Ishani's Stuff

What do you see in this painting? This painting, like all my pieces, has some obvious meanings and other hidden clues to let the viewer become aware of emotions, thoughts, ideas and lead them to search within themselves. I love listening to your interpretations, many times I get messages about what my work makes you feel or what you think it is about and I am fascinated to be able to witness the power of art. How it opens different universes through different people. During my visit to the @metmuseum , I became passionate about Egyptian culture and religion and realized that the only thing I knew were stories of aliens, so I started studying. This piece is 1/3 . The name hasn't arrived yet, I'm giving it space, time. People refer to the God Ra (one of the most important Egyptians gods), through the Egyptian Scarab Beetle. 🪲 It's a symbol of protection against disease and death. It's also interpreted as a symbol of resurrection. You know (maybe you don't 🤔 lol) that I love gold. And a lot of my art has gold foil, and it always represents connection to the Divine; sacredness. So this is a very personal interpretation of Strength. Spot the 90's kid item 😂 on it too. And if you wish, share with me your interpretation on this piece. I would LOVE to read it. 🪲 All my love to you 🙂 #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #pdxartist #portrait #egypt #beetle #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #90sfashion #oilpainting #figurative #abstractpainting (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJnDdWSV1U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been a lot. And it happens to me that suddenly I just don’t wanna talk. But I have art to express what the mystical path shows me. I also managed to write an ebook about that magical journey of inspiration, spirituality and art and hopefully soon I will present it to you. I’ll keep you posted when I post. For now I’m so 🙄🥱 with social media. Ok, bye. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #artist #painter #mujeresartistas #pdxartist #spirituality #artistjourney #ishaniebook (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilfwwgPKpd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've always felt my heart crush when people fight. And over time I have learned that it is resistance that causes pain. Another watercolor of the Lunar eclipse. A color palette full of depth and meaning. Loose strokes and lots of water. Peace and silent hugs, dead judgments. Calm. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #watercolor #oregonart #oregonartists #figurativeart #portrait #watercolorpainting #lunareclipse2021 #ishanilabyrinth #schminckefan #abstractthinking #artcollector (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWeNkeGBWqc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I painted this. Then I realized we are living a lunar eclipse. I’m grateful to witness how the stars get aligned. The next time Earth will see a partial lunar eclipse as lengthy as this one will be on February 8, 2669. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #artist #painter #watercolor #lunareclipse #moon #eclipse #oregonartist #mujeresartistas #moonenergy #witchesofinstagram #illustration (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWcGZ-EpxsA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Little by little I learn to observe. And I feel blessed to know how to witness and stay as still as I can to witness the magic unfold. Then I understood that my path required that I transfer all those clues that I see to the canvas and this story is no exception. Just at the perfect moment, the perfect message appeared. I was coming back from walking in the woods and I saw an oil stain on the street that immediately reminded me of Helix (a nebula commonly known as the eye of God), later while I was cooking, through the window I could see a blue bird playing in the bushes and I stood for minutes looking at him and smiling. I didn't take a picture of him because I was busy enjoying him playing, but then I googled it and it turned out to be a blue jay. Here’s the result. The meaning of the blue jay is a sign of good communication and a sign to persist. It symbolizes protection and fearlessness. Helix is ​​the closest nebula we can see from earth and it advertises the death of the stars, in this piece is immerse in the never ending universe. For me is an interpretation of the stars as the beliefs, as the separate shiny ideas, those will die and will melt into the vastness of the Universe which will prevail. The wood, through time, has come to represent integrity, strength, sensitivity and protection. I decided not to be so detailed in this piece but to use free strokes and let the painting appear as free as the message is. Oh and also I painted with a limited palette because no studio no supplies yet 😂 All my love to every single heart out there ♥️ #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #painter #artist #artoftheday #oregonart #ishanilabyrinth #artwork #spiritualart #love (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEJhCjP0Lz/?utm_medium=tumblr

