Tag: Patterns in Art

 

The idea was born from a trip to Canada in Montreal. At the train station, to visit the dome, there were walls full of mosaic art. It casts an afternoon light on the floor, full of orange, yellow, and green tones. Not from the fluorescent light but the street sidewalk iron bars, which were enchanting. Moreover, the USA flag model came from Jasper Johns, an American painter, sculptor, and printmaking artist. So, transforming images from sources is recharging along with a past.

Furthermore, for this reason, Borders is a political statement with many points to consider for its content. Then, from a technical aspect, it urges the alteration of the color. In either case, the stripes of white and blue changed. In general, the whole image where the flag with patterns rests. Green depicts fertile ground; also, the entire forest means abundance. Underneath the banner in the gold background full of Maya and Aztec symbols rests in ancient history.
In addition, crows are flying into the light, symbolizing the people.
For this reason, unable to cross the wall, some may die of starvation or drowning to find freedom. Thus, not leaving behind the smuggling of drugs in the middle of the needs of the people and the lord drugs creates more problems. Further, then everybody pays for it, and deportation is inevitable.
Moreover, the message is now clear. Borders’ depiction represents the wall between the USA, Latin America, and other settlers. Consequently, it generates more income for impresarios in the labor areas. For others, a thread. In conclusion, the government has never ceased to steal, for their selfishness does not let them see the future of their citizens. In short, some people may meet to face their demise on the road to freedom.

Sara, It is the portraiture of a Yemeni model. To begin with, I added patterns around her face, imitating her veil. Also, her symbols share some similarities with ours in their repetitive forms and shapes.

Yemen’s culture is of Arab heritage, divided between Sunni Muslims of the Sahafi school and Shi’a Muslims of the Zaidi school.

There are small groups of Jews, Hindus, and Christians. For example, in 1949 and 1950, about fifty thousand Yemeni Jews left for Israel. In 1998, migration and high infant mortality limited the annual growth rate. The birth rate is high, and almost half the population is under fifteen.

On the other side, in contrast to Sara’s soft features, her character is very straightforward. She grew up in the Bronx. I recalled talking to her about her ethnicity and their arranged alliance. She was so upset and replied, “She will deny it.” Years later, I found her already married, and she told me she was pleased with her new marriage. I was very happy for her.

The creative process came quickly. For I have a sketch of patterns from Celtic, Asian, and Arabic, Sara allowed me to draw her eyes and turn meaningful. I put them together in a simple composition with the entire movement.

Moreover, the colors are an improvisation. It was the end of springtime, and summer was around the corner. So, I decided to use dark blue and turquoise at the bottom. The silver marker creates a fascinating look, just like her wedding motif. Her eyes are of an innocent observing—nothing to hide and fear.

In conclusion, her portraiture is an allegory to her innocence and growth in a different society, which is more relevant than her ethnic country of birth.

Levels, “A composition that moves back and forth by its force.”

This subject explores inverse dynamics within small lines. Furthermore, to enhance the composition.

It moves back and forth to one point where it originated. With this intention to play with our sight.

The idea was born from a movie about a French scene in the elevator. The sunlight reflected wide open through the Deco bars.

It was a sunny afternoon, inspiring me to re-create music with visuals.

Notice the spaces painted in yellow pale. Thus it is the absent tempo. The silent rest in the empty area; where exist music. So, of say, our heartbeats echo in our heads the muted sound.

There are multiple variations of lines shapes and color degrees. So which creates a frequency in a splashing mood?

On the other hand, It feels as if we are looking at a card game. Coming back out in a new light.

Art Deco was first exhibited in 1925 in France, and its father was George Barbier. The influence is still prominent all over the world. 

So much everything is being said and done. Every ten years, they sent us sickness, and we are still here. Either the Lines falling is our upcoming or our fall. 

Old ideas will update in new ways. Then we will be gone, and nature will be here to remind the new generations of our passage fragility. PROPORTION

Does this painting consider Art Deco? And my answer is yes, but in the texture. Moreover, it has been digested and brought up in a new idea related to music. Many other artists have done it? As I mentioned before, we artists take things and renew them in a new light, Have fun.
