“Patience” – SOLD
Patience is the art of hoping. - Luc de Clapiers
‘Patience’ is a deeply symbolic piece that reflects my personal journey as an artist and the resilience required to endure life's uncertainties. At its heart is a woman seated at a rusted piano, overgrown with vines and worn by time—a powerful metaphor for the passage of years and the patience needed to create something meaningful. The woman herself is not untouched by time; rust and vines creep across her form, merging her with her surroundings and underscoring the transformative effects of persistence and struggle.
The decaying room around her, overtaken by vines and crumbling walls, mirrors the erosion of time, yet it also speaks to the beauty of growth and resilience that emerges amidst the ruins. Though worn, she continues to play, embodying the steadfast hope and creativity that drive her forward.
This piece mirrors my own story of transformation. At 41, while working at a hostel in Guatemala, I found myself grappling with dissatisfaction and an uncertain future. Art became my lifeline, a way to channel my frustrations and dreams. In those early days, the legitimacy of digital art was often questioned, and success seemed out of reach. But with unwavering patience, I stayed committed, eventually earning a place on SuperRare—a prestigious platform where only 1% of artists are accepted.
From there, my journey expanded to physical galleries, including prestigious venues in Palm Beach, Florida. However, like the woman in the artwork, I’ve faced setbacks, including the digital art market’s downturn. Still, the lesson of patience remains central to my story: with time, effort, and hope, opportunities will bloom once again.
‘Patience’ is a tribute to the virtue of waiting, to the quiet persistence that allows us to keep creating and dreaming, even when the world seems to crumble around us.
Neon Diaries is a visual metaphor - every artwork I create is born from a personal story, much like ink spilled in a private journal. But unlike hidden pages, my art lays bare my deepest thoughts for all to see. In Neon Diaries, she is surrounded by floating electric monitors. Each glowing screen reveals a distinct futuristic journal entry - a metaphor for the way all my artwork tells stories. And this piece, in particular, explains how I came to that style of creating.
