A Colourful Experiment

“Open your eyes
See through the disguise”

Disturbed – Open Your Eyes

There are those days where I feel the urge to just randomly scribble around without thinking about what I’m doing. Just letting the creativity flow. This artwork came to life on such a day. I was roughly sketching an eye and sent a picture of it to a friend who immediately told me that he’d like to have it. I didn’t mind giving it away as I had only spent 10 minutes on drawing the eye. Nevertheless, the picture felt quite empty and lifeless to me and I didn’t want to leave it in that state. I spontaneously got out my watercolours and started splashing around – and to my own surprise I ended up liking the result (and my friend also liked it). Actually, I had a lot of fun while creating this as it felt so free and easy going.
