“Patience” – Sold Artwork by Surreal24seven
Patience is the art of hoping. - Luc de Clapiers
‘Patience’ is a deeply symbolic piece that reflects my personal journey as an artist and the resilience required to endure life's uncertainties. At its heart is a woman seated at a rusted piano, overgrown with vines and worn by time—a powerful metaphor for the passage of years and the patience needed to create something meaningful. The woman herself is not untouched by time; rust and vines creep across her form, merging her with her surroundings and underscoring the transformative effects of persistence and struggle.
The decaying room around her, overtaken by vines and crumbling walls, mirrors the erosion of time, yet it also speaks to the beauty of growth and resilience that emerges amidst the ruins. Though worn, she continues to play, embodying the steadfast hope and creativity that drive her forward.
This piece mirrors my own story of transformation. At 41, while working at a hostel in Guatemala, I found myself grappling with dissatisfaction and an uncertain future. Art became my lifeline, a way to channel my frustrations and dreams. In those early days, the legitimacy of digital art was often questioned, and success seemed out of reach. But with unwavering patience, I stayed committed, eventually earning a place on SuperRare—a prestigious platform where only 1% of artists are accepted.
From there, my journey expanded to physical galleries, including prestigious venues in Palm Beach, Florida. However, like the woman in the artwork, I’ve faced setbacks, including the digital art market’s downturn. Still, the lesson of patience remains central to my story: with time, effort, and hope, opportunities will bloom once again.
‘Patience’ is a tribute to the virtue of waiting, to the quiet persistence that allows us to keep creating and dreaming, even when the world seems to crumble around us.
Sold on SuperRare, ‘Patience’ is a reflection of my journey through uncertainty and the quiet strength of perseverance. To explore more available works, visit my Available Works page or see the stories behind other sold pieces on my Sold Works page.
"Bunnie" – This artwork vividly brings back memories of a night in LA, a moment etched with the raw pulse of the city, where I, just a naive kid from the suburbs, sought something different from the life I knew.
I found myself in one of those speakeasies tucked away in an alley, where the walls were canvases for graffiti that told tales of rebellion, and the atmosphere was thick with the intoxicating scent of freedom, which to me felt like the purest form of art. It was in this electric environment that I met her, known only as "Bunnie," a name as enigmatic as the neon-lit club we were in. She was enveloped in a cute pink hoodie, her body a canvas of tattoos, each one a story in ink.
