Art of Maquenda

The king has to die, so something more true can be born.

Something very different because.....I got very obsessed with Severance >_____________>

Perfect timing with the solar eclipse :)

Domino spotted this tattoo of my art in the wild in Berlin hahaa, crazy!!

I know I haven't been posting much art lately. I've mostly been absorbed in gardening, plants, and my side job at an organic plant store. It's been helping me reconnect with a part of myself that isn't centered around making art... or maybe it is, because life always finds its way back into it.

Some days it scares me how little I'm creating, but deep down I know I need this, in the same way I did when I was a kid. Social media has changed so much, it leaves me feeling more burnt out and bored than inspired. At the same time, I miss feeling connected to other artists. I miss the way things used to be, but I also know things are always changing.

Anyway, here's a little snippet of something I'm very slowly working on. It's a sharp contrast to the lush garden I've been immersed in lately, but I'll always have a darker, quieter undercurrent in my emotional landscape. I try to meet it on the right days and give it somewhere to exist.

Cheers to the weekend hehe

Just seeing where it goes :3

New fun project! I enhanced a cheap thriftstore sculpture :3

When I see these things I always think they look better with an animal head haha! I can't wait to paint it! 😄
