/On Beauty

​

Raven tresses and silken dresses
         Resist the presses 
 of reality.

 

The moonlight shows skin that glows
           and lips that speak of life most joyfully.

 

As love consumes, your beauty blooms
          And makes my spirit soar.

 

From time hereafter, you are all that matters,
          For it is you whom I adore.

/Artist Statement:

On Art and Beauty

 

And so too with art. Regardless of whether the love, beauty and joy of another may have escaped you, was beyond your grasp or sadly lost, art is one of the few things in life, that has the power to elicit these emotions, and more.
 

Art  can be simultaneously a catalyst and a reprieve. When a work of art strikes a chord in you, it is a catalyst for your thoughts, memories and emotions that resonate solely unto you. External noise and internal distractions fall to the wayside as they give way to a repreive where you allow the artwork to reach out to you and draw you in, where it stikes that chord in you. A door opens,  beckoning you to be immersed in this moment  - a dialogue of sorts with innermost self. Without thinking, you heed to this call.  Your mind walks through this door.
 

At that moment, no matter how brief, comes a reprieve in which you enter an intimate oasis of thoughts and feelings. You are not lost in the moment. You are catalyzed by it. You are alive in it. Your mind and emotions are alight and aflight in the most precious type of moment - a moment which  is yours and will always be yours. A moment which  nourishes your mind, body and soul. A moment which no one can take away from you.  It is this moment which I strive to capture in my art.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            -SJW
