The artist I chose to analyze is Michaelangelo, a renowned artist of the 13th century from Florence Italy. His work is most famously displayed above the Sistine Chapel ceiling within the Vatican of Rome, depicting the creation of adam and eve (mand kind). His paintings resonate with me on a personal level due to the intimate depictions he created about life and the celebration of our history as human beings. Michelangelo also interests me on a level of faith due to me being a chalothic, his artwork showing our steps within the faith and our connection to God amazes me. By looking at his paintings especially the one above I feel like I am involved in the event watching it unfold in front of my very eyes.
How this also resonates with my own background and history is through his depictions of angels and the "protectors" of members of the faith. I am a firefighter and I feel a sense of association with his meanings behind those depictions as firefighters in this world are here to help and protect people from tragedy. I feel that through my passage of life I can see myself in the place in the paintings and view it in a unique aspect. The selfie I pasted below depicts my rendition of a creation depicting the battle of light and dark, similar to the style the artist above creates. My image is of modern technology but looks a little weathered and old, I feel it brings out questions beyond my words and allows for a window into my life.
How did you manage to post this? I'm having a very difficult time uploading a post with images.
ReplyDeleteI just dragged in photos of my desktop, I found that method to work easier.
