What inpired the work? Creating the artwork "Sea of Emotion" was my deeply personal journey. During a challenging time in my life, I sought solace in my art studio, finding refuge in the comforting scent of paints and the peaceful act of painting. Moving to a new place left me feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable, craving the calming presence of the ocean which has always been a source of tranquility for me. Unable to physically reach the beach, I decided to bring the essence of the ocean into my art. The initial stages of the painting captured my raw emotions, reflecting the turmoil within me. As I painted, listening to the imaginary sounds of waves crashing, I gradually found peace. Using a palette knife to mimic the waves as I envisioned them in my mind, I let go of my uncertainties and surrendered to the creative process. Knowing when to stop was a moment of clarity for me, realizing that this piece was complete in its own right, a manifestation of God's divine grace, a gift channeled through my heart and hands. This painting is a testament to my artistic expression and a symbol of resilience and finding beauty amidst life's storms. What do I hope the viewer will experience? Absolute joy and serenity as they gaze at the painting. They must experience the essence of the ocean. Why did I choose the medium, Oil paint on stretched canvas? Oils are forgiving and they are like life, they forgive any mistakes and allows you to start over. The palette and brush combination allowed for texture and depth.

As an Art Therapist, I deeply understand the profound healing power of art. Not only do I teach art online and provide therapy services to clients globally, but my relationship with art is a personal relationship that transcends mere technique - it serves as my sanctuary through life's tumultuous moments. I do not paint from photographs only when I am commissioned to do so. My paintings are all soulful expressions straight from my inner vision. Each canvas I create holds a piece of my soul, making every purchase an intimate connection with the buyer. From a young age, my desire to create and express myself through art was paramount. I never had formal training but I devoured books and studied various techniques while experimenting with various materials. I found that I could escape the world while creating and that was super cool. I will sit in a room full of people and someone would mention they walked in the woods for example. My mind would immediately see the wood and the trees and the light shining on the leaves, to the point where I could smell the earth. I have then left the building...lol. My art carries the essence that reflects my heart. I paint under a shortened version of my name "Cilla Meintjes " as my full name is too long. However, when I delve into abstract art, I do so under the pseudonym "Ruby Rembrandt", as it reflects a different facet of my personality, one that loves colour and shapes and just breaths in space. For me art isn't just a hobby - it's my passion, and the reason I believe why I was placed on this earth, Through my art I can help people to just "Be" and "Breathe" and it is the essence of my being. I invite you to share in the beauty and healing that art can offer.
