For the last few months I had been dealing with the health issues of an aging parent. All my art related activity had stopped, and I focused on family.
When I did return to painting, plans that were previously made were alien to me. Everything felt very distorted, not an artist’s block, but a disconnect as I was living with more tension than usual. Being a painter is the worst occupation to deal with these emotions. Men’s pride demanded me to work through it.
The Covid pandemic made this situation worse as the new variant Omicron had appeared just as we believed it was coming to an end.

The idea for this painting had been lurking around for a while.
Sometimes it would come up in different forms as I was working on other ideas. I kept pushing it aside, thinking that I might not be able to do it.
When it finally came around again, I figured it would fit into this painting series.
Astral Projection, as defined by wikipedia, “is a term used in esotericism to describe an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of a soul called an “astral body” that is separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it throughout the universe.”

January winter.
The past couple of nights seemed to blend in together when I began
working on SLEEP.
January was usually a cold dark month, and while this is nothing new, in a city still under lock down it felt worse.
For those abroad or in the US, Canada was late in getting the vaccine, so cities were forced to extend their restrictions longer. My city of Toronto ended up shutting down near the end of December.
I wasn’t sleeping very much, and restless for weeks.
Casually, I would notice my clock and see 12 :12 on it before going to bed.
It was something subtle that repeated for a few nights ..read more

It has been a year since the Pandemic first arrived in 2020.
Most people were urged to stay in their homes, social distance from each other, wash their hands and wear a mask when you go outside.
We are all too familiar with this now, the new “reality”, and I am no different.
The painting Self Analysis developed quite mildly during this period.
I was finishing up some other projects previously when the Virus broke out.
The plans I had made previously began to change.
What was originally seen as a form of the Flu, began to take a sinister turn.
As like many, I was forced to work from home, and r ..read more

The last painting, SPIRIT, was something I had thought about in one form or another. The stresses of daily life were difficult enough for me to think more about my mental health. It was through this that I became interested in meditation, and started to look at the human body differently.
Slowly, my interest in this subject would escalate over time. First, with my painting THIRD EYE, and then learning about the other Chakras of the energy body. I had originally thought about doing a series of paintings about the Chakras, but it never happened. I would come across many books as inspiration, in ..read more

The Seance was a painting I had been thinking about for a long while. My interest in this wasn’t for artistic purposes. I remember seeing the posters displayed at carnivals for mediums. They were either illustrated or photographed, and you weren’t sure if they were real or not. This was at a time before digital was around. As a kid, we are very impressionable and one would tend to wonder about these superstitions. When we become adults, we outgrow these things and dismiss them as fables and folklore.They are just immaterial and not tangible. Some may look at religion in the same way.

The origins of this painting began in late spring.
The weather was becoming humid and hot. Spring would slowly turn into Summer. I was feeling very uncomfortable on my daily traveling commute during this time. People on the subway were feeling very irritated as there was a lack of air-conditioning. I would be a witness to many pushes and shoves between commuters. There was a feeling all around that was uncaring and rude. It was something I was constantly ignoring, but not happy with. I just tried to immerse myself in other things but would always get a reminder in some shape or form. In the ba ..read more
