I haven't read Life of Pi yet, and I'm not sure if I plan to. But all I know is that I really like this artwork titled "Battle of the Minds," by Andrea Offerman created for the novel. She is also an artist that I found through Nucleus.
But, I think what I really like the most about this piece is this up close version of just the tiger surrounded by the seemingly attacking and evil fish.
I can just really connect to this work. In looking at different artworks, different people connect with different themes, and I just really connected well with this one. And I guess that's why I like it so much. What I like about it so much is the singled out tiger and the fierceness of his stature. Everything is against him, but he stands ready to fight to the death. I guess what I could connect in this is that sometimes I feel singled out and I like to think that I stand my ground when I'm feeling down. It's hard to describe in written words. Something which I'd like to get better at.
Anyway, I'll have to keep this thought of powerful themes in mind. Because as an artist myself, I want to make are that inspires while having fun drawing and painting and whatnot. I don't want to just create something that's pretty, but pretty with meaning I guess you could say. As cheesy as that may sound.
Well, I know I haven't been blogging as much as I want to, but hopefully I'll find more ideas and time to create more posts!
Oh how I love to create.
