Art Deep Dive #1: ‘Rooted’
Art Deep Dive #1: ‘Rooted’
Tumblr media
When I was 29 I created this mixed medium piece I’ve titled ‘Rooted’. I love trees. They’re fascinating, kind, and inspiring. I took a trip out to Oakhurst where I met an oak tree, go figure. I was inspired by not only the size of the tree but also its beautiful leaves highlighting a gorgeous variety of greens that moved gently in the wind as the tree stood proudly on its own. I named the tree Bob Oakenkirk for my own amusement. After talking to the tree for a moment the only thing left was to paint.
I drew out a loose outline of the tree on the canvas. I love trees that twist and turn with their branches knotting into themselves. I think that’s when they really have character. Acrylic made sense for the branches, but I wanted to give the wood a shine as if a golden morning light was hitting it. So, I mixed my umbers with metallic copper and a few drops of metallic gold. Then it was just adding layer after layer. I love texture, especially in paintings. I know I’m done with one of my paintings when I want to touch it and feel every bump, every brush stroke, every layer. This piece got thick fast. I wanted the tree to feel big and mighty as well as feel alive and centered. I wanted to capture Bob’s personality. For the leaves, I added subtle textures and various shades of lighter forest-inspired green colors, as a base coat. Nothing special, just splatters and strokes here and there. The real green painting was used for the hill the tree is standing on. However, I used darker greens for that section to not take away from the focus of the tree’s leaves. Finally, that small bit of sky blue. I was finished painting but the piece was far from done.
After letting the paint set overnight, came the messy part. I knew I couldn’t capture the color value of the leaves through paint alone, I needed something that felt and looked more natural. I decided to go with a Hawaiian tissue paper dying method that my art mentor, Michael Zlocki, showed me. This involves submerging pieces of white tissue paper by hand into baths of dye, along with inks and oil paints, to create different palettes of colors and patterns then setting them all out to dry. After drying, the pieces are good to be used for art or whatever else I suppose. I cut the pieces into rounder shapes before I applied them on the canvas with a UV protective varnish giving it a result that is both eye-catching and beautiful. After I created the leaves from the tissue paper, I thought the piece was finished. After a few days, the papers finally set and I loved all the textures, but the piece still felt unfinished but I wasn’t sure why. My mentor suggested adding something or someone under the tree. I decided to add a young girl reading under the tree in acrylic paint which for me tied the whole piece together.
As an artist, I have a vast respect for anything that changes or challenges my perspective in life. I think that’s why I’m often drawn to writing or creating female characters. It’s a different perspective from my own. I wanted her to be reading because to me reading is a subtle way to communicate meditation. I love meditating, I believe it’s a great way for your mind to get rest. That being said, I believe there are an endless number of ways for people to practice meditation whether they are even aware of it or not. Some of the most enlightened, balanced people I’ve ever met are completely unaware they are that way, and it’s quite beautiful. I think reading is one of the most universal forms of meditation. It translates easily, mostly anyone can do it if they allow themselves, and that’s what I wanted. I wanted this painting to be easy to take in, to have it be easy to get lost in, like a good book. This piece represents those still, quiet moments of meditation where you get so lost in what you’re doing you don’t realize how long you’ve been sitting there. You feel at peace. Simply just existing for that moment. I hope to have captured those peaceful moments.
The title, for me, has a few meanings: ‘Rooted’ as in the girl sitting under the tree reading and getting lost in the book, and how the tree is literally rooted into the ground, but also how she is connecting herself to the tree and world around her. She’s building roots in the moment that will grow with her and help define who she is. It’s also an acknowledgment that we all come from the earth and we are rooted in it because it is our home.
‘Rooted’ is currently on display and for sale at the San Diego County Library in Imperial Beach as part of the ‘Deeply Rooted’ Art Exhibition until February 29th, 2024, and is open to the public, along with the rest of the exhibit, for viewing. For sale information or further details on the piece, please DM me directly.
For more of my art, please check out my Instagram: @art_by_PAZ or my Facebook Page: Art by PAZ, where I post my latest pieces, announcements for any upcoming shows, and tease artwork I’m currently working on.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed my first ever ‘Art Deep Dive’. I’m planning on doing more, so if you enjoyed deep diving with me please follow and comment your thoughts on the piece or ask me any questions about the process.
- PAZ

Here’s this week’s cover for L’express, art directed by Serge Latil. As often happens, this image went through a couple of iterations as the editorial team tweaked the approach to their topic.

