So I haven't shown my work here in ages, but I'm getting pretty excited and feel like sharing.

For the past month I have been working extra hard to finish two paintings that may get presented at a big art fair in Madrid in a week's time.

I don't have a picture of the finished pieces yet, but I have a little preview of what it looked like in the early stages, that I thought I could show here and maybe I can get some insight on them.

No-one has seen the pieces yet and I just can't keep it to myself anymore, the anxiety is killing me. Please tell me what you think! A lot will depend on what the gallery director thinks of them.

I promise to post a couple of pics once they are finished.

If they get shown at the fair, I'll post a photo of that too. (Here's hoping!)

So, here it is:



intrigued?

We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
