Nodes of Inspiration (3) Painting

Nodes of Inspiration (3) is the second painting among the Nodal Forms series of paintings that I did in 2016. The composition was generated through experiments with Cassia tora nodes and monochromatic background of blue hues. The picture plane is totalized by nodes, which are depicted with circles. The Cassia tora nodes are irregular in shape, brown in color but in this composition, they are depicted as circles and replicate the background of blue tones. This brings fluidity and the effects of motion, transparency, reflection, and refraction on the painting. Sketchy impressions of the branch roots are added into the composition to give a sense of direction to the nodal forms. The Cassia tora nodal forms appear like circular bubbles. The forms and the monochromatic background spiral around the picture plane. Traditional references to perspective are eliminated, which lay bare various nodal forms in order to communicate deeper emotions. Contending on circles, Stefanovci and Lapusan (2009) postulate: "The life of a man is seen as a self-evolving circle, which from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new and larger circles and that without end. There is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning. The heart refuses to be imprisoned; we have no enclosing walls, no circumference. We all stand to wait, empty, knowing that we can be full. Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations. The only valuable thing is not to submit to generalizations, to believe in the power." This statement is corroborated by Cassia tora nodes as they aid in sustaining the plant with nutrients in difficult weather, environment or time. Nodal forms are rendered as a metaphor of hope for a better life.
