“Foresight” is my artwork inspired from Asian culture, myths and the Japanese art of makeup. Asian theatre generally includes the most sophisticated face painting designs in the world. Eyes scare away evil spirits. Red express the positive Yang. It is for protection from evil. White is closely linked to the spiritual world. Black is about fear. Transformational makeup can portray the supernatural. Face tattoos are for protection from bad spirits. Gold is the colour of the sun. “Foresight” painting symbolizes gods’ power and mercy. It shows the inner strength and the power to see beyond.

“Serenity” is my artwork inspired from India which is the country of symbolic colours. It is an expression of faith and beliefs. The symbolism of colour stands out and controls every aspect of life. Blue indicates a person with a stable mind. Gold is about trust and purity. “Serenity” painting symbolizes inner peace and calmness. As the ancient Ionian Greek philosopher Pythagoras said: Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.

“Anticipation” is my artwork inspired from African tribes and cultures. They believed that the hair ornaments and styles have a way to communicate with the Divine Being. All patterns and colours have meaning. Colours have significance throughout all cultures and speaks to our individual personalities and thinking, influencing our emotions and also affecting lives. The colour blue is associated with open spaces, freedom, signifies peace and unity. The colour green demonstrates renewal, purple symbolizes wisdom and black is power. “Anticipation” artwork has the meaning of new beginning, new life. It is all about spiritual energy.
