Sorrow

To have to write about an artwork is the hardest thing you have to do, because then you limit that artwork to certain words. Everyone perceives art in their own ways and if we talk about it already then there isn’t much space for the imagination.
I have shared here my composition on the lockdown and it’s effect on my work. There was always this feeling of dissatisfaction and guilt of not being able to work and even if I did, not that appreciably. Everything just pulled me back. Not being able to focus and getting irritated because there’s no peace of mind.
The artwork tries to show, no matter how strongly I wanted to paint I was just held back and all my materials were just standing there looking at me. There were future tensions, getting good grades, being able to make good art, earning respect, earn a living, be productive, be creative and the thoughts go on! Our minds have become lazy, we’re easily tired and we give up very soon, we have become impatient…..
But, as i began to paint my fears and frustrations, I started to feel rejuvenated, I felt new energy to paint the good thoughts as well, to express the happy feelings too. Hence this artwork does not only show my former mental state but also a step from which the other part of my journey in the lockdown began….
