Mixed Media on CanvasArtist’s Thoughts:
Birth is a painting depicting the experience of being born, or having an awakening into a freer, lighter, more fulfilling way of being in the world.
I painted this while my wife was pregnant with my daughter Shanti. While painting it was as though I could feel the contcactions with all their tightness and release, the tension of moving down the birth canal, and the tears of joy and love being born into a world when I am truly adored.
I have had similar “birth” experiences when the tension of intense, and often dark, feelings are met and felt without resistance. Then in the midst of being with this which I can barely endure I find myself thrust into a light, a love, a freedom that is all encompassing.
This painting is all about these experiences for me.
