I am an artist

The instant I saw my painting finally complete and framed--I felt euphoric. Is it normal to be in love with one's own work? :) haha

I have always loved art. The one time I went to New York, I squeezed in a lot of museum visits even though it ended up driving my relatives crazy. When I was in San Francisco, I'd go to SF MOMA every first Tuesday of the month to take advantage of the free entrance (haha) and I'd spend the better part of the day basking in the presence of my favorite artists' masterpieces. There was just something magical about looking at an artwork a century older than you. You know the artist has long since gone but his presence is still very much alive--a part of him is immortalized in his artwork. The first time I saw a Picasso and a Van Gogh, I got goosebumps. I felt they were in the room watching me.

I've always wanted to be an artist ever since I was a kid. And although I have pursued it as a hobby all these years, I didn't consider myself an artist. I was just a kid who liked to paint.

Last night, though...the moment I saw my work framed...in all its glory...it suddenly hit me. Putang ina artist ako!!!! Wahaha :P

It's just really different when you elevate art to the level of total self-expression. This was the first original artwork I ever did. I've been painting all my life but most of my subjects, I copied from photos from magazines or from photos I took. They were paintings, yes; but they were not works of art. They were imitations.

This one was total essence though.

I'm not going to live forever like Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso; but a part of me has already been immortalized in that artwork. It captured a moment of me in time--my hopes and frustrations, my fear and excitement, my passion.

It captured me.
