Monkeys in my paintings

I like to add monkey's characters to some of my paintings without over thinking, but
now I'm really curious. Monkeys appear in a variety of cultures and represent a variety of things. In one case an animal might symbolize something good, while in another culture might consider it representative of evil. Monkey symbols from different cultures and religions - mischief, mimicry, cunning, benevolence, humanity, nurture,quick and keen of wit, highly observant, curious, loving...

My fantasy oil paintings~ Dreams ~ from the past

We each accumulate responses to the world about us, what we can call feelings or ‘feeling responses’. Artists do seem to be people who feel things more strongly than others do.This set of feeling responses constitutes their inner realm of vision. The artist seeks to reconcile inner vision with outer reality by blending elements of both in their work. This represents a harmonization effort on the part of the artist to combine and reconcile elements from both worlds.

Peter Morrell:
"Without this inner vision any artist appears impotent, with little of interest to say, no matter how techncompetent they might be. In this sense, the artist is great almost to the exact degree to which they are able to express and articulate their inner vision. They are great if they succeed in doing that. They are not great if they fail to do that. Mostly, great artists do both: they create an alternative reality fully formed from their own inner realm of vision, and they successfully blend it with certain elements drawn from the outer physical realm."

"I really don't know if my paintings are Surrealistic or not, but I do know that they are the most honest expression of myself, never taking into consideration the judgments or prejudices of anyone."

My traditional art : still life oil paintings

The genres of still life have sometimes been perceived as women's artistic province, although they have also been explored by a number of male artists, including Cezanne, Bonnard, Chardin, and others.Historically, still life has often been associated with various metaphysical concerns, such as the vanitas still lifes of the 17th century, which contained visual symbols of the fleeting quality of life and the foolishness of vanity.

Even in modern times, still life has presented opportunities for artists to create a visual equivalent of states of being, for instance in the carefully constructed still lifes of Cezanne. In his work, the process of building up the forms and the image over long periods of time brings the dimension of time to his images.
