When looking at this piece you see an obvious understanding of sadness, but continue to gaze at the piece and you will feel its energy magnetically pulling you in. Yes, the artist feels emotional, but what are behind the tears of sadness? The dark penetrating blue part of the eye signifies intuition as deep as the ocean with much significance of sharing the eye with the color orange. Orange dives deep in the realm of creativity, expression, change and understanding. These colors in the eye are to tell you characteristics of the person whom the eye belongs. The red eye shadow tie in with the lighter blue representing an intense, impulsive, passionate lover projecting the involvement of a significant other. The sweeping strokes show a flow of emotional self-preservation and a protection from fears and anxieties. Such an overwhelming state of powerful emotion shown in this piece which lets you know the artist’s state of mind and how deep he feels. Though the artist chose to use characteristics of an eye that look more like a female, he believes that the message comes across stronger this way.
