Painting on recycled material was epic! This concept was my last commission for a power couple in Chicago. I hand painted and scuffed up two jean jackets for this amazing, local artists supporting couple. The idea was based on the idea from Wren Glory.
I am open for conversation about any colorful ideas for your next panting or jacket art. The process is very hands on and for me, as an artist texture is fun to explore. We can discuss the idea of hand painting Jimi Hendrix, or David Bowie on the back of a Goodwill jacket. I love the idea of wearable art made from recycled material. I am open to painting on jean jackets, leather jackets, and pants. Let's make your closet wearable painted art! Feel free to email with any ideas for commissions or inquire pricing for hand painted jackets. [email protected]

The artists I've had the pleasure to meet in Chicago have helped my soul bloom. I appreciate the deep understanding of needing to create. Creation is a revolution for freedom. This life is more than working the 9-5pm lifestyle within the rat race of the human race. So eventually the cards crumble and we need to find happiness within what we do. Listen to our purpose. Perhaps listening to reggae on a Friday morning is the start of an artists day. Perhaps this isn't the only way. But, hey listening to reggae feels good and certainly helps me feel what's real. Living an artist philosophy. Living in a bulls eye.
The slight twinge of reggae busting through the walls generates a feeling of euphoria. A feeling of belonging and understanding of the moment for the purity of life. Mortals need a break which is what art creates. This is a life where we can create more. Guitar solo. Insight leads the artist to divinity. I swear the times I have all questions running in my mind, I pick up the paint brush and the flow of color answers all my questions. Sometimes painting answers the questions I never even knew I was seeking. The subconscious is a wild fun party when painting abstract. I find myself in the color and the texture listening to the natural flow of my creative energy. I burn from the core, a wonderful creative fire sign degree. Creating is the way I live my life. It's not so much a sacrifice but it's just living in it, the artist life. I find the relationship artists have to one another is like family, it's all I know. It's a simple level of human degree. It's all I know, walking in my home studio, letting my emotions and unimaginable demons go. Allowing a beautiful full moon light into my night. Burning from my core, I won't ever forget the beauty of letting go. Loving a long lost soul made me realize how I need to love my art. I need to pour my love inside my paintings. Pour my soul's rainbow core into reality and create. My art is a reflection of my self love and letting the music play within my brain. xoxoxoxo Sarah Opat Artist from Hamburg, Germany, Tina Berendsohn, paints an intuitive flow of electric wisdom on canvas.

This piece is showing at Goldstar Bar in Chicago for the month of March.
Her name is Mercedes and she speaks five languages. Her third eye shines with rainbow glitter and flutters in the sight of a monarch butterfly. She tends to eat the bananas that melt with hot wax on her noggin. Not all beauties feel beautiful, she feels the pain from past lives flowing in and out of her being and natural essence. This image is from an Italian magazine from the Zhou B. Art Center in Chicago. When pouring the resin over this mixed media babe, the reverse side of the Italian magazine came through the other side. The words are in another language and backwards, super twisted around and complex. Available upon request. She's gold. Onto a new found glory only to meet at a quarter past midnight. Some call it morning. Sinking in the silence of the twilight. In between the silence lies the depths of seeing memories fade. Fading away into the silence of the twilight zone. This is the time for creation. This is the revolution of creativity. getting involved with feelings, emotions, and obscurations, love and honesty all on the canvas. Never disappearing, just revealing. Never knowing somebody just getting to know the souls eyes, or perhaps the I's our soul has lived. We begin to see what madness feels like in our head.
In between day dreams she finds her soul alone in the depths. In the making, an artist regenerates a path for success. A life as an artist is not as easy feat. This life as an artist is always in the making. Gently falling apart while a piano pounds a solid harmony. Gently walking onto the rooftop seeing only your own shadow and the devil on your back. This pleasure is you. Letting creativity begin to change the names and colors of the memories of life. She's ought to catch the next golden cloud. Making new memories and golden paintings. This life is meant for evolution. |
