Christmas gifts
My presents for my family due to lack of money to buy normal gifts.
This one is for my parents. I intentionally made it more traditional looking, avoiding my tendency to paint surrealist figures. They don’t like surrealism.
This one was inspired by the sketch drawn by Jim Carries’s character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. I wanted to depict my brother inside a bus, i don’t know why, given that he usually rides taxis. I admit, there is a bit of a dark feeling in this one. Well commuting isn’t really sunshine and rainbows isn’t it?
This one was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s painting, Self portrait with cropped hair. The people on floating beds depict his patients. When I explained this painting to my brother, I accidentally said that the patients are in heaven. But I didn’t paint this with dead patients in mind. I don’t really know what’s my deal with skies and floating figures. I just like how they look. That’s why I paint them.
Three paintings in three days. Now that’s tiring.
