I am a self-taught artist who loves and appreciates art and photography. Both capture moments of life with great meaning and beauty.
A photo or a piece of art can set off all kinds of emotions. I believe that looking at paintings and images can promote healing too, a form of colour therapy. Anyway, I hope my vision of my time on this planet can give you all some form of joy. |
 I thought I would talk about one of my new paintings, called Sacred Union. It illustrates the coming together of the female and male energy. This was the third of the series 'Inspired by Aboriginal Art'. It celebrates the union of two people in love. How their energies affect the environment and in turn the universe. The energies start off as separate and then blend into one as their hearts and minds unite. I decided to keep the couple as silhouettes so that it can represent anyone rather than specific people. The multicoloured rainbow represents the chakras, which are illuminated as their bond deepens. The white dots above them portrays the energy reaching out to the universe and in turn changing their environment. This painting has proven to be a popular one on Fine Art America. It has been featured, and people have commented on it as being, "Beautiful artwork", "Very creative and imaginative".

It teaches you about using your intuition to improve your life. Coincidences are merely guidance and opportunity presented to us by the universe. If we take these opportunities then our lives can greatly improve and blockages can be released. In order for any of this to work one must have faith in it and an open mind to accept that nothing is impossible. I thoroughly recommend this book as it also explains how relationships work and how to deal with the universal energies that surround us. Here is a clip from the film 'Celestine Prophecy', to illustrate what I mean. To see the full movie trailer see link below: With love Samira

I have just finished the paintings Inspired by Aboriginal dot art. There are four paintings.
 Recently I received a calendar from a friend in Australia. It had some beautiful dot paintings in vivid colours. I was so inspired by them that I had to have a go. After doing a little research on Aboriginal dot paintings, I learned that the ancients used to do these paintings on rocks and caves.
The images depicted stories and legends from their religion. A lot of them showed aerial views of rivers, lakes, people sitting around campfires and many forms of animals. Rather like looking at a map. Well, I thought It would be a good idea to, very loosely, base the next theme for my work on dot paintings. My first piece, ‘The Balance of Life’, shows the Tree of life standing proud in the middle of the picture. On either side of the tree are two campfires, with people surrounding each one. They represent community spirit and the unity of humankind. The tree provides them with shade and sustenance. The stars up above represent the elders and loved ones, who have moved on, but are still keeping a watchful eye on them. Everything is in harmony, perfectly balanced. Due to problems uploading the picture, I cannot show it here, but you can view it on my Facebook album page.This painting will be up for sale soon. Watch this space!!! See you later :) :) |
