Trinity Self-portrait (Acrylics on Wood)-

This piece was created with acrylics on a gessoed board. The board is framed behind and the wooden, wing shaped panels are secured to it. I also used metallic spray paints with acrylics (gold and bronze) to add a reflective quality to enhance the work. The wings work on two different levels: they can be viewed as the wings of the separate, smaller figures; or they can be viewed as the wings of the larger, predominant image (myself). They convey a desire for being pure of heart and seeking moral compassion. The lighting of the landscape in the background helps to balance the forms and give them an inspiring ambiance. It is a self-portrait piece and the female and male figures on my shoulders represent my parents. A tribute to life and my Earthly givers, if you will. I enjoy the symbiotic lines of the figures which also frame in the portrait of myself. The dimensions of the original work are 26in. (in height) X 38in. (from wing to wing). It was constucted and painted over a time period of about two years, and was completed in 2006.

Robert I think this is my favourite of all your works! You put so much of your own soul into your paintings that I think Deborah is right – you have the heart of a master painter. There is so much of who you are in this…I am amazed at the sensitivity of this piece. The wings are brilliant and the placing of the parent/ancestor figures next to your mind shows your sense of honour. I love it.

Interesting art work. I think that parents so shape our lives more with the emotions they pass on that their words or actions. However most of us rarely look at this influence and have our lives shaped by the unconsciousness.
Robert Dye in reply to Tony Ryan’s comment, 3 months ago

Thanks for your comments. Parents are influential in a multitude of ways, even the lack of their influences creates values which are fulfilled in other ways. Yes, it is important to acknowledge and search the depths of who you are, and to share the true self with the world. Hope, you take care, enjoy my works, Peace.
