Marquesan tribal demon half-sleeve

Mar 13th

in Other Creativity

The client wanted a traditional Marquesan tattoo to reflect his story about overcoming hardships. After enough research I found the necessary symbols and style to do his story justice.

The central piece of the design is the demon head being caged in by rows of shark teeth, which represent strength and protection against threats and evil spirits coming both from the outside and from within.

The pair of eyes at the top represent the watchful eyes of his ancestors and a connection to his roots.

Along the side of the demon head and around the biceps are several different markings representing family members and the close bonds between them.

The spirals represent time and change.

Goodbye

Oct 2nd

in Color

Goodbye

This was a heavily experimental piece, done purely for relaxation. It’s actually showing the front of the body while the head is facing the opposite direction, an attempt to illustrate ambivalence. The strings/staircase play a significant role as well.

	Dear friends and strangers from near and far! As some of you may know, I have a habit of throwing the contents of my imagination on paper and various other available surfaces. The result of several years of practicing this will be publically displayed for some time in Aarhus, and you are all invited to come and check it out. For those of you who are unfamiliar with my tendency to create stuff, … I’m a self-taught artist, currently studying Digital Design at the University in Aarhus. I grew up with traditional drawing, later picking up brushes and finally discovering digital media and photography a few years ago. Nowadays I enjoy working with most forms of 2 dimensional art. I prefer working with realism/surrealism, but enjoy experimenting as well. A laid-back opening party will take place on September 7th, starting at 14:00 where free cake will be served to the first 60 people who show up. Regrettably, we don’t serve drinks, but if you feel like bringing a few beers and hanging out, feel free. Bring your friends, family and lovers. Come look my stuff on the walls, kick back, talk, dance, have fun and eat cake. Nothing will be expected of you except to enjoy yourself and you’re free to come and go as you please. It’s all good. You’re welcome to invite your friends to the event! Admission: Free Location: La Kantina(Æstetisk Kantine) – building 1585, Langelandsgade 139, 8000 Århus C http://www.au.dk/personerogbygninger/kort/bygf/bygning/1585/ Opening: Sept.7th, 2010. 14:00-18:00 (local time) The exhibition will be open on weekdays from 8:00 – 15:00 for two months afterwards. Cheers! - Mariam

My final high-school project for art class.

Finished in April, 2006

Acrylics on board.

It measures 2,55m x 1,30m (roughly 8’4” x 4’3”….and I’m 161cm tall, you do the math) and took me 2 months of hard work to finish.

This is a painting about change and choices and creating and self-expression. You can let misfortunes drain the life out of you or you can use them to feed pretty things, filtering bad blood through pure white flowers.

Obviously there are lots of symbols in this. The most important is the thick, green vein that leads from the heart, through the body, out the head, around the arm and into the flower that bleeds.