¿Sabes cuál es otra forma de arte? El fluir. Es más delicada y me atrevería a decir que requiere más gracia que aprender alguna habilidad técnica. Me gusta estar lo más atenta que puedo, para entonces poder ver todas las pistas que se me presentan para fluir más, para soltar más, para ser más libre. El otoño en mi nueva ciudadcita me recuerda que todo tiene su tiempo perfecto, no todos los árboles cambian de color al mismo tiempo. Me recuerda que todo pasa, que donde había calorcito, también hay frío. Que el viento todo se lo lleva, todo menos la consciencia eternamente quieta que lo observa todo. Feliz mi día favorito de la semana!! 🍂 🍂🍂🍂🍂 Do you know what is another art form? To flow. It is more delicate and I daresay it requires more grace than learning some technical skill. I like to be as aware as I can, so that I can see all the clues that are presented to me to flow more, to let go more, to be more free. Autumn in my new tiny town reminds me that everything has its perfect time, not all trees change colors at the same time. It reminds me that everything comes and goes, that where there was warmth, there is also cold. That the wind takes everything away, everything except the eternally still consciousness that observes everything. Happy my favorite day of the week !! #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #artist #artwork #videoart #autumn #fall #meditation #MondayLover #mondaymotivation #painter #oregonartists #letgo #fallaesthetic (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLY-dQDe5U/?utm_medium=tumblr

Study for my next painting. I’m super busy settling everything down in our new tiny town with my little family 🧑🏻‍💻🐶 It’s been wonderful to witness how much love surround us and comes from the purest part of our being, that still, magical part called the One. Hope everyone is having a blast! #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk (at Hillsboro, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5maGLsntc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Leí que ayer fue el día internacional de la belleza, o de la bonités, como yo diría. En mi estancia en este planeta me he dado cuenta de algunas cosas, como por ejemplo que la belleza no se trata acerca de la apariencia. Me parece más como una energía de cuidado del Ser, de ese único Ser que somos todos. Mientras más se interesa alguien por apreciar, agradecer y amar a los demás más belleza irradia. Ayer hice esta acuarela recordando la belleza de la creación sólo por el amor a crear. Sin estudio, sin mis miles de materiales, sin mesa, pero con amor infinito, puro y vivo. Al final fue un poco complicado dar los últimos detalles porque…vean la ultima foto 📷 ☁️ I read that yesterday was the international day of beauty, or “beautiness”, as I would say. In my stay on this planet I have come to realize a few things, such as that beauty is not about appearance. It seems to me more like an energy of caring for the Being, of that one Being that we all are. The more someone is interested in appreciating, thanking and loving others, the more beauty radiates. Yesterday I made this watercolor remembering the beauty of creation just for the love of creating. Without a studio, without my thousands of materials, without a desk, but with infinite, pure and living love. In the end it was a bit difficult to give the last details because… see the last photo 📷 (at Hillsboro, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTp2gDbBkSf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hola amigos del interneeeet!! Ando un poquitín desaparecida de esta vida del social media porque ando en la vida real con cosas de mudanza y cosas adultas de vivir en nuevo país.

Espero pronto volver a convivir por aquí como de costumbre 😅 les mando un abrazo gigante! ♥️ Hola amigos of the interneeeet !! I am a little away from this social media life because I am in real life dealing with adult stuff about living in a new country. I have finished my sketch of the following watercolor. And I have written a little blog about change and starting from scratch. The link is in my bio in case you want to read it. I hope to come here again soon as usual 😅 I send you a giant hug!

