Joel v. vedad
I paint to express undemanding things in life that most of us longed to feel. The beauty without hesitation, the essence without hidden schema, feelings that make us wonder, emotions that drive people to look back and imagine of what’s to come.
I wanted to show how colors blunt and lame goes in harmony. I want the audience to feel what i felt and in that particular moment without prevalence, there is no ugliness in the heart but passion and inspiration.
Painting is like breathing and if don’t paint what i feel then i would simply fade away and die for my brush strokes are the heaving of my emotions, my colors are the stream that overflows and my canvas is the haven of my dreams and imaginations.
As the poets writes with their aches and frustrations, i paint with my cup of blood the source of my strength to reach out the limitless bounds of self indulgence, sacrifices, absolute surrender and uncompromising intimations.

In the midst of this sudden change,
Standing still, winds along the sinuous
northern coast,
With love that sweeps the tears away,
Enticing every moment,
Abiding faith to ineffable affection,
Romancing with no hesitation,
To the oneness that is ours,
Out-bounded with a long haul,
Yearning with a loud voice of hope,
Of having you eternally,
Upon this destiny we've chosen;
For I, my Beloved, my solitude, my reality ...
... hold my hand to this L I M I T L E S S journey ...
... embrace
... string the ties between us
... freed the mind
... capture the heart
... trust
... love
... rise beyond selflessness
...without limit...
... its limitless

OUT OF THE VOID
61 cm x 91 cm
oil on canvas
Out of the dark void you came
and Out of the dark void you left
With but a glimpse of time
We saw each other motionless, suspended...
I saw you as you saw me
Never speaking but felt...
You have touch my mind, my soul like nobody else in my mind...
you've distracted my thinking my thoughts division...
All I wanna do is see you...
Nothing can be more true...
Dark is the fate playing with our hearts
Of bringing us together & also apart!

SUNTANNED INNOCENCE
oil on canvas
106 cm x 68 cm
2012
In deep shadow of my silence,
Loneliness embraces the memoirs of soul,
Out from nowhere...
Vast of wilderness darkened the past,
Envy in their heart & jealousy unstopped,
Yearning beyond distance,
Mourned till dawn to dusk,
Your mine oh mine...
What the world smiles are for,
Have nothing to grieve for,
I owe you my innocence, my
Suntanned innocence
Kisses from the sky,
You hold my smiles...

In deep shadow of my silence,
Loneliness embraces the memoirs of soul,
Out from nowhere...
Vast of wilderness darkened the past,
Envy in their heart & jealousy unstopped,
Yearning beyond distance,
Mourned till dawn to dusk,
Your mine oh mine...
What the world smiles are for,
Have nothing to grieve for,
I owe you my innocence, my
Suntanned innocence
Kisses from the sky,
You hold my smiles...
