Jupiter & Neptune In Alignment With Pisces Painting

“Calling of The Wind” paintings (2022) These artworks are a meditation on the paintings of Andrea Belaj. As a student of Belaj, she reminded me to use the “less is more” mentality. She employs only a few strokes and calls a work finished, stating “a work is, not about.” I find in a culture of over analyzing and overthinking, the logic of what comes first is resonant. Not to say that these works were easy, they were discovered after a few trials, searching for images with a certain kind of perfection and profundity. I believe the truth is on the surface and reconciling with this truth might be difficult however a good reminder to surrender.
