The work was sculptural, slowly adding light and depth. Expressions are portrayed in colours and these emotive colours come from within and mixes with other emotions and feelings. There is such a mix and I tried to stitch it all together in perfect synchronicity. I went on to placing these brush strokes and adding glazes to them to add to the depths and contrasts, giving the viewer a sense of motion from within the image combining the colours and movements. I had paused the work when I did not find the result I was seeking, but thankfully it slowly came back, and I finished it when I collected my thoughts. It’s a creative process which at times makes me loose myself in my work. Some colours are deliberately made stronger and some hushed and it was not done in any sudden intuitive way. For a very long time we simply saw ourselves as the only creatures with emotions, discernment and values. We later found out that so many these behaviours which we considered exclusive to the human race actually are actually evident in some animals. However as homosepians we are such complex beings and the only being which can look at ourselves in the third person. Unlike other beings we can reflect and analyse deeply on our past actions and responsiveness along with the reaction of our environment. What’s typical of us? Because of our complex emotions and feelings, I often feel most everyone is off centre and in varying degrees. And that’s so beautiful. Sometimes I wonder which is the centre or is it just fluid and constantly moving as we evolve. I was seeking to bring out the expressions of happiness and delight, of power with grace, of emotion with joy and elation and simply amply it. Emotive exaggeration – that’s our euphory.
