EPICUREAN VORTEX

EPICUREAN VORTEX by Roopa Dudley

Everything inspires me. The earth, the space, the ocean, my art collectors, my friends, the weather, philosophy, mathematics, science, physics, astronomy, foreign languages, books, movies, music, plants, children, toys -- you get the picture. I have never suffered a creative block. As a matter of fact, I cannot even relate to that concept.

I usually try to keep things positive and sunny by painting that which is uplifting than that which gives me the blues. Sometimes however, I do paint things that bring me emotional upheaval but that is only to perform exorcism on myself so that I can detox my mind and open it for more positive experiences. 

This bejeweled painting here is a metaphoric view of the viewer of my art. Once hooked in what I create then like in the story 'Alice in Wonderland' how she fell into the Rabbit hole, the viewer unwittingly falls into my Wormhole or what I call the Epicurean Vortex from where there is no escape and it usually has a delightful impact. At least that is what I would like to think as an artist.

So buckle up that seat-belt, take a deep breadth and enjoy the journey inside my brain. And if you like what you see -- remember to share it with your loved ones and leave me some comments!
