In the dimly lit studio,One kneads the wet clay with their fingers,Molding and shaping it into visions,A glimpse into the essence of the mind. The clay twists and turns,Taking on a life of its own,As if it knows what is desired,What is needed to express.

In the dusty corners of my studio, Lie heaps of treasures yet to be explored, Brushes caked with paint, canvas, and clay, Whose potential remains untapped and unexplored. My heart swells with anticipation, At the thought of carving in soapstone, Or molding clay into abstract shapes, All while my imagination roams.

In the chaos of creation, The artist's conundrum begins. A lack of space to store, The works that burst from within. A canvas here, a sculpture there, Colours splattered and smeared, Each piece a part of the artist's soul, Their passion and pain ensnared. But what to do with these treasures, These haphazardly stored creations? … Continue reading Art is Everywhere – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Amidst the roar of wind cursing by, Two pieces of driftwood caught my eye, Placed surreally in the dirt, Like props in a grand design. Their twisted forms and jagged edges, Evoke a sense of primal rage, As if they too were part of the debate, That rages on this stage. Their presence here is … Continue reading Angered Conversants – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
