When I’ve needed to express myself in ways that I otherwise cannot through numbers, formulae, or even words, I turn to art. I’ve recently gone through times when I’ve felt myself losing the sense of who I am, struggling to come to terms with my identity. I’ve tried to seek therapy through art, channelling my thoughts and creating pieces as an outlet for my frustrations, a vehicle of my explorations, and a platform for revelation. These pieces explore various subjects, utilising an array of 2D, digital, and sculptural media to offer an insight into the human psyche, while also looking at the fascinating relationship between destruction and creation, and how these two seemingly opposite concepts are instead more inherently linked than we think.
A brief introduction to the various types of artistic mediums that are usually put into the "Crafts" category, including ceramics, metalwork, glass, and wood. Based on the "Gateways to Art" textbook (Thames & Hudson: 2012).

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5. Visionary Art
“The visionary realm embraces the entire
spectrum of imaginal spaces – from
heaven to hell, from the infinitude of forms
to formless voids. The psychologist James
Hillman calls it the imaginal realm. Poet
William Blake called it the divine
imagination. The aborigines call it the
dreamtime; and Sufis call it alam al-mithal.
To Plato, this was the realm of the ideal
archetypes. The Tibetans call it the
sambhogakaya – the dimension of inner
richness. Theosophists refer to the astral,
mental, and nirvanic planes of
consciousness. Carl Jung knew this realm
as the collective symbolic unconscious.
Whatever we choose to call it, the
visionary realm is the space we visit
during dreams and altered or heightened
states of consciousness.” –Alex Grey
6. Carol Prusa
My constructed domes are
provocative symbols that invoke the
idea of the universe and physical
objects that allude to real-life
structures. In my “canopies,” I
explore a number of mathematical
models that physicists developed to
explain our universe. The
mathematics of my expressed
geometries offer a spiritual force
that organizes structures from the
microsopic to the political. Here,
geometry isn’t simply abstract but
creates a real world, sustained by
its own logic.
11. David Alan Sincavage
I believe art should shock the viewer's
interests and curiosity enough to
consider more time for a second look.
Art should be so bold...unaffected by
biting criticism, that it keeps pushing
the edge of common thought out
further, bringing the masses out of its
slumber.
"No, painting is not made to decorate
apartments, it's an offensive and
defensive weapon against the
enemy." Pablo Picasso, Les Lettres
Francaises, March 24, 1945
Artists I like
Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning,
Maxfield Parrish, Robert
Rauschenberg, Yves Tanguy, Odilon
Redon, Pablo Picasso, and many
more.
14. Jose Mertz
Jose Mertz is a artist / image maker
/ graphic designer based in Miami,
Fl. His creative area of interest is
traditional drawing, painting as well
as digital design. He focuses on
pushing an experimental style with
inspirations coming from Ancient
Civilizations, Symbolism, Eastern
Philosophy, Dreams, Myth & the
Super Natural.
18. Samantha Salzinger
These works explore the fabricated
environment questioning the collective
mind of the age, where reality is as
malleable as a simulation and a
simulation as lifelike as reality.
Projecting mysterious places in an era
of genesis, the images reference
ideologies of popular culture that play
to our fantasies, fears and desires.
The metaphoric creation of the idyllic,
sublime landscape, act as core
unconscious escapism. Weaving
together the awe of the grandeur of
nature with science fiction, the viewer
is dreamer in an imaginary world,
optimistic of the future.
22. Amy Gross
I’m fascinated and disturbed by symbiosis,
whether it’s through thinking or illness or neglect,
a strangler fig, errant cells, or mold. I make
environments where everything represented is
made out of something else - imitative materials:
fabric, paper, applique, embroidery thread, paint,
beads, oil pastel, and wax. I re-imagine the
landscape and objects from nature, altered
through my life and experiences of the human
body. I mix anxieties and secrets, physical
symptoms and the love and fear of being mortal
with fabricated roots and leaves and pods and
insects and blooms. I mimic the quickly changing
natural world through man-made materials with a
longer shelf life, an attempt, though illusory, to
slow change, to consider and to hold on to life
longer. Sometimes I like them framed, contained,
externally well behaved, my own memento mori.
After considering the surfaces and the sides and
the cross-sections I’ve started making
freestanding objects, organisms growing of their
own accord, as though I had found them in the
back of the closet, symptoms of neglect
rediscovered, collected, organized and brought
out to air.
26. Reinier Gamboa
Reinier Gamboa is a fine artist whose
work is visual poetry. The artist
weaves several narratives into a
patchwork of experience as he’s
guided by intuition down paths that
reveal themselves in the moment.
Each painting is the layered
accomplice of time and a testament of
personal introspection. The end result
is a journal of process. Each image is
a window into an evolving reality that
nurtures the spawning of different
connections. Within each work is a
need to emphasize unity in a world
that may seem chaotic and
fragmented but which is actually tied
by undercurrents that are not visible to
all at first glance.
30. Nune Asatryan
Nune was born in Armenia.Her
work reflects the great ancient
culture of historical Armenia mixed
with contemporary modern life.
Her style described by several art
critics as Symbolism, Surrealism
and Mystic Impressionism.
38. Freddy Jouwayed
A dot is made to appear on a surface.
It is both a point of origin and of
convergence. A dot bleeds through a
surface to emerge behind the skin
landing on another plane. Two more
points now exist to react upon. One is
an extension of the first, the other
replication. Lines are added and
reacted upon with other lines.
Gestures begin to accumulate and
forms then appear and multiply. From
these forms, others come into
existence, layering their meaning.
More opportunities arise to
contemplate. Surrender to a constant
and meditative state of action and
reaction to markings that accumulate,
extracting layers and fragments of the
mind then alluding to thoughts and
manifestations of the state of being.
