Life is a Maze.....

There are twists and turns
There are many ways
Some lead us to dead ends
Others lead us to something wonderful
Eventually there is always a way through it…

 ....In the maze of life...

This latest abstract piece I have done this month came about after I was reflecting over the idea of  'life & death'.. The abstract actually  has two layers of meaning. First, in life we encounter many possible ways,  dead ends (loss), 'twists & turns' (obstacles and lessons) however these together in the maze of life eventually lead us to something worthwhile.
The other level of the painting is based on the conflicting moments experienced of relief with sorrow,  pain & happiness &  the concept that  life is really only understood backwards, when we have made our way into the maze rather than when it is observed from above.

'Life is a Maze happened when i was 'in the zone'.... and all external factors filtered out and I was in the natural flow of it and the painting almost painted itself.

I donated the  original series of Life is  Maze to a local hospital and medical facility in Lavington area in Nairobi.

Look out for my future posts on more abstract paintings !!.....and step by step illustrations too....
For any one interested in having an abstract  or landscape art done for their home, office or as a gift..do email me on taskin.butt@gmail.com ..... I'll be glad to help !...

Lets talk and ARTWALK! ....

Kuona Trust, the Centre for Visual Arts in Kenya held its Art Walk, Valentine Edition on 14 February 2015  at Kuona Trust itself and some Artists,including myself from Kenya represented some of our artworks at the one day event.  It was a great day filled with art, food, music, sun and fun ( and a bit of rain towards the end! )..... As guests and visitors trickled in, they had the chance to view art, walk around stands, meet with the artists and interact too! while relaxing with some bitings and music playing in the background!..... The Art was on display from 10 am to 6 pm and entry was free! Watch out for more events coming soon ! .....
