Wildflower Dreams by Julia Chuquis, Bluethumb Finalist

This painting is about finding your way back.

“Dreaming of my farm life when the fields were full of wildflowers and my young heart was filled with courage”. 


This is what helped me find my way back from severe anxiety and depression.
Remembering that I was once strong and free.

I went to nature to find my comfort, especially in times of change where the outcome was unknown. 

Nature reminded me to trust life’s process, endure the ugly bits until 
I arrived to something beautiful. 

Through nature and creating art I stand here today healthy and strong , living life with gratitude every day, 
and when spring comes along, it reminds me of what I was able to overcome.

The colour palette I used was to represent earth, water, sky and bloom. 

The painting starts with the movement of water and acrylic to create a delicate stain to the primed canvas, representing the freedom to dream. 

Various tools create the acrylic layers that embody the many layers of emotion, 
while the gestural brushstrokes mark the victory of finding my way back and the discovery that the cure was always inside me.

"To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower" -William Blake
