International Soul Art Day Gallery

What Inspired you to do a Soul Art journey?

I am currently recovering from more than a year of depression. I started recovering in the past two months after being emotionally paralyzed and unable to do anything except sleep and wish my life away. When I noticed the Soul Art Day advert, it stimulated my imagination and gave me a goal to reach that was not possible a few months ago, because I was not interested in anything, much less my art.

How would you describe your creative process?

I am relieved to at last feel better and more positive. I had cataract surgery a year ago, and since then, my eyes have been a major hurdle in my life as I could not see properly. I have since had laser treatment that improved my sight substantially. As an artist, my eyes and hands are most valuable to me, and I immediately traced my hands as a starting point and basis for my artwork. I placed my eye at the top of the painting, indicating my sight as my most important sense and as a quiet witness or observer of all that is important in my life.

I feel like I received a second chance to live my life fully, to love and enjoy my partner, family, and friends more. To do everything I dream of and can imagine! Thus, I included elements of travel, home, and art in my painting.

What insight did you receive from your Soul Art?

Anything you visualize or dream of, you can make your reality.
