Blue Mess

I got yelled at for making a mess while painting this, but it was definitely worth it.
This 50×50cm acrylic spray and paint on canvas will soon be hanging in its new home in Cairo.

My second landscape

This is the second landscape I ever painted. I never really knew I could paint landscapes and I defo didn't know it's going to be that much fun.
There's just one thing that I'm kinda worried about; I'm not quite sure if it's okay to paint landscapes using acrylic paint. It's like all landscapes are usually painted using oil colours and they all have this vintage feeling to them, which is not available in my painting. I just hope that's acceptable.. I don't know.

Midnight sketches

I have been sketching for days now. It's slowly becoming an obsession. I really miss painting though.
The sketches of these cartoon characters were inspired by two amazing artists' work, that I got to see at the Saatchi in London; Gerald Davis' triptych "Fagboy" and Annie Kevans' portraits of dictators as children.

Red Ocean

I always have the feeling that the painting isn't messy enough when I abstract. I keep trying to express myself through painting and I mostly think I do until I look at the final result. No painting -so far- reflected all my feelings and thoughts perfectly. But this painting here, I assume, is the closest to that messy colourful painting, I've been lately wanting to paint.

Milky Way

The best thing about abstract painting is that either you're in control of the paint brush or the paint brush is in control of you. It's hard to explain, but it's just that sometimes you don't know what to do next and you end up closing your eyes and letting the paint brush lead you. Well, they say that your feelings and thoughts are the ones leading you, but I'm not sure about that. I bet they're right, I just didn't reach the point, where I can fully express myself through painting. Not yet at least..
But all I know is that I enjoy nothing more than painting, even if I'm not always really satisfied with the result.

This is the first time I use spray paint while painting! And it's awesome!
When I was painting these circles my sister came to me and was like "Are these planets?".
Her comment really annoyed me, but I thought I'd name the painting "Milky Way" to always remember that provoking comment of hers.
I know you don't read my blog, little sister, but good job, you practically named the painting for me.

That's it for tonight! 
Ciao, beautiful people

My Thursday night occupation

Another boring Thursday night spent alone. Another painting that kept me occupied for at least 4 hours.
I was supposed to continue a painting of a car I started a couple of weeks ago. I love painting/drawing cars. I always did. But now I think I love painting ships just as much, which somehow upsets me and I can't tell why.

Just a little too colourful

This drawing was supposed to be an attempt to use all 48 crayons of my set, but of course I failed at using them all! So I thought it was just going to be another way of letting my anger out. But I'm not quite sure if I really did let it out. So I guess the drawing practically failed at everything it was ever supposed to be. It doesn't matter though, I think I'm satisfied with the result after all.