Today is the day I’m going to share something I’m a bit ashamed of myself. 😅 Yes, I’m going to share with you my super ugly sketches. I’m always terrible with sketch. I think it’s because I’m impatient and always in a rush to get things done so I feel a bit “meh….😅” about the sketch. So sometime this issue cause some misunderstanding between new client and I. I had client asked me if I use other people’s portfolio before when they saw the sketch 🤣. That’s why I made these two examples for my future clients today. What can I say? I just feel much more “fun and inspiring” when I working in the Adobe Illustrator. 😅 #artistsketch #artistsketchbook #sketchesoninstagram #sketchtofinal #artistprocess #artprocess #LivWan #illustragram #illustrationartists https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUE_x4Kv0D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you know it takes me weeks to create a painting? 😙🎨 A lot of people ask me what I use to create my art. Well I’m a traditional artist (I do digital for my book covers usually). My fav paints in the world are @holbeinartistmaterials duo oils 🤗 They are an oil you can blend with water!! 😱💓 So they aren’t toxic like regular oils. I layer many many times until I am finished the work. Then I wait a couple of weeks before varnishing. 😉 That process is very sensitive so make sure you read the instructions on the bottles! I always add an isolation coat first then apply my Golden UVLs gloss polymer varnish ✨ Patience certainly is a virtue!!

Work process documentation. -2 degrees. Painting in the heated room. Hot water bottle always with me. ( Although in bed sleeping non oven heated with 2 thick blankets. ) Stanley can with hot tea always am Mann ( at the men: old army saying). My ski mask from my occasional illegal train Waggon spray painting times ( from Hdsportz). I recon these days that women in the streets interpretating the mask hat as a possible pookie & ray ray / Karl donnerlöres/ Rummel Platz Rudi Act from me, offering them some privacy when i give them the opportunity to for granding a blxwie offering brxins ( pc talk here). The ski@mask Is although good to vortue signal/ pace lgbtq people, they think Iam could be mask sling down. Anyway keeps warm. My favorite life item: the warm/ hot water bottle. Already painting with a sleeping feather cover. Got 2 sheep skins. A pullover, a hoodie, 2 training trousers. The Redblue from my time when getting free stuff sponsored from clothing brands. ( 2000er ) years. I painted the coldest in the late 1990s a wall painting with friends when it’s was 9degrees minus for a full day. No reason playing the hero in doors. Thinking how my grandfather surrived cutting woods with in Siberian pow gulag camps living off bread crumbs. Loving the winterish rural essential flair here. It connects me with history, real life. Crazy that the paintings Iam painting will later be in Affluent, high tech mansions/ villas/ condos/ real estate palaces, modern apartments. Anyway way living the life. Listening to quality Redpill content from @allan_reallionaire_show ( iTunes/ YouTube (yt)), my yt list: Redpill, history, from the people Iam following here on Instagram/ Twitter/fb. Iam sitting in a livingroom style armchair. The welded metal technical drawing is planed/ hand builded from the ground up by my dead when in apprenticeship/ studying years. Wearing plastic sandals from north cap ( No cap). Had to repair them a few times with little nails. Loving the brand name tough. Yes 2 socks each feet. #artstudio #frierpinsel #Redpillpraxeology #Redpill #art #SEAK #clausWinkler #SEAKClausWinkler #Artistprocess #studioartist #Artprocess #workprocess #Workinprogress #Manosphere (hier: Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmOyCzsIgJp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I restored this frame recently with acrylic paint and metal leaf. I'm in the process of making a video for Patreon showing off the process in a step by step way, but here is some before and after footage and stills for ya. I don't have a piece of art for it yet, but ya know there'll be a lotta gold up in there when I do. What goldness should I include? A crown? Keys? Skulls?
