Nur I (2019) by Tantiyana | Original Painting | Mixed Media on Canvas | 4 feet x 2 feet

"Broken hearts,
Missing friends.
Severed blood ties,
Accused and ridiculed.
Misunderstood.
Fragmented mind,
Dissipated from reality.
Isolated in darkness,
Weeping in agony.
Lost, in a whirlpool of anguish and pain.
Scarred beyond recognition.
Unrecognisable.
Soulless, an empty husk.
In the darkest of darkness,
Where all goes to perish,
I felt it.
'Nur' touched me,
Surrounded me,
Electrified me.
Revived my soul,
To start anew.
Gave me strength and wisdom.
Gave me hope.
Wounds healed, mind recalibrated,
Mended heart armoured,
Faith restored.
I soldiered on.
Persevered.
With will of steel, passion fueling me,
Love as my compass,
I shall be victorious,
to reach the Realm of Light."

A little bit about the artist

TANTIYANA (b. 1977) began painting in her teens but kept her art private. It was a significant personal loss of her dear mother that spurred her intense journey into expressing her emotions through art. Now, her husband, a stroke survivor, is her main muse, inspiration and strength to be even more determined to face challenges and strive for excellence and success.

Tantiyana or for short, Yana, works exclusively in abstract genre and paints using acrylics, spray paint, plus other compelling medium. She also does assemblages and installations using unconventional and recycled items.

She believes that everything happen at certain time for a reason. She knows this was the right time to be doing art and fully explore and thrive in it. She feels like she is finally “home” and felt it is where she truly belong.
