hi, im jeniffer. im super into spending my free time exploring art, especially neo-expressionism—kind of art style thats all about raw emotions and messy unpolished approach. my paintings arent just random pieces; to really get that neo-expressionist feel, i usually go with isolation as a theme. i got the idea after doing a small survey with some close friends. from their stories, i picked a few to turn into paintings. i also did a bit of research and took inspo from neo-expressionist artists, especially Jean-Michel Basquiat—hes my ultimate fave. acrylic paint is my go-to, its just so versatile, but ive tried watercolor and gouache too. for me, art is more than just creating something pretty; its like my own little world where i can express myself and connect with others through visual storytelling in a way thats not just personal, but also something other people can vibe with

the duality of human existence, where external appearances often mask the deeper realities within. the fragmented figures and layered composition evoke a sense of conflict and tension, symbolizing the constant push and pull between opposing forces—strength and vulnerability, order and chaos, light and dark. it suggests that individuals are often caught between performing for the outside world and facing their private struggles. through its dynamic contrasts, the painting questions what is real and what is merely a projection, highlighting the complexity of identity and self-perception

comfort in my skin

feeling the embrace of whats familiar to us and what feels like our own color, however, one color can vary in hue and may even blend seamlessly with other colors. mistaking comfort from something or someone that feels like it belongs doesnt automatically make it right for us

everything is happening, will happen and happened. no matter how much freedom everyone has it will always result in the same thing. patterns that are familiar to many others are done by different people, at different time, circumstances, age and place. often times, being stuck doesnt always come in stills but could come in many forms. as portrayed by a spiral, confinement takes form of a vicious cycle known as repetition that everyone is bound to follow

navigating through grief

jenfreakingrockwell — 2023-05-20 18:26:41 UTC

grief is something not to understand but to explore. to embrace and not to overcome. there are layers to peel back and layers that will keep adding on. just like riding waves in the ocean, its not something one can fight but to move along with. its complex but often times there a beauty in mystery
