About Me

My photo
Magnetic Island., Queensland., Australia
ARTIST PROFILE. (Edward Blum). I have painted and drawn since childhood, as a form of identity and purpose. It provides out side of family the single most powerful force predominating my life as far back as I can recollect and is symbiotic of my future. I look forward to this future which will be consumed pursuing art personally and professionally. As an artist I would like to capture the human condition, basic emotion and our essence. A freedom to look deeper than thought and express in a far more powerful medium, using color figuratively and in abstracted form. A universal language defined by the human condition. It is this place in the human psyche where what we visualize is interwoven not only by what we interpret that we see. But is also tainted by the shadow of our past. A distortion of our perceptions of reality as we believe it to be.. Ultimately it is here that my mind finds interest, and I foresee my artistic future evolving.

Sea Horses. 
23.03.2012. 100cm x 75cm.
One of the visually inspiring places I have ever encountered is the Reef Hq. A incredible aquarium in Townsville, each time I go there I am over come by colour and the experiences of what I see. It enables me to identify with the ocean that I am surrounded by. The sense of teaming life we take for granted and I feel as I walk along the beach, especially at low tide. It gets to the point were I see so much life, holes in the sand, shells moving, aquatic vegetation, coral that I feel compelled to move higher to the more barren thicker sand. I realise even my foot print has a price.
Now I live with this picture as I like to adding, bits as I feel. I like to hang them on my wall. When I least expect it as I walk by something jumps out and grabs me. Then I add each finer detail until I finally feel it is finished..
Photo's taken of my last visit to Reef HQ.
