🇬🇧 Artwork: The light within

Today we’re going to talk about “The Light Within.” You can see this piece on my Instagram profile by clicking here.

I’m Nycka Nunes, a visual artist, and in this blog I talk about my work, inspirations, projects, and related topics. I’m currently raising funds to acquire a larger space to work and also to purchase photography equipment. If you can contribute, read the “Maecenasship” page to learn about some options. Buying my artwork available here on the site is also a way to help me achieve these goals.

This drawing was inspired by the desire to express the power we have within us. The inspiration was a photo of a friend. I drew the body following more or less the proportions of the photograph, because drawing realism is not something I like. And then I replaced his head with a light bulb to give the meaning I want to the artwork. It was a personal challenge for me, because I prefer to avoid using realism to express what I want, and I am proud of the final result.

The white borders are part of the drawing.

The work refers to the concept of Buddhist enlightenment, a topic I have already discussed in a text on an old blog. Click here to read.

I am developing another project with the same concept of Buddhist enlightenment, with a series of images, using photography as the main tool and, as I mentioned, I do not have the resources and equipment to do this. So, I would love it if you could show your financial support so I can achieve this goal. To purchase the artwork “The Light Within”, if available, click here. Purchasing it (or other artworks available) through the blog is a way of helping me achieve this and other goals.
