To Feel is To Be an Artist

As I have been updating my Artist Blog/ Site on here, I've come back around to express what I'm going through in my mind and my heart through my Artist Journal. I like to write, I enjoy the relief from releasing backed up emotions, thoughts, misunderstandings and revelations. It's like taking a giant overhaul of an ethereal dump. I find when I would read other people venting and sharing their most inner raw feelings, that I would relate and feel a lot better about myself. I accepted myself and my circumstances with an openness and eventually with a zero thought mentality. Meaning, no more attention was paid to it. It just was, now. 

I would look back at what I wrote and published publicly. I have no regrets as they are what they were. A moment in time. I'm not a mechanical heap of a robot that does things without depth, meaning or reason. An Artist's ability to feel immensely is a gift for many. Though it may be a curse at times for creators to go through such intensity, if we could alchemize them properly into what our soul needs, we may yet find salvation. At times, I do wish I could stop feeling and thinking and be nothing. Ya know? But, I can't for now. I can only navigate forward and focus on a peaceful stillness. So, for those who may feel shame, regret or an unease for feeling so much and expressing it, I say two things- don't beat yourself up for being intelligent and being able to discern. The other is, maybe don't take things too far. A healthy balance is in order for each, in their own.

Though there is always more to write about as life goes on, let's switch gears and have some fun! Bring on the AI Art Generations!

Where Have I Been?

    Green-lit, symbolic of advancement

As I sit down to write this blog post, I feel a sense of excitement mixed with nostalgia. It's been four long years since I last stepped foot in an art gallery or showcased my work to the world. The pandemic hit hard, and I had to isolate myself from the social paradigms that were rapidly rotting and degenerating. The political misguidance and weaponization from people also contributed to my decision to step back from the limelight.

During my hiatus, I embarked on a spiritual journey, exploring the depths of my soul and the world around me. It was a challenging and often daunting experience, but I persevered, and in doing so, I unlocked a new level of creativity within myself.

I met with key people and forces that unveiled so much more about the world, the way people are, and the way the outer realms function in accordance with practicality on Earth. I realized that my art should reflect not just my personal style but also the beauty and the harshness of the world around me.

As I evolved, I also combined all of my traditional art styles into one master style. It was a thrilling and transformative process, and I cannot wait to share the new beauty, ideas, and styles that I've learned and mastered with the world.

My art now represents a fusion of different techniques and styles, each one unique and essential to the overall piece. I no longer feel constrained by any one particular style, and I'm free to express myself in new and exciting ways.

The hiatus was not just a break from the art gallery scene. It was a break from my old self, my old ways of thinking, and my old artistic style. I emerged from this journey with a renewed sense of purpose, a clearer vision of the world, and a more profound appreciation for the beauty and complexity of life.

The pandemic may have forced me to take a break, but it also gave me the opportunity to evolve, grow, and create something new. I'm excited to showcase my new art style to the world and continue exploring the depths of my creativity. Life is a circle, and I'm ready to embrace the next phase of my journey with open arms.

Ramon loves green, it rep's rebellion and speed

I can feel the excitement coursing through my veins. The creativity that has been bubbling within me for the past four years is now ready to burst forth into the world. My time in isolation was not wasted; it was a time of growth, discovery, and experimentation. I have combined all of my traditional art styles into one master style, a style that is uniquely mine, and I cannot wait to share it with the world.

My work has always been about pushing boundaries, breaking down barriers, and challenging the status quo. And now, with this new style, I feel like I am ready to take things to a whole new level. The beauty, ideas, and styles that I have learned and mastered are unlike anything I have ever seen before, and I am confident that they will leave a lasting impression on anyone who experiences them.

My journey has not been easy, but it has been worth it. And now, as I prepare to re-enter the art gallery scene, I do so with a renewed sense of purpose and passion. I'm intrigued to see where this will take me, and I look forward wait to share it with all of you. (ai)

Dragonball Z: A New Commission, A New Journey

" Dragon, Dragon! Rock the Dragon! Dragon Ball Z! "

  

I'm elated to display the 2nd Edition of a prior Commission named, "Arrival" which depicts the infamous fight between Raditz and Goku in the iconic series, Dragon Ball Z. This Commissioned Painting was requested by Kim Harrell, someone who met me in 2019 when I was selling my Art Work outside the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art). She had purchased one of my snowy landscapes and had messaged me one morning on Facebook (my old-*ss hadn't checked my messages for a while), but low and behold- a great reminder that people do remember me and my work, had arrived.

It really uplifted me entirely as I had been in a huge slump the past year and a half with the global pandemic lock down. It had shut me down as an Artist and I was gearing up to press the restart button. Her message and request for some new paintings was just the fuel I needed to get going once again. (For Kimberly Harrell)- Supreme Thank You to you for revitalizing this old king off his dusty art throne!

I'm a diverse Artist, so I paint many genres, ranging from Landscapes, to Pop Art, to Portraits, etc. She bought one of my Surreal pieces, alongside the DBZ request. Here is the process of how I painted it
