And even if his clubs Fall They never reach the ground Just like him The drawing lines Try to be A judge A piano A horse A boat in Venice To make the people…

The Art That You Are

As soon as I finished it and I wanted to go to bed, I felt that there was something good in it. I saw it in passing two more times that night and the feeling was still there. In the morning it became clear to me that I really like this one very much. This…

How Chronic Pain Impacts on Life

I joined the social network for A Chronic Voice earlier this year because I needed to find people who understand what life is like with chronic pain. Today I have written a post using the September link-up prompts, to show my experience of living with a chronic pain disorder. Click here to find other blog…

Don’t Worry, Mama

Under the drawing lines there are only two shapes. One is yellow. One is multi colored. The drawing lines above the second, bigger shape, were used as borders among the colors. The drawing and the multi colored shape became glued to each other through this. They became one. But from the top of the multi…

I Am

I am. I think of A. I make A out of myself. In order for A to be A, it needs B all around it. So B is created too just as I create A. Now A, a part of me who is different from everything else, and B, also a part of me who…

Layers

Yesterday and today I did two new paintings. I did them small. You finish faster this way and are able to see what you made immediately. I look at the second one now, the one I just finished. The first one is also interesting to share and maybe it will be in the next entry….
