Playnting Acrylic on Canvas
91 cm x 60 cm
When you engage in creation - in creativity - you are engaging with your internal self in relation to your external world. At times the internal self may overpower the external world therefore creating something that is original. As the internal self is infinite and does not exist in the finite world of the external, so do you create that which has not been created before. However should the external world overpower your internal world, then your creation is a mere copy. As the world would dictate to you what is to be created. The key is in finding the balance between your self and the world around you. Hence why I created this piece purely with drumsticks through my ‘Playnting’ technique to create an original impression of what seems to be familiar to you dear viewer. What you see is your right to receive. With my intention of bringing about peace. For you to feel at peace.
(Drumsticks included with painting)
