Art Deep Dive #1: ‘Rooted’

Art Deep Dive #1: ‘Rooted’

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.

Haters will say I do it for myself, when it's really for the community. I want the places I live, work, visit and chill in to be good places. I do my best to be a part of the solution and being rewarded for effort is great. That is called APPRECIATION, which some people just cannot show for some reason. When in doubt, appreciate your own hard work as well. Thank you Vista Library and the San Diego County Library system for the continual collaboration and bringing artwork to the community that uplifts, inspires and brings moments of peace. @vistalibrary @vistafirefighters @vistacagov @vista @sdpubliclibrary #vistalibrary #vista #sandiegocounty #sdpubliclibrary #librarylife #sandiego #appreciationpost (at Vista Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cijbml1ONlU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
