Will you come?
Raised with a brush since childhood, I pursued art education starting from elementary school and became an art student. Without any titles or accolades, I want to organize an 'Unknown Artists' Kaafey art exhibition. Will you come?
If dopamine were colorful,then painting would be dopamine, and the world would be my palette.
In my life, painting is as essential as eating; there's no need for the word "persistence." It has been the guiding light in my short life countless times. I never aimed for any societal significance, but I've heard many people say, "Seeing your work makes me want to pick up the paintbrush I abandoned years ago."
Others' gazes are a cage, and we have no reason to be imprisoned by them.
Many say my art resembles a child's work. However, after 15 years of art education, I find it tedious. The theoretical approach hinders my joy. I've made efforts to forget all the training, hoping to recapture the feeling of picking up a paintbrush for the first time as a child. Painting isn't so complicated; it can be as simple as life.
Every day, my fingernails are stained black, and I have no clean clothes. Each time I step out, I resemble a little beggar. However, I've traded these for a clean world of my own.
Why smear paint on clothes?
Everyone has a different color palette and painting habits. I create 3-4 spontaneous artworks every day, with each piece taking around half an hour. Most of the artworks I share on social media are of this nature. The rapid brushstrokes in spontaneous oil painting require a significant amount of material. Interruptions disrupt the creative process, so I minimize them to focus more on the canvas, cultivating this painting habit.
The three recurring themes
Eyes, Cats and People.The feelings evoked by humans and animals are entirely different for me.
People often ask why I enjoy painting eyes. Perhaps it's because I perceive vision as the most important sense, or maybe I just find eyes beautiful. But what I truly feel is that I observe all things, and all things observe me. Every object has its own feelings, and as a shallow human, I prioritize making these feelings the most important sense.
Intense things don't last, but I'm perpetually pursuing intensity. Every painting I create is intense.
