Black & White Artwork - Drawing Samridh Mukhiya Meloncholia II - 2017 Pen and ink on paper 24 X 36 inches $4,400 Awarded “Third place for Adult Original artwork” at 2020 Texas Mental Health Awareness Creative Arts Contest April 23, 2020 -Artist's interpretation- This is the second one in the series of Melancholia. It is a subjective portrait. The hair as waves represent the state of the mind, relentless, vacillating and boundless like the sea. The shell of the individual is withering away exposing the inner self. There sits atop the person's head; a well in the sea, a motif I use metaphorically and periodically to represent the means to an end. Here, the well is the only element casting light inside. Within, the person is drowning as he is entangled in his own sea of thoughts and perception, a habit we all tend to fall victim to. The world inside him is also crumbling slowly, the stable elements he was accustomed to rely on are sinking. But that is not the first time the person inside has drowned. As seen on the bottom where the heart resides are parts of him that have sunk on impaled sticks, representation of the hurt endured, the wounds that have had lasting effects, moments of pain that have remained, with every event and moment that has chipped away the mind. This person dies a little every time. There will come a moment, when there will be no bits and pieces left to sink. An emptiness that can only witness the fragmented corpses of oneself, that once was. In this cosmic ocean of existence, some of us drown, maybe the current is too strong, maybe it's too cold or maybe we've been swimming for way too long and are tired from helping others or offering all that we have. For our loved ones who struggle with mental health what would you do to help? Very much like the one life we have, we have only one breath left when we drown and sometimes help can come a little too late. How deep? More than a breath." 

This piece by Samridh Mukhiya was created to raise awareness about the importance of mental health From the Series, 'Meloncholia'

Abstract textural painting by Lu Pearl “Mother Earth” is a 40” x 30” sculptural painting created with sculptural paste, acrylics and copper leaf in May of 2020 

The work is available for $3,600 or $360 x 10 months, no interest with our partner Art Money 

Artists' Statement: Lu Pearl - Award Winning Artist, recognized in the US and UK

While considering a theme for an art piece depicting introspection my initial thoughts were to turn inward to observe my own mental and emotional processes. During the recent times of uncertainty that we have all been going through I imagine that each and everyone of us has been taking stock and asking ourselves many internal questions. It’s been a time of solitude and a time of seeking. 

During this contemplation my mind wandered momentarily to a time when I was in California driving through the areas of Sonoma county that had been ravaged by wildfires. It was a heartbreaking sight to absorb. Acres of burnt out forest holding on to the earth, weakened and charred. I stopped my car to look around, it was deadly silent, once where there would have been wildlife scurrying around there was nothing but a lull. As I stood there I began to look closer, amidst all the devastation I could see bright green shoots peeking out from cracks in tree trunks, pushing up and poking through the crispy debris on the ground, buoyant and dancing in the sunlight. My sadness turned into delight at this beautiful sight of renewal, rebirth and resilience. I was mesmerized by the glory of nature and it’s ability to rebuild and start again. 

It occurred to me that it’s how we show up in this world that matters. It’s how we continue to create and endeavor to be the best version of ourselves through the good times and the bad times. 

“Mother Earth” is about the beauty of this planet that we all reside on. It’s about how we as humanity are all a part of its glory and maybe all that we need to do is remember our own strength, our own resilience, our own brightness and our own ability as a species to rebuild and regrow. 

Fear should have no place in this world, we are all here as one and we are greater and more abundant than we allow ourselves to feel or believe.

The smooth, calming organic texture of encaustic, bees wax painting with cool colors in this piece juxtapose against the rigid affects acrylic plastic streaks to create oceans made of plastic.  17 billion pounds of plastic now live in our oceans, estimated by Ocean Conservancy.  The amount of plastics that scientists have now estimated flow into the ocean every year from 192 countries with coastal access.  10% donated to Ocean Conservancy to assist with protecting our oceans.

This ethereal ocean painting inspired by a walk on the beach, extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world, breeze flowing through your hair and clothing, illuminated by the late afternoon sun. Feet grounded in the sand, swaying with the breeze, meditating in sync with sounds of the waves and sight of the beach, in awe of the ocean. You are at peace.

This abstract painting brings you to serenity, coupled with an additional panel - the pair is sold as a diptych with dimensions of 60X72X1.5" Colors include lively coral with green - ocean blues of turquoise and deep blues with purple and lavendar to make a beautiful rainbow of pastel colors.

Inspired by The Dominican Beach Club, walking to the beach, through paths of colorful landscapes and tropical flowers, this colorful painting brings you back to the beach, breathing in the sea air, breeze through your hair, in view of blue waters and a rainbow of sunsets, illuminating the clouds.

This large scale abstract painting was created with mediums of acrylic paint and ink, on a gallery wrapped canvas.
