Painting with your heart and spiderella

in WORLD OF XPILAR3 years ago

I started to experiment with facepainting 2 years ago. I was going through some difficult times in my life and I thought to myself that I should try it. I was always fascinated by fantasy creatures and fantastic movies with sci fi and amazing make-up. I liked the way the whole story came to life throught the work of actors, visual effects, make-up, writers etc. I particularly liked, even now, movies about the universe, the galaxy, about what else might be there. I think that we are too small to consider ourselves so big and I like to see how different people see our story as a human race.

I must admit that I was not prepared to see that in my country few people appreciated this type of art. I saw how people changed the way they looked at me just because I dared to do something different. In the point of life I was at, I didn't care that much anymore. I needed so much to let myself in the arms of art, completely submerged in my talent and in my fantasy. It helped me a great deal. If you've been through rough times and you have an artistic edge, you know what I mean...

Yesterday I felt the urge to do a facepainting. I haven't done it quite a while because...silly me..I felt awkward after some people reacted in a negative way towards this type of art and I felt ashamed to continue. I realise now it was a mistake. Not all people can understand me and that's ok. But here on hive I feel accepted and this tiny seed of courage is starting to grow. I feel happy and peaceful posting this, although the little werdy nerd in me is cringing:))

I thought about duality. About good and bad. About how could we escape from a reality that bothers us sometimes just because we let it. I thought about spiders, how light is their web, how silent they move. I thought of Spiderman with all his fantasy tricks flying from building to building being free. I thought about colours and the way bright colours make us feel happy. I thought about how nice it is to accept who you are creatively and to let your talent to speak for you, ignoring the naysayers who bring down everything that they can't understand.

When you think that all of this creation started with half of my face painted with glittery silver. ..

For me painting is like therapy. Any form of art can be like this. I believe that we artists are sometimes feeling misunderstood and this makes us sit in emotional agony, feeling no one can relate to us. But maybe we need those experiences of suffering in order to realise our full potential. In order to discover and understand ourselves better. I think that there is a difficult road towards artistic creation. This road is paved with fear of being judged, with insecurity, with frustration, with anxiety. But after you take such a difficult road and persevere , the destination is worth your battle. I believe in never giving up, I believe that we can always find an extra web to hang onto, surviving another day.

You never cease to pleasantly surprise me. Great results!
If someone does not understand you, this is the problem of those who do not understand. It shouldn't block your creativity.
Many people are (unfortunately) devoid of creativity at all. Listen to your heart :)

Wow, great talent and perfect makeup :) Just like the beauty of your make-up, what you wrote impressed me a lot. Unfortunately, there are people everywhere who make discouraging comments about those who go out of the ordinary or try new things. Sometimes, as you said, they can lower our mood. But it would be unfair to ourselves to take seriously people who are closed to innovation and creativity and spread destructive comments to the universe. Fortunately, you have come to realize this. Truly, art is a therapy and a force that holds our hand in difficult times.
Keep doing the things you love that feeds you in a positive way ;)
