Oil Portrait # 5 :Beauty in Authenticity



(H) 50cm X (B) 60cm

Year 2009

Artist's inspiration:This painting is inspired by the graceful pose of my Mum in slumber.




Sleep unfetters Man from Ego and false notions of Self, a respite from the conformist demands of social judgement and obligations that are his passport among his peers. In this blissful oblivion, Man is authentic, free from hypocrisy, and transforms into a conduit for the expression of nature’s mysterious and invisible pulsations, not unlike those that have found form in the flourish of flora and fauna. It is the beauty of dramatic human form dancing with the metamorphic fluidity of the dreamscape that the picture tries to portray, in its ambition to be a clarion call for Man to unravel himself and return to a more natural state of being.
