I'm doing a 4 part project involving the 4 basic elements: fire, water, wind and earth.
So
for FIRE, I chose to do ADELE's portrait...Her song 'Set Fire to the
Rain' inspired me to use candles and fire as my painting materials...but
why?
To me, ADELE was probably singing about the pain of a lost
relationship. Rain may be a metaphor for her tears she cried, and she is
setting fire to it to burn and destroy her pain. I've used blue candles
to represent tears, and by setting fire to them, they melt and flow
into each other - "Watched it pour as I touched your face..." - and
they form a portrait of ADELE."
