Art For Healing

Hiya my lovelies!

I know, I know! A bit longer than anticipated,

but I have managed to make some art 
and this is gonna get a bit deep!

So here it is!

'Layers of Pain'

I decided to paint with my hands and fingers.

I have had trouble using my arms lately,
but I figured it might help!

I wanted to use my pain to fuel this piece
and tapped into my intuition.

I feel pain in 'layers' so I chose different colours
and textures to represent them.

For instance, red is 'burning', white is 'stabbing'
and the glitter is 'pins and needles'.
The black is the darkness of isolation and despair.

Sounds depressing and it is, but I found a real connection
painting this using my intuition.

It is ME on canvas.

Whoa deep stuff eh?!

You might think that I find it difficult to look at, but I don't.

To me, it is beautiful.

Pain tears you down but you can use it to build you up.

I choose to let it build me up - make me stronger.

Creating this piece has helped me feel more empowered.
I know art shouldn't need explaining, it's subjective after all,
but I felt the need to tell you all what it means to me.

Art can be used to heal
so that's what I'm going to do!

I really appreciate you stopping by!
Please feel free to comment.
