Seeking the Bridge, 2018
Acrylic

$1500 - 1200 *Negotiable*
For Purchasing: sonlera1911@gmail.com
This painting was inspired by the second form of Wing Chun called Chum Kil (Chum Ku) which is Cantonese Chinese. In English, this translates to "seeking the bridge". This was painted with the open hand form of the martial arts by using two brushes instead of one. In the form, there are strikes and blocks with the foot movements. I used my canvas as a way to express my internal and external conflict. After I filled the canvas with paint then I started to work from my subconscious to display my current state. The original plan was to paint a bridge, which would be gold. I chose the Main Street Bridge since I currently live in Jacksonville.
The animals on the left represent the war that’s inside me and the animals on the right depict that I’m trying to save what’s left of me.; I’m seeking peace. The figure in the middle is an abstract portrait of myself. This figure glows in the dark.
The water represents Bruce Lee’s philosophy that says you must be formless like water. Including water in this painting shows that I’m learning how to adapt to my situation. The owl depicts the wisdom we can find from situations that we face in life. The dove represents peace and the horse represents the free spirit. I painted the bear and bull to depict my battle with working for a financial firm where I’ve wanted to earn more. Being at the firm has made me feel drained lately. The solider and question mark represents who am I at war with. This war only exists in my mind because only sometimes, I feel like- I’m at peace. I believe due to me becoming empathetic, I’ve let the external affect the internal.

If I Gave You My Love
Acrylic on canvas
32in x 24in
For purchasing:
Love is what we give away on daily basis and the outcome tends to be negative most times; those we love may use us and may care less. We ought to be conscious for those we share love with. Why forget where we come from and love those we have just met, in our new homes, so much?

Revolution
Acrylic on canvas
32in x 43in
For purchasing:
“What if it was black education?” is a question everyone from the “dark continent” would wish to ask. The continent of rich cultures has produced the most genius men and women who should preferably be the center of the hypostyle hall of knowledge of our children. There is no future without our history. The black library should be our source of knowledge for our children.

Black Warrior
Acrylic on canvas
32in x 46in
For purchasing:
There is no human race or gender on earth that has had to fight as long and as hard as the black woman. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be seen, fighting just to be accepted as they are; free of societal and cultural expectations rooted in systematic oppression, subjugation, and perpetual servitude. The depiction of what it means to be a black woman is revealed in this artwork. Black education is an essential tool in revealing the warrior identity in a BLACK WOMAN.

I created this painting to display the beauty of the female figure. I love how calming the color blue is and how it pops against a deep black background.
