The future remains obscure.
My two pieces are poles apart. Whilst one shows a tranquil blue environment the other illustrates a deranged and polluted dirty brown city. A monk meditates in a reserved area where nothing can be seen from miles and miles, and then in an entirely new setting, another monk walks away from a congested city that is polluted to such an extent that the monk is forced to wear a gas mask. ‘Smothering smog’ and ‘Blue Bliss’ are two derivations from my explorations on the future.

At the first sight I honestly thought these paintings were the nuggets of the real artists posted, only to be astonished the very next moment noticing the label written concentration. I felt that both the art pieces were simply impressive and the efforts were evident. To begin with, in the first painting ‘Smothering Smog’ I was really caught by the use of colors. Along with the dusts which were particularly well-expressed, various colors in the background blended together so smoothly, and spontaneously guided the observer’s eyes to the two focuses of the painting. Also the contrasting use of distinctive edges with acrylic color succeeded to somewhat highlight the main figure. On the other hand, I was little bit disappointed because I thought the details of the buildings and the person somewhat insufficient compared to the background colors and left the painting look slightly incomplete. In addition, I found the angle of painting too obvious and boring, that it possibly has brought down the quality of it. Moving onto the second painting ‘Blue Bliss’, I found its monotonic and consistent colors interesting. The colors gave some sort of unity and the contrasts in colors helped the observers get the focus to the figure in the middle, where the color was darkest. Besides I thought that the cautiously detailed layers of shrubs effectively counterbalanced the simple open view depicted at the top. Also the different uses of expressions suggested that the thickness of water on the brush was controlled well. Only thing I thought which could be fixed was that, the contrast could have been made stronger in the background with darker colors to make painting look more natural, as overall the parts were much brighter in tones compared to the figure in the center. However, after all both the paintings were very high in qualities and interesting.
