Harlequins

Acrylic on canvas, first half of 2004.

Dimensions: 22 x 63 inches

This was painted during my days in art school, which was a very enriching experience, although it lasted only a month. My teacher, bless him, used to tell me that I should consider my paintings finished when they were only coal sketches... I guess he appreciated my sketches, much more than the finished work. He told me once that it was "pretty trendier" to leave them without a traditional completion, that this was what modern art was all about; such a comment spat me out of the art school in a split second, due to my horror in relation to anything that can be considered "trendy".

These two paintings are a bit different from what I usually do, because each of them was started and finished in one day.

Making Of Sedna

Sedna

Acrylic on canvas, 2007-8

This is the making of Sedna. It wasn't called Sedna when it began; at first I wanted to paint an astrologer, and it developed into a bride, afterwards it became yet another harlequin, and right now it is a sea creature. It made me think of Sedna, the Inuit goddess, and I will pick this idea and try to develop. But I will change it all again, from head to toes, leaving only the face intact; the present painting is making me sick! Right now, what I have here are the many identities it assumed. Some were better than others, I admit. I will be posting new pictures while I work. Hopefully, there will be a final painting, and it will have its own post. Heaven knows what it will look like and when it will be done.
