Sometimes MLM stands for something awesome

This is my own version of the men loving men flag i.e. the MLM flag which is amazing, validating, and beautiful! :)

I love finding beauty where there seem to be none...and the idea of an MLM is usually connected to someone scamming other people; not in this case...here MLM stands for something beautiful! :)

This is why I open my artist statement with the following words:

"My watercolour art explores everything that is beautiful in this world...People, places, experiences and opportunities."

- Yeshaya Dank

Because; I like finding beauty everywhere, especially in hard to find places, and these 3 letters when put together and become MLM, makes it hard place...so here's beauty from a tough space...from my own personal tough space of having to understand myself, and not having the support of many other people, I present to everyone my version of the MLM flag that explores beauty in the rough, and transformation of negativity into something positive! :)

This artwork took me a week to create, and that is reflected in the price.

"My art explores everything that is beautiful in this world...People, places, emotions, experiences, and opportunities."

- Yeshaya Dank.

I want beauty to be accessible to everyone, and for there to be the understanding that beauty exists everywhere, all the time, you just need to search for it and you will be dearly rewarded!

I paint the uncharted territory, the places and things that I've never seen painted like this before or from this angle.

I try to put many hidden gems into one painting, just waiting for you to discover.

Showing how everything has beauty, it's just waiting to be discovered.

Same with my artworks; with time you will discover new and beautiful details on each painting, which were previously hidden in plain sight!

The artists who inspire my work include:

Edvard Munch, Vincent Van Gogh, and JR.

What is my creation process?

I start by cutting stencils, to ensure that the base shapes and textures are perfect. I then paint using watercolour; up to 50 layers of different colours, in different areas. Allowing some areas to dry fast and some to try slower, creating different textures and shades of colour.

I use thin canvasses intentionally, as i am trying to create beautiful getaways that when not being used, can just blend back into the background again. They don't stick out at you, yet they are still easily accessed at a moments notice, exactly when you need them.

My total creation time, can be up to 3 months per painting.

I grew up in Sydney, Australia. I'm currently based in Victoria, Australia.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and I look forward to meeting all of you at some point in the near future! :)
