Coronavirus Pandemic, there is hope :-)

-


As the main focus of my blog has been on the artistic style of life, I consider at this moment how could I reflect on a moment such as this, the time of the Coronavirus Pandemic. A time when a virus has invaded our species and seeks to kill the most vulnerable, leaving in its path, destruction and pain. This virus is not a respecter of person, religion or race, an invisible enemy.
This crisis reminds me of the movies, where there is some infectious disease, the whole world is infected and the race to save the human species begins, and where politicians and scientists are in a state of confusion as they try to combat the unknown. How is it possible to fight the wind as it throws its punches? Impossible, right?

Sadly this is not a movie, but it is our reality, from supermarkets being flooded by anxious shoppers, hospital systems being overloaded, too many deaths, to leaders demonstrating their ability or inability to lead and protect their citizens. The world is in a state of confusion and everyone is scared because they consider, will this virus invade their family? will they be next?

As a believer in God, my assurances have to rest in faith and not fear. Fear consumes the mind, while faith gives hope that tomorrow will be better, and God has the world in his hands and he will protect his children from the onslaught of the enemy.

Life has taught me that you may not be able to change the situation, however, you have the power to decide your reaction, and at this time I encourage myself and others to choose faith over fear.

Psalm 57:1 “Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.”

Comparison of Statue Memi and Sabu and the Statue of Gudea

-

According to Oxford Dictionary (2013) a sculpture is defined as the art of making two- or three-dimensional representative or abstract forms, especially by carving stone or wood or by casting metal or plaster.  Sculptures help to tell the history of how people thought and the practices they conducted. This way of expressing oneself was more important in ancient times as oppose to recent times where we have the benefit of writing books, blogs and much more are readily available.  This essay will seek to compare two sculptures of ancient times, the Egyptian statue of Memi and Sabu and the statue of Gudea from the Neo –Sumerian culture. 2 The Egyptian statue of Memi and Sabu was dated back to the Old Kingdom, Dynasty 4, ca. 2575–2465  B.C. It is a statue that was painted with limestone and represents a non- royal couple; however the inscription on the statue suggests they had royal acquaintance. Their  status are further confirmed  by the way in which the  couple are dressed in commo

Self-Portrait Documentary, Life of Lena Marie Fossen

We try to understand, but is that really necessary to become sympathetic or empathetic to one's pain? This is the theme that underscored the recent documentary Self-portrait, based on the life story of the renowned photographer Lena Marie Fossen, who struggled with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. Lena’s anorexia began at 10 years old, when she decided that she wanted to remain a child and not grow up, why she came to this conclusion was never addressed in the documentary. I think to some extent all of us are nostalgic to our childhood, a time of innocence, being carefree, being protected and no worries at all, perhaps in some way she wanted to hold onto this time. However, her decision to remain a child spiralled into 23 years of struggle with the disease and mental illness anorexia nervosa. As you see her child-like frame speak to the camera, you see in the same moment someone so strong but at the same time so desperately weak. Her thoughts are conflicted, a

Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso

-
Paul Cézanne born in 1839, Aix-en Provence was a Post-impressionist French painter who became the bridge between impressionism and early modern art such as Cubism. One of his most recognized pieces is ‘The Large Bathers’ that was produced towards the end of his life.  In this painting he did not conform to nineteenth century methods and was applauded by critics for its wide spaces, well –formed figures and use of color (Artble, 2013). Cézanne was able to fulfill his purpose of creating a timeless piece. Two upcoming artists that were highly influenced by the way Cézanne analyzed and pulled apart the subject matter were Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. This influence of Cézanne is evident in paintings of Matisse’s ‘Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life)’ and Picasso’s ‘Les Demoiselles d’Avignon’. Considered one of his greatest Fauve painting Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) depicts an ‘ Arcadian landscape filled with brilliantly colored forest, meadow, sea, and sky and populated by n
