Aries

Something I wrote in my pocket book after doing some yoga while listening to New Ancient Strings by Toumani Diabate-
“A copper faced deity bust whispers above maroon clouds. Prayer cupped hands reveal a light, a star, a sun- the pure heart. Geometric shapes split the light like a spiderweb, a diamond, a kaleidoscope, a spinning mandala. Translucent cosmos drip. The mandolin plays these new ancient strings. Bolder lines define the copper man with a soothed face yet concentrated, relaxed yet so intent.”

Looking back at the piece now, Aries represents to me a harmony of heart, body, and mind. A moment captured in time where I saw a higher self. The figure in the painting is referenced of my own face yet was never meant to be exact, so in a sense, this is a pseudo self portrait, something I haven’t done since 2015. I’m curious as to how you saw Aries, how it made you feel. ✌
