Wisdom, Thoughts, and Ideas

- a mess of gorgeous chaos -

For this artwork, I included three (3) elements. First is the hand which symbolizes strength, power, and protection. Second are the leaves that depict hope and growth. And the third one are the waves which represent forthcoming events, celebrations, emotions, and opportunities. Every time I’m making an artwork, I always make sure that every element that I use signify something. I want the totality of my craft to have a significant meaning. Because at the end of the day, what we need is for everything to be worthwhile.

A tree represents an individual. The tree of life symbolizes one’s individuality as trees are all unique with their branches sprouting at different points and in different directions. It also symbolizes a person’s personal growth into a unique human being as various experiences shape them into who they are. It represents our personal development, uniqueness, and individual beauty. Just as the branches of a tree strengthen and grow upwards to the sky, we too grow stronger, striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences as we move through life.

Finding these photos, I couldn’t help but reminisce. These poses with artworks were from my vacation way back 2019 in Norway and Italy. That vacation was really a memorable experience. I got to visit various historical sites and see iconic masterpieces that can only be found in those two countries. Indeed, traveling opens our hearts, broadens our minds, and fills our life with stories to tell.

My very own Art Appropriation is inspired by the masterpiece of Johannes Vermeer named, “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” I am actually drawn to this artwork. The subject looks innocent, demure, and yet somehow worldly-wise and intelligent, as though she is looking at the viewer with secrets to tell, with ideas to express, and adventures to plan. In considering the painting, there is an immediate beauty that draws us in, and a familiarity that satisfies us. But in the end, it is the mystery that keeps us coming back to it again and again, looking for answers that we never find.

Every tree has a story. Trees have the power to symbolize, inspire, and express our deepest feelings of love, gratitude, protection, and happiness. These majestic friends of the earth are so treasured, that since ancient times each one has been honored with a special meaning. Each tree's strength, beauty, and stillness has symbolized the magic and wonder of life in the world of myths and folklore.

While doing my painting, I realize that I truly love making nature as the subject of any kind of artwork I create. I am also amazed of how I can make use of some stuff or materials that I can easily find around my space in order to design and give more details to my painting. You really have to fuel your imagination and utilize the creativity in you. You will be surprised then on how you can actually put things together.

I chose the song A Million Dreams while making this doodle artwork because all I can think of is my dream to become a Registered Nurse. You can obviously tell just by seeing the piece that I included some elements like initials and figures which signify hope and aspirations. Becoming a Registered Nurse will be my key to finally live my purpose, accomplish lots of things, and attain more dreams in the future. I truly believe that my future is my responsibility.

Doing applied art made me add some details in my room. I even thought that I won’t like adding things inside my room because I want my personal space to look minimalist. But as I try to picture it and put on things one-by-one, I realized that it is actually nice to add up some extras. These details enhanced the appearance of my area. I felt glad that I tried to make a new look of my area.

Doing this particular piece of art made me think of how I define Art in my own understanding. For me, Art touches mystic places of the human soul. A work of art can show the deepest of truths with clarity. Art is meant to affect each one of us in some profound way if we listen to the sacredness of its voice. It has the powerful potential to open up spiritual communication and insights about life. We must appreciate and believe that how we interpret the things we see and the emotional response we feel has value.

While making this artwork, I realize the significance of the elements of art as well as its principles. I also recognize how one element or principle functions and how it influences the other. And that in every creation, it is important for an artist to conceptualize and know the proper approach on how he/she will do his/her piece. By doing these things, a work of art will naturally be produced.

Get to know me by taking a look at my Biopoem. It includes some of my traits, dreams, hopes, and aspirations, as well as my fears and beliefs. You’ll be able to figure out the things I like and dislike too. You’ll find out what I value the most in life. It is kind of important to recognize these things about oneself. By knowing who you are and what you stand for in life can help to give you a strong sense of self-confidence.
