IN DIALOGUE WITH THE SOUL

I believe in connection as the whole life purpose.
Expression of feelings and deep emotions through art is a medium for me to find balance in life.

In this exhibit, I have used acrylic colours to emote the innumerable and uncountable emotions, soulful expressions and the beauty, divinity and rawness of a woman.

She is deep, mature, playful and courageous and to be able to capture it all seems impossible.

Hope that you see in her a little bit of you and a little bit of me.

FEODORA

Deep and magical
That glow that shine
Enchanting and pure
Are those beautiful eyes
I drown in you
For I cannot look away
You sweep me off my feet
With that mystical gaze
You fill my heart
You touch my soul
And I lie awake
Aching for more

ELLETRA

That deep unrest
An unsettling pain
When illusions break
And beliefs change
When it is tough to hold on
Even by a thread
Engulfed by waves
And tortured by every breath
No words
No shoulder
Nothing can give you peace
Your shut everything out
And you struggle to stay alive
When loneliness is not a feeling
It is beyond you
You begin to create
In death you are reborn
In creation you are closest to yourself
The sense of calm leaves you speechless
It suddenly works like a charm
Puts a balm on the tumultuous uproar
And when the storm settles
It is warm again
And an artist is born

NATALYA

Do you really lose it all?
Your worst fears come true
All you think was your own
Everything you protected
Stood by and defended
What is reality?
A mere shift in your belief?
You know a lie
It is convenient
Truth is painful
An effort it is
What if you dared?
Dared to believe
To bare your truth
What if you took the courage
To jump fearlessly
To stand alone
What will you see?
What will you find?
Will you find what you have missed the most?
Will you find you?

AMELIA

Phased out and worn
Despicable and contemptuous
Hideous and jealous
Ruthless and mean
When words are hurled at you
And you are not seen
Scarred and doubtful
Of your whole being
You look at them tattered
Torn and shattered
Beyond the face and behind the masks
That you have adorned for so long
That the difference is lean
I shall not leave
I shall not bleed
I am here to stay
I am determined to be seen

ALESSIA

There is a tussle
A tug of war
A pull and a push
Between the heart and the mind
Who do we fight?
When we are all the same
What do we lose?
When there can be no win
We wake up every morning
And tell ourselves
You can do it
Take one day, one step at a time
Can we plan?
Can we predict?
Can we be fair?
And put the record straight
Is it really a war outside
Or a war within
Will it always be dark?
Or will there be light?

IRINA

Adjectives are many
Profound and pure
Powerful and strong
Sometimes immature
With poise and dignity
She stands on her toes
Ready to embrace the world
She is demure and in control
Fun and charming
Can never say enough to describe her stance
Mysterious are her ways, a woman she is
She smiles through her eyes
With a song on her lips
She takes on life’s strides
She has her own charm
Loves and lives
With beauty and grace
Some call her sweet some call her spice
What she is for you, only you can describe
For the sea holds treasures difficult to epitomize

MIA

I can see your soul
I can feel your struggle
How lonely you must be
As you lose your own
To be the chosen one
To be special
To be different from the rest
To live in a realm that is difficult for the world to fathom
To survive the tides
The highs and the lows
As the moon takes over
And the waters uproar

ALEAHA

For once I am left gasping for breath
For once I don’t know what to say
No matter how many words I pen
However much I try
You leave me speechless
You leave me with so much to feel
I am too deeply in love
For in this moment
There exists no truth but you
The world stops for me
And I spin in you

FIA

When no one can be seen
When the only sound you hear
Is your breath
Oh, so deep
Yet your heart rushes
And skips beats
You hear music in your body
You swirl and twirl
You dance and sweat
When you forget
What is not to remember
When you are one with you
Honest and true
It is nothing but pure joy
As you accept you
And there lies a small glimpse
Of what is called, a free spirit in you

ROSALIE

Deep within
What cannot be seen
Is a yearning
To love and be truly loved
How much we hide
With masks of humor
And of modesty
But raw is the urge
And hungry are we
To be heard
And to be seen
As we are who we are
And truly complete
As we search for belonging
A quest so deep

FIORELLA

Colours splash
Yellow, pink and blue
Some water
Some play
And they dance together
To create shades anew
From blank
From empty
Comes a shape
And your heart sings
To the magic
To the pure joy
Of beauty and grace

CHIARA

Am I looking back?
Do I look away?
Do I look at light?
That shines bright
Telling me it’s a new day
Distant, it becomes
A blurred emotion
Nothing fills the vacuum
Nothing leaves it empty
Have I turned around?
Turned around to see
To hear and feel
My presence in me

CALANDRA

I feel on me
The breeze that caresses me
I am lost in its beauty
As I feel nature in me
It blows a hard whistle
Makes noise as the leaves rustle
Telling me
To hear my own voice
I ﬂoat in the feeling
As I realize
How free the soul is
If we are kind to ourselves
If we give ourselves permission
To take chances
To risk breathing free

AVIVA

She sees imperfection
The lines, the distortions
The absence, the presence
The complete incompleteness
Contours don’t match
Nor do her thoughts
For they cannot be fixated
To a point or a dot
Is she a cynic or an artist at heart?
Puzzled is she
Like the audience that watches her game
For pieces don’t fit, for pieces don’t match!

LUIZA

I see you
I feel your thoughts
I accept and I embrace you
I am honest and true
In my every word to you
I listen and I comfort you
I trust you
I find solace
I find space
But you leave
And make me learn
That you do not see me
You never saw me
It was always me
Me alone
And I continue to learn

HAZEL

From where I stood
To where I stand
I am amazed
At my own journey
I surprise myself
I pamper me
I take care
Like I am my own baby
For life is a full circle
And I feel I am at the center
As the line moves
And goes around me

VIVECA

Bubbly and pretty
Chirpy and fun
That tease
That laugh
I feel so young
You are my muse
You are my queen
You wear my heart
You make me dream
I am not blue no more
As you make me blush
And pink I go

AUDREY

It pains
It hurts
Every inch of my soul
Feels ripped apart
Its dark very dark
A maze that runs amaze
A web in which I am caught
Desperate to escape
I cannot move
I am stuck so tight
Plundered and savaged
Is all my might
I lie unfazed on the surface of lies
As those scornful words
And mistrust
Reverberate in me every day
Is love a verb
Or a mere noun
For there is a job we all ought to do
And one amongst them is to say ‘I love you’

VITTORIA

I am ready to play
As there begins a new dawn
I am ready to play
And bask in the sun
The sound of music
Dances in me
I lit up when I feel
I am free just to be
As I tap into my world
And press my foot on the accelerator
That rush
Is ecstasy
Go easy on me life
As I have a lot to do
Lots of pages to turn
Before I sleep

ELISA

I feel I feel I feel
A deep tremor rising within me
Shaking the foundation of my beliefs
All I felt was once true
Has turned out to be a myth
Is it learning that we need?
Or is unlearning best?
Deep in the complexes of my mind
Runs a marathon
A web of tales we tell ourselves
A fancy vase we plant
As I look into those eyes
I can see how deep
How deep is that emotion that talks to me
Without saying a word, it talks to me

ORIANA

Beyond the surface
Behind what can be seen
Inwards I go
And search for meaning
Engulfed by emotion
Too caught up to speak
I mumble to myself
That I lack belief
It is yet to come to me
As faith is a gift
Not everyone’s treat
I follow my heart
And where the soul takes me
In quest for the hidden
For what I cannot see
