Both paintings are quite beautiful. The first looks like a building storm to me. The second is so calm and peaceful.

Gorgeous.

Ditto. The swirling water of the first one is very powerful.

I love the power of the water in the first painting :smile: And the colours in the second are lovely.

the colours within the top picture are so deep and it feels so intense. very beautiful. the other gives a feeling of freedom...

It is as if you understand the essence of coast and sea water. It´s not specific but a wider concept :up:

Thanks, you are right!

In a art book titled Change 20 Singapore Artists - A Decade Of Their Work. An introduction by T. K. Sabapathy Change and Transformation, it mentioned this:

"No too long ago Prabhakara Jimmy Quek made a desclosure which is valuable for an appreciation of his painted world. He said: "I never paint directly from nature. When I see things that make an impact on me, I observe them and store them in my mind. It is only after they have been allowed to settle, to become part of myself, that I can paint them."

"Allowed to settle": this is a key conception. Jimmy's pictures are the outcome of this process; the picture surface functions as a ground on which streams of energy settle and coalesce momentarily; in doing so, they unfold luminous vistas."

This is how I do my work.

A good way to work. It´s not only observations then! Lumps of your soul will stick to the images :up: I see that clearly :smile:

Stardancer 7. August 2009, 23:27

I understand that concept! I really understand it!

That's how I dance. I can't dance to a piece upon first hearing it. It must "settle" first, find a place in my soul. Then my dance becomes a part of the art of the music.

Thank you so much. I've never heard it expressed so clearly before.

:smile:
