Bitcoin Angels.
My new Bitcoin series at Red Horns Gallery.
Why angels?
It's an unusual subject for me, but it has become the dominant one. For many years my art has been centered around female figurative works and skulls (my special love). But angels have taken a firm place among my paintings.
I often say that these images come from my subconscious. I simply don't resist them while creating, and only later (sometimes years later)I begin to understand what influenced a particular painting and what had been living deep inside me all along.
As adults, we can choose what to believe in, or whether to believe at all. But for many of us, since childhood, the image of an angel has remained as something that supports us, protects us, gives us strength, and guides us forward when the path feels uncertain.
Even though I'm an agnostic, and you see me through a somewhat demonic image with red horns, there are still moments in my life when I need something greater than the support of loved ones or my own inner strength. There are moments when I want to believe in a miracle, or believe that something more powerful is guiding me toward the right decisions and that, in the end, everything will be okay. It was with that emotional intention that I created the Bitcoin Angels.
This is an image that says everything gonna be okay. That moments of decline will be followed by moments of ascent. An image that gives you the strength to HODL. And for some, it may become a reminder of the most important decision they ever made.
So today I'm sharing with the Bitcoin art community a symbol of limitless optimism and positive energy through my art.
At the same time, I created an expressive Pop Art image so that the theme of angels wouldn't feel too heavily religious, but would remain purely symbolic, positive in spirit, and infused with a strong sense of contemporary art.
