Writing Experience – The third work of art from this series – Addiction
In this new series I explore the connection between words, word combinations, colors and lines. The words and their meanings that move through my mind as I paint influence the free lines, colors and shapes that flow onto the canvas. They come together in this artwork to explore a complex theme: addiction.
Addiction probably affects every person in their life. When we hear the word addiction, we often close ourselves off, thinking that others have problems with it but we don`t. When we use the word as a verb, it becomes Search – a harmless verb that can become a dangerous trap. We look for our well-being in addiction and seek recognition. We are looking for our freedom, our happiness. Be it in sport, in pornography, in exercise, in social media, in meditation, if we don`t understand what meditation is, in the consumption of coffee, in the consumption of alcohol or drugs, in the consumption of stimulants or medication, in the addiction to work, in the addiction to giving, in the addiction to love...
It`s difficult to look closely. And even harder to break out of. Addiction gives us the illusion of improvement, but it chains us to a vicious circle. Dopamine, the messenger of happiness, captivates us. I know this from my own experience. We do not find true fulfillment outside.
What we feed will grow within us, in our subconscious. When we feed the dark wolf, we are watering the weeds within us.
When we feed the bright wolf, we water the flowers within us – a path that leads through awareness, self-reflection and courage to change.
I first wrote the word addiction on the canvas. Then I worked intuitively with the colors and little by little people, animals, shapes and patterns appeared. I then carefully refined these.
This is also an artwork of hope. We have the chance to change direction in every second of our lives.
