"Follow your dreams. They know the way." -- Kobi Yamada
Dreams, are they coloured? Do they exist within the portals of our soul? What if we didn't have the capacity to dream, what would humanity be like?
I am a dreamer, and a doer, and I am not the only one (thank you, John Lennon for this line!). Dreams, just like diamonds reflect our soul. The Portal of Dreams painting is from the 'Diamond Portal Series'. In the Diamond Portal Series, I explore the moments of human emotions as seen through the lens of the diamond as a storyteller. You are invited to enter portals where subtle references exist but the story is completed based on your life experiences and desires. I hope that each time you see the work, a new set of questions, solutions and possibilities emerge. The qualities of diamond act as metaphors and hold the stories together.
A blue diamond, pink diamond and gemstone crystals come together in "The Portal of Dreams". And here they are...
