Ancestors Anticipating Gestation Painting

All of my abstract intuitive work starts as an automatic drawing on paper or more often on watercolour paper as well as on stretched canvas. The automatic drawing technique I do has been inspired by the Surrealist movement of the early 20th century. Recurring motifs such as the embryonic like spiral or circular form and an arcing wing shape in the automatic drawings lend to thoughts of life and ancestral entities. I then paint the motifs in vivid, harmonizing colours to bring out the motifs in the drawings. Often a black background serves as the void of nothingness or interstellar space, if you will. Initially, the black background was inspired by eastern European enamel work, but as the embryo motif became more prevalent and with the appearance of the wing shape, the work took on an existential meaning for me. I hope the viewer can ponder on the meaning of life via help from the titles. A Pinkish embryo is emerging from the shadows into the realm of possibility as a sunlit yellow ancestor is anticipating the event.
