Clinging

                                       

"Clinging" Oil on Canvas 24" X 24" $1800

Inspired by a sketch "Clinging" represents the dangers of clinging. Grasping onto the false idea that things are permanent, and cravings for sameness, ritual, and the comfort derived from such practices can lead to disappointment and discomfort. For those with disease or disability only letting go will save one from the suffering that will come with clinging. 

This image is a reminder of the beauty that comes from letting go of the grasp; that moment when one liberates oneself and begins to ascend from the depths of the stronghold created by the clinging. The bubbles are a sign that there is no longer clinging, but release, rising from the grasp and going toward the light of freedom. 

This piece incorporates the style called "Curvismo" developed by Ricardo Chavez Mendez, my mentor in art and all things metaphoric.
