Abstract art asks us to go within ~ flow within our inner states. What we paint/draw/photograph is the energy translated. The colour palette still associated to what we know /feel.
When I looked at your self-portrait, I immediately saw the red plane, top right. That told me your passion was being restricted, you were holding it tightly in your grip. The cross appears next to third eye. Looks like a battle scar.
Your eyes give it away.
We may think we did not express ourselves as we wished and I know that feeling of frustration well. Currently working on a video project and want to pull my hair /heart/soul out. Sound familiar?
We keep trying. We go back with self compassion and empathy. Those times when we feel we didn’t draw out our truth, we step carefully. The body remembers. Respect what it has to say.
