The Lightness Within Loud

These sketches are the journey for this painting. It went through so much to get where it is now. Grab the painting here: https://www.chaosinpaint.shop/product-page/loud-canvas ❦

My name is Loud. I was born on November 22, 2023 in Jeddah, in Majd's bedroom.

My previous name was Gentle. I had dark shades of red, grey, and black. Some white spots.

I was covered in varnish so I would have this protective layer, but it made me look cloudy and left ugly marks.

I got sanded down so the varnish could come off. Once it was off sucessfully, I was ready to start my new life.

I am so red, all the different shades of it.

I am movement.

I am life.

I am fluidity.

I am expression.

I am happy with the way I am.

I feel space.

I feel space to be who I am.

I don't have limits. I am not constrained or constricted.

I am rooted.

I am sure of who I am.

I want you to see me in all my beauty.

I am walking towards something, taking my time with each step.

I feel energized, refreshed, rejuvenated, and alive.

I am at peace.

I am comfortable in my own skin.

I am feminine.

I surrender. I am surrendering fully.

I am comfort.

I am me.

Hi there! Majd speaking 💛

Can you believe that I painted this painting? All that pink? Because I honestly can't believe it. If you know me, you would know that the color pink and I have a complicated relationship.

I look at it and I go, "did I really do that? me?"

I never thought that I would painting a semi pink painting, voluntarily. Yet, here we are.

My takeaway from this painting that is that answers and ideas will come. Not on my timetable but according to theirs. There is a flow of inspiration out there, slowly make its way to you.

With each mistake, there is a learning.

With each learning, there is a creation.

With each creation, there is a feeling.
