My Largest Painting Ever Designed

September 5, 2020

This is my largest painting ever designed; it sits in Bali; Indonesia. During the week of my art show; I was super sick. I had to see a doctor who arrived on a scooter… and take IV drips and coconut delivery to stay hydrated. I was so emotionally exhausted when I put together all of the paintings; that I was weak… Losing myself and my body to complete the showcase.

I think of myself like Michelangelo while he painted the Sistine Chapel – If you look close enough at the ceiling; where his mural is painted in Italy; you will see two versions of his self-portrait in the painting. 1 Where he stands strong with muscles like a God. 2 Where he holds a piece of skin; which he shares is how he felt as he painted .. like nothing; a piece of skin – being held in his hand. He felt the lowest to the ground while creating something so beautiful.

I love art, but I fall into a state of a condition like I am never good enough… And what I am developing is all in my head as beauty. 💎#lifeofmissydi @missydi
