This painting represents the journey my heart has taken in the last 53 years.
I covered the canvas with life and death affirming symbols. The path as an embryo to that of a man is intertwined with layers of energy and movement as well as growth and decay, love and heartbreak.
The fluidity of water be where the dancing dolphin or sleeping child, or sky offer moments of peace and contentment.
The Guardian of the Books of Lives has my name inscribed and has been leaving instructions as how to live my live but giving free will to chose the crossroads I meet to travel. Wisdom is learned through the experience of having explored and having tried to life a life that bears no ill to others.
I included the two boats to represent my Gemini sign of birth. I included the disco dance floor as a representing the man of many colours I had become, with music, paint, and compartmentalized families and friends.
As crazy movement and shape changing is at the core of this painting, the corners represents its stability and anchoring.
