This is officially my first post on Hive, I've been reading these last couple of days how things went down with Steemit and it makes me sad but learning that all the amazing people I knew there is moving over here makes me really hopeful.
I wanted to post the last part of this series to act as a transition and I really hope it serves as an introduction for those who don't know me.
My name is Juan Cruz, I'm from Argentina, I'm a watercolor painter and I really enjoy writing short stories related to my paintings. Sometimes I make series where there's a common theme. For this one, I wanted to portray what we do, what we feel, and who we really are when we're looking for meaning in our life.
This is who we are
The perfect image;
Like the flower entangled in your hair and ideas
Made in essence of the passing time, through the center of the fear and the drops dripping over the warm chest;
Vibrant, brave full of excitement, it hid it's miracles from everyone because the silence allowed it.
An agony beyond description, perhaps tinted by pain but always latent.
Intense colors that evolve, change, even if we don't want to see it.
Our fate is to repeat the same ideas, the same regrets; like a damned calendar that when we reach this moment, always goes back.
Process
I wanted with this illustration to finish the series with a portrait, on the other parts there was always some kind of motion or emotion, in This is what we do she was looking for something, in This is what we feel she was feeling awe before something, and with this one I wanted to show just what she was, nothing simpler and harder than that.
I started adding the cooler colors earlier this time and I think it was a more realistic approach to the skin tone, I really enjoyed and I will probably try it again.
I hope you liked it! 😀
