Existence



I still exist… somewhere… somehow

Hello Egyptiana

That drawing is really breathtaking it drives a lot of emotions and thoughts fill my heart with joy at the same time fill my eyes with tears if you know what I mean...

My very first instinct that she is a priestess, standing on the surface of the water holding her magic bowel and pouring all her emotions more precise her wholesome in the holly lake, may be a symbol of generosity my interpretation that she is a giver a true one!

That's my two cents.

Hello E.G.
On the surface it may seem magical with pouring what seems to be sweet and innocent emotions,
but beneath the surface I can see darkness and self absorption with great deal of pretension to imply goodness and generosity to cover up for deep and profound insecurity that makes the soul shivers.
that's my five cents:)

To fellow Anonymous, that's the beauty of art mate each has his/her own interpretation based on sense memory, preference and sometimes instant mood and emotional status...

I salute you for your fine wording!

Dear Anonymous who called me Egyptiana
This painting is called Circe invidiosa by William Waterhouse, of whose paintings i am a fan
Aside from the original depiction of the painter, this painting has a special meaning to me… when i look at it, i see. Myself…
- the barer of water… a hint to my zodiac
- pour all what she have into bottomless surface and waiting for nothing… that’s what i do with my close circle, love and give with no limit
- yet her face is reflecting all the frustration and disappointment and anger of the world… how i feel and experience usually
- the monster in the depth that circle her…. That is my inner self that i fear to unleash for she isn’t tame by any mean
A lot can be seen, and each little detail has a meaning … i think i put this picture to indicate that i am still existing, still giving.. still loving… but someone else inside me is coming to the surface… and i cannot guarantee the outcome

The untamed is lingering in the depth within… silently, and patiently waiting for the moment to unleash its hidden power and take over
Will this day come?
Honestly speaking i myself don’t know

Hmm I guess should pay more attention to Mr. Waterhouse works personally I am a fan of the old school renaissance era and the baroque technique chiaroscuro by Caravaggio for mastering the light & dark check it out you will love its theme...

The one who touches me the most is Edward Hopper because of the nature of his themes Solitude and loneliness...

Totally get you beware to unleash the wild lioness because she is not a mere big cat that can be tamed...

Yes Anonymous, she cannot be tamed, she is chaos … just like the difference between Bastet and Sekhmet
Chaos … with no regard of consequences
The funny thing is that i just found out that it is one of Aquarius toxic traits
They create chaos and dare to challenge everything and everyone, and is not afraid of the destruction left after battle
I was like that once .. and i thought i tamed my inner self .. but i was wrong …

Love the art suggestions you mentioned … especially Edward Hopper … how his work whispers of things we don’t want to face !

How complicated and lonely life can be
