Grant Me a Dream

"This art piece was commissioned with a special request: To see the essence of my spirit through my colors and marks, so that I could find an Eden where we can see with the eyes of our souls and everything is more vivid, and to free myself through the process, so that my hands, arms and shoulders wouldn’t suffer. — Quite a challenge, that became! I played and freed myself through some sessions, and got lost in heavy storms too. Little by little, through a hundred hours, lived in 8 months, it started evolving, taking me to my favorite horizons, dreaming of breathing their air, renewing myself in a million washes of water and mist. I have giggled like a child in a new adventure, and timidly dared to let go into a place of recognizing myself, my pain, trusting the love placed on each mark, on each trial and error, remembering I am part of more than I could possibly imagine. My reoccurring song, perhaps a prayer, through this process sounded like “Grant me a dream filled with color and water, grant me a dream, where I feel I am beyond what my eyes can see. We are all part of more than we could ever see”. I am grateful and humbled for all I’ve been given in this process of painting, which has been so much."
