Similar to my latest piece ‘ Welcome to the Jungle’ the design and techniques for this piece have been going over and over in my mind for a couple of months now.
The idea behind the art was to create something like a Nebula, which according to Wikipedia – is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. If I’m honest that means nothing to me, I just think it’s insanely beautiful.
I see images of different Nebula formations and colors on social media almost everyday. I’m sure that a lot of people are pretty blown away by the images, as I am. To re-create something similar, in my mind, was going to be a huge challenge.
Attempting this artwork, at this stage of the project was a huge risk. In my mind I had it down but I had no idea if it would turn out the way I hoped it would, as I had never done anything like this before and if it didn’t work out, it would have cost me a lot of time and money that I just didn’t have.
It’s pretty crazy but I can apply that same mentality to my life over this project.
I could have easily stayed in my comfort zone and created a piece that I new I could do well, but without risk there would be no change, no learning, no evolution not just in my work but also in my life and this project.
Thankfully this piece has turned out even better than I had hoped and I’m so pleased with it that this will be one of the six artworks up for live auction.
This is ‘Limitless’, you are your own limits.
