🔯 Chaos, O chaos! The men of the world are clear, so clear― I alone am as if beclouded. The men of the world lust so after knowledge― I alone am downcast, so downcast; Restless, alas, as the sea! Driven hither and yon, alas, like one who dwells nowhere! The men of multitude all have something to do― I alone am as idle as a ne'er-do-well. I alone am not as other people are, for I value the lavishing Mother. ― Laotse, Tao Tê Ching, chapter 20 ― Somewhere in North Nazimabad, Karachi. ― Vero @sankiking Twitter @SankiKing Instagram @sankikingofficial Facebook Page: http://bit.do/sanki ― #sankiking #calligraffiti #calligraphy #graffiti #art #streetart #laotse #taoteching #chaos #pink #black #artfromkarachi #artfrompakistan #northnazimabad #karachi #pakistan 🔯 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7_h-wHYBD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u2268uipzk3l

🔯 I am fine 36x48", spray x acrylic on canvas Limited edition prints coming soon ― Following poem was exclusively written for this painting. Parts of it were translated in Urdu & Arabic as well and used in different parts in the back & foreground. ✖✖ I am fine ✖✖ I am a child of chaos, I bring the knowledge of the depths, I carry the wisdom of the mysterious, I was conceived in, the womb of creativity I possess the key to solitude, I whisper songs of infinity I came from the unknown, I am going towards the unknown; yet, I burn, in the flames of knowing Should I cry & rot, in the memories of the lost? Or should I sway & rejoice, in the possession of the now? I have no name, I belong to no one My food is music, my water is beauty, my home is silence If you, one day, notice, an apocalypse on my face If my body trembles in panic, like a child in cold, without a blanket And if I am blooming, the very next day Just remember, that I have let myself, be possessed, by the seasons of life If one wants to be free, there is no escape from, this swinging pendulum of life I have embraced the darkness, the chaos, in order to shine; I am fine. ― Vero @sankiking Twitter @SankiKing Facebook @sankikingofficial Instagram @sankikingofficial ― #sankiking #iamfine #calligraffiti #painting #canvas #art #life #yinyang #spray #acrylic #paint #artist #artwork #instagram #artporn #color #colorful #child #chaos #darkness #light #mandala #meditation #mandala #karachi #pakistan 🔯 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9sxpinb8n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ekpk9u2zem5

🔯 . "I accept" Ink on ivory hand-torn paper SANKI X YBQ DESIGN STUDIOS I was gifted this beautiful handmade sketchbook by YBQ Design Studios and was asked to create an exclusive drawing in it that could be used to promote this stunning sketchbook called DASTAAN-II. It is the perfect companion for notes, drawings and even intricate works as it is made of ivory hand-torn paper with a beautiful calf-hide leather cover. If you are an artist or a writer who is interested in high-quality leather sketch/notebooks with the right paper; I highly recommend this one. It is available in many colors and each edition comes with a custom-made sleeve. Buy it here: https://bit.ly/2Q7DyUE . ― . Posted a video of the sketchbook and the drawing right before this post which can be accessed on the timeline. Text in the mandala: "Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim." ― from The Red Book by Carl Jung . ― .

Working on my most realistic drawing to date which has a cat in it, it is very difficult to draw such a realistic cat. It is so realistic that you will think that the cat is alive! ― #sankiking #art #drawing #realism #realistic #hyperrealistic #cat #cats #catstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpi07r0Hvn5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m3pp5zkfgl8q

🔯 Absolute banger to see myself on the Digital Calligraffiti website along with well-known calligraffiti artists from around the world; https://bit.ly/2qc65Ni 🔥 I am the 1st & only artist from Pakistan at the moment who has worked with Digital Calligraffiti which made its very first appearance in Pakistan last year, at the 60th anniversary of Goethe-Institut Pakistan; where I, along with Schriftzug (Lorenz Oppitz) from Germany & Hamza Abu Ayyash from Palestine, did Digital Calligraffiti performance on both days of the 2-day event. Big thanks to Stefan Winkler & Don Stone for making this happen. Event details: https://bit.ly/2Rj4ot6 -About Digital Calligraffiti- Digital Calligraffiti is a curated performance aiming at transforming the urban ecosystem into a canvas of expression by bringing together calligraffiti and media art. The term calligraffiti was firstly used in 2007 by Niels Shoe Meulmann, the famous graffiti artist and initiator of the calligraffiti ambassadors network. We are expanding this art movement with media technologies by animating the creation of calligraffiti art and displaying it on urban screens and facades. More at https://bit.ly/2Rektjy Some of Digital Calligraffiti's notable partners; Goethe Institut, Collegium Hungaricum Berlin, Co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.

🔯 We’ve made a great mess of love Since we made an ideal of it. The moment I swear to love a woman, a certain woman, all my life That moment I begin to hate her. The moment I even say to a woman: I love you! — My love dies down considerably. The moment love is an understood thing between us, we are sure of it, It’s a cold egg, it isn’t love any more. Love is like a flower, it must flower and fade; If it doesn’t fade, it is not a flower, It’s either an artificial rag blossom, or an immortelle, for the cemetery. The moment the mind interferes with love, or the will fixes on it, Or the personality assumes it as an attribute, or the ego takes possession of it, It is not love any more, it’s just a mess. And we’ve made a great mess of love, mind-perverted, will-perverted, ego-perverted love. D.
