Blue Valentine

"Blue Valentine”, is an idea that came to the artist, while receiving feedback from a previous show. Growing up and life experiences had made her take into account how fragile our hearts really are. Using black and blues, it expresses the melancholy that comes with the term valentine, and how a date can lead to bringing out a sadness that some may not feel comfortable sharing. The title, based on the color used, is also plays homage to the film “Blue Valentine” (2010), a film that chronicles the ups and downs of a young couple’s relationship.

Hearts part deux

This past weekend, I participated in an art exhibition. Of course I brought my hearts with me, and the questions of why came up. So to clarify here is how it started.

According my mother, I was born with a innocent heart murmur. I don’t really understand what that means, but she always told me to be careful with it. Growing up and life experiences had made me take into account how fragile our hearts really are.  Our hearts can be affected physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Have you ever felt heartbreak? Heartburn? The way it shoots through your whole body and it drains a piece of your soul (i know mad dramatic). 

It was that, where i just decided to look at pics of the human heart and just started drawing it. My first real time getting it done was with “Murmur”, a piece you can see in earlier posts. And then I wanted to learn about block printing and on a random trip to Michaels I bought a kit and now here we are. 

So if you’re wondering what’s the deal with the hearts? It’s my way of sharing me with you all. Cause with all I’ve experienced, my heart is keeps me going and it’s what I got left.