Algo que me gusta del arte digital es lo buena onda que se porta con las personas indecisas. Mismo pez bailarín, 3 fondos diferentes. 🐟 Something I like about digital art is how cool it is with indecisive people. Same dancing fish, 3 different backgrounds. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #Artist #digitalart #fishing #dancer #ballet #ballerina #ballerinaart #visualartist #mujeresartistas #oregonartist #pintoramexicana #mexicanartist #drawing #arte #artwork #artcollector #fish #dancingfish #danzacontemporanea #contemporaryart (at Oregon Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSMIXsIPM2/?utm_medium=tumblr

•Les poissons• One of my favorite hobbies is fishing. 🎣 For now I have only fished in the ocean and I love it! I did “Les poissons” in honor of the fascination that the sea and its mysteries cause me. I also returned to the nature of watercolor: Not controlling. This time I did not design the piece, I did not plan it, I did not draw it first, I just put water and pigment on the paper, without restriction, without perfect lines, only stains. And I also painted them because we had an accident in my little family, Hubby spilled Ophelia's Omega 3 bottle on the floor and the whole place smelled like fish 😖 so instead of resisting it, I decided to make a watercolor according to the smell 🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟 Uno de mis hobbies favoritos es la pesca. Por lo pronto sólo he pescado en mar abierto y me encanta. Hice “Les poissons” en honor a la fascinación que me causa el mar y sus misterios. También volví a la naturaleza de la acuarela: No controlar. Esta vez no diseñé la obra, no la planeé, no la dibujé, sólo fui poniendo agua y manchando con acuarela, sin restricción, sin líneas perfectas, sólo manchas. Y también los pinté porque en mi pequeña familia tuvimos un accidente. El esposo derramó la botella de Omega 3 de Ophelia en el piso y todo el lugar olía a pescado 😖 así que en lugar de resistirlo, decidí hacer una acuarela acorde al olor 🐟 #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #fishing #fishart #fishartwork #watercolor #watercolorartist #watercolorpainting #watercolordaily #oregoncoast #oregoncoastart #artiste #poissons #fishingpole (at Oregon Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTA-noeJbTQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Buscar y buscar. Correr. Entrar al laberinto, olvidar, recordar, olvidar, buscar…recordar que la magia reside en la quietud ahora. El reencuentro con la Verdad, única, inamovible y eterna. Parar, para recordar que el tesoro siempre ha estado subyacente, quieto, eterno, aquí. ✨ To search and search. To run. Enter the labyrinth, forget, remember, forget, seek ... remember that magic resides in stillness now. The reunion with the Truth, unique, immovable and eternal. Stop, to remember that the treasure has always been underlying, still, eternal, here. ✨ #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #ishanilabyrinth #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorillustrations #schmincke #figurativeart #magic #magicart #meditation #spiritualjourney #spiritualawakening #oregonart #oregonartist #pintoramexicana #mujeresartistas #womenempowerment #hillsboro #hillsboroartist (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7nDTghhFA/?utm_medium=tumblr

I still don't have all my supplies to work with, I just have a watercolor set, two brushes and a notebook. So I've already started painting. And I remembered when I started doing it. At the beginning only my friends and people I knew bought my art, and now it has reached places and people that I never imagined, and for that I am more than grateful. Art has also given me life, meaning and has been part of this labyrinth of magic and consciousness. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #ishanilabyrinth #artist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #arte #artgallery #artcollector #artgalleries #artofvisuals #oregonartist #spiritualartists #artprocess #artchallenges (at Oregon Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2rdQMpsUI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hola amigos del interneeeeeeeet!! I haven’t been posting,scrolling or reading messages. But for an amazing reason. I’m too busy being amazingly happy in the world beyond the screen. As some of you know, I love the woods and it happens to be part of my new tiny town. I’ve been taking a lot of pictures and extracting the colors of my new little town. I’m creating a palette of it and I discovered so may things! A presence that has been in my life since I was a child, a love story with my own color palette, a magical journey in a labyrinth full of consciousness. I’ve 3 or 4 days here and my new project feels on fire. I love you all so so much and I hope you are having the best of your lives. #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #artist #art #abstractthinking #conceptart #watercolor #ishanilabyrinth #colorpalette #lifeinthewoods #artwork #oregonartists #pintoramexicana #painter #pines (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSw9nNWp0V4/?utm_medium=tumblr
