The Dancer is the next painting in a series called “Hope.” Here, the tree is rejoicing, passing through obstacles. Thanks to environmentalists and people who are keeping our environment safe. A tree is essential in keeping us safe, for it cleans our air and provides shading comfort. Visualizing an object is fascinating; we are attracted to movement, color, subject, and simplicity to be happy with what we admire. Then, the tone defines the whole picture. Correlation between shapes and forms adds flavor to the main object.
However, the symbols follow their form; every curve and straight line echoes a thought. And there lies the story of where the dancer’s idea came from.
I have been experimenting with layers, and no matter the subject or media, the more you add, the more attractive it is. Nonetheless, we must be careful not to overdo it. Foresight: Our mind bombards us with so many layers of ideas that unbalance a color, turning it into a painful sight. The best answer is to simplify and return to the first theory—intuition helps, too.
The dancer represents the female in nature. We have the music inside, indeed. Then, the transformation into a tree is an allegory to her fructose life. She is picaresque and arrogant, full of life at every step. The fruits she carries on her bark are rectangles, circles, ovals, and flowers. They all dance to her tempo and compass.
To conclude, let’s hope every tree will be saved in the world and for all the people and fauna. Mother nature opens their minds and appreciates life as a sacred ground.
