I’d love to demonstrate for you the feelings I’ll be describing in the coming paragraphs. You’ll need this painting below:
I would like you to empty your mind and concentrate on this painting. Think about it, visualize it and see what it shows you. I want you to focus your eyes on the composition of the spiral staircase that cuts the entire shape in a curious way and these two people located on two opposite side in the conspicuous circles. Do you see anything? It’s fine if you don’t see straight away. Even I didn’t see it at first. Now concentrate your eyes on the sources of light in the painting, especially the arched window that creates a large circle of glowing light in the room and the women on the right. What do you see? Yes, Yin-Yang! Spiral staircase demarks the lighter half from the darker half creating a shape very close to the yin-yang. The circles near the man and woman's head represents the smaller circles embedded in the yin-yang.
Right now (hopefully) you’re experiencing a moment of surprise. If you are like the hundreds of spectators he entertained as an artist, you are probably asking yourself, “How did he do that?” He must have heard these five simple words over and over again, but I don’t think he was asked the “Why.” It is this question he may be wanted and I would like to answer.
So, why did he do that? I should probably begin with the meaning of Yin-Yang. This symbol represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how life work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. Through this symbal, the author is expressing the universal law that life is not completely black or white and they cannot exist without each other.
I also want to give what I believe is one of the most precious gifts I can give to others – the gift of suprise. Through my painting, I strive to demonstrate that people should be more open to others and others’ ideas. I strive to demonstrate that nothing is impossible. I strive to demonstrate that real art occurs around us everywhere, every day.
To me, art is the strongest tool to express my thought and feeling. Art is my passion that combines everything I love. That is why I do art and why art is a major part of what I am.
