Extracting from Pain

At many times in life we experience Pain. We cannot hide from it or escape from it. It is part of life. Instead of hiding pain from being expressed through Art, I have chosen to express it.  Negativity or pain can be used to create something rather than hide something. 'Extracting from Pain in Nature' is purely emotionally led and inspired.

I believe,  if painting can be used to express positive emotions, it can also be used to express negative emotions. Usually the negative emotions remain in our memories for longer. I realized from the negative emotions I could extract and release something positive and permanent that others could see and sense and this gave me a feeling of being free. 

The first is that we as humans are bound yet distinct,connected yet individually unique like the trees that have similar leaves but differently shaped trunks and branches. The two trees stand tall but fragile, a symbol of the mix of opportunity and struggles in life, each valuable in their own way .  The disappointments and pain is represented through the twists, turns & the valleys and upward/downward changes in land in the painting. 

In life mixed with the joy even the pain will teach us something new, challenge our thinking but provide a valuable lesson, lead us to a new direction or change our usual system all in the plan for the best and to make us stronger for the future.  We can either choose to let the pain consume us or we can extract positivity from the pain and move forward.
