in the memory Painting

Art is like oxygen to me, it reinvigorates my very being. Since the day I opened my eyes to this world, art pieces have immersed the walls of my parent’s home growing up. My father was a lover of all things art and was in fact an art teacher himself. He had a taste for classic art, fine art as well as oil painting. I used to watch him hours on end do what he does best, watching every brush stroke swiftly glide across the canvas like a bee flies from one flower to another. I learned a myriad of techniques from him, as he shared with me everything he knew. He essentially opened the door for me to pursue what has become my passion, art in all shapes and forms. During that same time period, my uncle was a university professor, also involved in the world of art. He was particularly into things like modern art, abstract art, fantasy art and even cubic art. One of my fondest memories was of my uncle sharing his passion for art with me and familiarizing me with all the different schools of art which stuck with me till this day. I spent my life treasuring this love for art and using it in almost everything I did. I used to always draw in my free time, drawing for me was almost a way to escape reality and just let my imagination go wild. I was especially fascinated by the origin and history of art, reading up on things like roman art and pharaonic art was riveting. I used to also visit all types of art galleries and museums to learn and educate myself on art. I particularly loved making unconventional signature art pieces that didn’t abide by any given school or rules, art pieces that would almost have a life of their own. Thing like ancient magic symbols and hieroglyphics were also incredibly fascinating to me. This particular topic got me interested in making art pieces with deep spiritual meaning tied to the unforeseeable future. I started making exclusive art pieces that were requested, based on the person’s state of mind, circumstances and many other factors. I was told by those people that it legitimately resonated with them and touched them on a spiritual level which sounded extraordinary to me. A lot of the art pieces I created back in the day went on the walls of my relatives and friends which bought me much happiness and joy. I also worked on things like décor and did graphic design back in the day which I thoroughly enjoyed.
