“Elixir of Life”, presented as part of “First Things Last” Art Exhibition

“Elixir of Life” was sold as part of PIGSY’s recent solo exhibtion in La Casa Amarilla Malaga and is now hanging as part of an art collection in Malaga Spain.

As can be seen the painting reads from left to right with dark to light an evident and prominent aspect to the artwork. The intention when creating this painting was to allow my feelings take over in order to see what the result was. The right hand side of the painting is all about cloaking negativity and harmful things in life like stress, worries, fears. When the cloak is pulled back to the left there is the “protector” who negates all of these things. The colours, as mentioned above, are reflective of the natural setting but are also about the feeling of serenity and calm and being in the right place at the right time. Literally “what feels right, is right”.

The painting, in the main, is vertical except for the very horizontal left hand side which features the figure representing protection..The intention of the painting is to evoke feelings and emotions of calmness and tranquility. It was painted in Malaga with the colours being expressively reflective of the colours of the night sky in Malaga alongside the mountainous area of the art collector’s home. When I say the colors are “expressively reflective” I mean that they are not a direct movement of the colours I see in nature on to the canvas but instead it is the emotions that I feel when I see these colours and it is these emotions that I am conveying in the painting.
