Bottled up emotions relate to the act of holding in one's feelings, typically unfavorable ones, rather than expressing them. My primary goal in sharing a message with the world through my art has been to depict emotions, situations, and reasons. One thing that keeps me going is drawing inspiration from numerous things that are present in my surroundings. I came up with the following design after studying shadows, experimenting with many textures that are available, and using the furniture in my home and believe this is an appropriate depiction of my personality. On a reflecting marble surface, the goal was to replicate a stainless steel water bottle with a granular appearance. I utilized the hand paint tool rather than an automatic one and created several shadow angles.
Art gives meaning to our lives and helps us understand our world. It is an essential part of our culture because it allows us to have a deeper understanding of our emotions; it increases our self-awareness, and also allows us to be open to new ideas and experiences. I have attempted to capture my experience learning art and experimenting with numerous online resources in this portfolio. I'm constantly picking up new skills and resources that will enable me to produce better artwork. My surrounds and the natural world are my only sources of inspiration, which keeps my creativity flowing. Through my art, I hope to one day create a stunning representation of climate change and contribute to the propagation of this message to protect our mother earth.
