But you are eternity and you are the mirror.”

“The frame through which I viewed the world changed too, over time. Greater than scene, I came to see, is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.”

Parallel worlds | fine art
I’m really fond of layering multiple exposures in digital artworks. In my opinion, It’s a convenient way of blending stories and multiple scenes in a cohesive rendering. I’m titling this work “Parallel Worlds” in relation to the buzz of thoughts and schemes which come in everyone’s minds and the illustration connotes the perplexing moment in time to decide to go with a particular resolve, thereby channeling a unique pathway in our destinies.
“These stories were very old, as old as people, and they had survived because they were very powerful indeed. They were the tales that echoed in the head long after the books that contained them were cast aside. They were both an escape from reality and an alternative reality themselves. They were so old, and so strange, that they had found a kind of existence independent of the pages they occupied. The world of the old tales existed parallel to ours, but sometimes the walls separating the two became so thin and brittle that the two worlds started to blend into each other. That was when the trouble started. That was when the bad things came. That was when the Crooked Man began to appear to David.”
— John Connolly (The Book of Lost Things)
“Man’s striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of the simplest structure in physical systems.”
— Rudolf Arnheim

book of beautiful moments.
” You look in the mirror and
sometimes may see a
mess of a human being.
But you don’t see the lives
you’ve touched, or the
people you’ve saved.
You don’t see all the love
you’ve given freely,
or the extraordinary
memories you’ve made.
You are a book of beautiful
moments and feelings.
You are not weak because you cry.
You are not a simple being.
You make plants come back to life,
and you turn cold rain showers
into warm downpours.
You are a piece of art that
makes people feel things.
You don’t bring people to
their knees, you give them
a solid footing
And that is beautiful.”

“swayed in” | fine art.
a spontaneous piece that popped out of my head at this moment. Calling this “swayed in“
“Spontaneous Painting is painting intuitively without having an image or model to paint from, where the result comes from a spontaneous play with the paint, the colors, and texture. Most importantly, each brush or finger stroke comes from a direct response to an inner directive, not from an aesthetic standard.” [ source ]
The border of a mind studios is passionately excited in adopting it fervently on digital art frames. Exuberant vibe fuels the day amigos. Peace! God bless.
