This is the most recent original in “The Number of Days” collection, that is now available in my shop. It was about time to return to it 😊 #lineart #contemporaryart #myart

It’s such a long time since I last worked on “The Number of Days” series. And with all the stress around Holidays, this being my least favourite time of the year due to past trauma, and the fact that my health is not the best at the moment, drawing lines and stippling is the best way that I can continue making art. My tired mind cannot handle long working sessions for the “Now” project, just small ones here and there, at least for the time being. All this to say that soon some originals from “The Number of Days” will be available 😊 #lineart #myart

First original of this year on colored paper is now up and available in my Etsy shop. And, now is the time to give a little more in depth story about my “Now” project. Back in March 2024, I have watched the tv show “The Three Body Problem”. If you are familiar with it, there’s a countdown that is a crucial part of the plot. I had found it fascinating in the relation with the story, how it was accentuated. It was like a main character in itself. And, if you stay to think about it, it kind of is. Now, me being enamoured with space and time, I was inspired to put time on a space that is making sense to me. That, I have discovered later, keeps me grounded and allows me to think much more clearly. It makes reality more tangible for me. It makes me truly fell alive and with a purpose. Talking about purpose. What I want this project to be, is the work of a lifetime. I want to write every hour, minute and second of an entire year. That’s how long it takes for Earth to circle around the Sun. To see this project to its completion, I am estimating that it will take me between 50 to 60 years to finish it. Now, because with such a big task mistakes are bound to happen, I have come to the conclusion that it’s crucial to accept and embrace them. That is what the gold blocks mean. They are mistakes in writing the time, where my mind wonders a little too far. And this is a parallel to life itself. We are all morally grey in nature, we are all bound to make mistakes, smaller or bigger, but more times than not, we put ourselves to the ground for them, when a lot of times we should just accept and embrace them, learn from them and grow. And because the word count for the caption is not infinite, I will stop here. I hope that at least a part of you will understand what this means to me as an artist. I know some of you, followers and collectors alike, are supporting me with it, and did so from the starting point. For this, I will be forever grateful for your existence, and, as long as life allows me, I will pour my essence into this project. #conceptart #contemporaryart #myart
