Was reading the biography about Frida Kahlo(the lad with moustache) online when I see some similarity in her and me and perhaps those who likes surreal paintings.
"She was a surrealist artist who expressed her feelings and thoughts through her paintings...."
"........Besides her incredible talent to paint surrealist thoughts and emotions on canvas, she also was an artist in her mind and body............ She walked through life happily, with a smile plastered on her face. She appeared full of spirit. However, she often covered her real feelings deep within herself, only letting people see the imaginary Frida"
".......Frida kept it all bottled up in her, eventually expressing it out on her canvas."
And how I wish I could paint all the surreal paintings but I know I cant cause I need to paint things that could sell. Therefore there will be limited pieces of surreal or maybe horrific paintings I could paint, bearing in mind, not to scare my folks when they see them.
But I did try once! A painting I called it the "Hidden Skull". The painting suppose to describe the cold hard soul behind every beautiful faces, humans I see everyday. And how I wish to tear off that beautiful flesh to expose their true nature hidden behind, which I believe, and still believe, that every one of us are not what we are as seen by many others, and our true nature, is always hidden behind that face of ours.
Hidden Skull: Sorry, pictures not well taken :(
(Hand suppose to tear off the canvas from the board to expose the hidden skull behind)
(A closer look, wonder if you can tell the fore and background of the face and the skull behind, which I thought, should be more exposed)
(The wooden frame after the canvas was torn. Does it look like it?)
