Van Gogh Study

I uploaded a fraction of the total works I've created during the pandemic, as art has been my one true vice and coping mechanism, and I've created something nearly every single day since COVID-19 hit the US.

Each piece has varying themes, stories, mediums, and purposes, but are united by three things that earmark my experience through the pandemic (1) my desire for escapism (2) the collective societal angst and feeling of obligation to capture the times and (3) the desire to spread joy and give back in small ways.

Van Gogh Study (video): To keep my mind busy and always learning, I started replicating master works from world renowned artists like Van Gogh. The loose post-impressionistic style gave me freedom to move and ease to work quickly, breaking me away from the daily grind. I recorded this painting process and made another tutorial to inspire others that might be feeling stuck to become empowered to loosen up and find joy through a creative process.

Starting in the lower right corner there is a seated tan-skinned person with their back to the viewer, wearing a yellow cap and looking up into binoculars. Above them are the words “On All Floors” painted in black. To the left of these words is an image panel of a dark-skinned person standing in a desert village. They are wearing a white hair scarf and a long lime green traditional garment, while holding a long spear that extends outside the boundaries of the panel. Entering the panel from the upper left corner is the backend of a toy rocket ship, being held by a faceless tan-skinned child that is sitting on a white couch. Below the couch, a woman with long brown hair, tan skin, and a flowy white garment poses properly with her eyes closed. She is standing atop a boxy metal machine, which resembles a printer with drawer compartments. Leaves decorate the machine's exterior.

A photograph of an acrylic on canvas painting. The painting is colorful and resembles a sunrise or sunset reflecting over the water. There is a bright spot of orange and white in the center where the sun would be; the sky above it is swirled with blue and pink. The colors of the sun reflect from the center to the bottom in a rough line, breaking apart the deep blues and grays of the water.

An aerial view painting of a trippy bedroom. Four stone walls are in view, all with purple spirals spotting them. On the left wall is a gated window that resembles an air-vent.

Other trippy decorations around the room include a large painting of an eyeball, something that resembles a tree full of hands, as well as a sleeping kitten.
