This artwork, titled "Essence of Wood," holds a special place in my heart 💖 as it was created during my school days.
The Magic of Exploration
"Essence of Wood" is a testament to the magic of exploration and the joy of discovering new artistic mediums.
As a child, I was always curious and eager to try new things, and my parents nurtured this curiosity by providing me with various art supplies and materials. One day, I stumbled upon Plaster of Paris (POP) and was instantly captivated by its potential.
I remember the excitement of pouring the POP onto paper, watching as it spread and took on a life of its own. The texture that emerged reminded me of the intricate patterns found in wood, and I knew I had stumbled upon something special. I continued to build up layers, each one adding depth and character to the piece.
Once the POP had dried, I began to paint, using a palette of browns to enhance the natural, wood-like appearance. The colours blended beautifully, creating a rich tapestry of textures and shades. I was thrilled with the result, and the experience taught me the value of experimentation and the endless possibilities that art offers.
"Essence of Wood" remains one of my favourite pieces, not just because of its aesthetic appeal, but because of the journey it represents. It reminds me of the joy of discovery, the importance of creativity, and the boundless opportunities that come from exploring new materials and techniques. Through this artwork, I learned that sometimes the best creations come from simply allowing oneself to play and explore without limitations.
