Jack's Broken Heart


It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart

- Gloria Gaynor (I will survive)
[Oil on Paper]

A Whirling of Dervishes

Here is F's first painting, inspired by Sufi ascetics. The colors swirl around the dervish and unite in harmony in his heart. Oil on Paper.

Jack's Confusion

[Oil on Canvas]
Inspired from the very post modernist and one of my all time favorite movies, The Fight Club, here is the first of a series - Jack's inflammable sense of Confusion. Its also my first abstract art and is a representation of a dark mind that is caught swirling in confusion between alternatives. The conflict is a choice of cool bluish serene realistic alternatives with the romantic idealism of an orange fury.
