Arctic Dreams (Divine Awakening) • Acrylic on timber, 100cm dia, 2019. • I started this painting last year and finally finished it last night. There is something paralysing about working with pristine white base. It creates a fear of fucking up. I deliberated for so long before putting the first stroke of purple onto the snowy peaks. This is ironic because I was always telling people I wasn’t precious about my work. I am glad I overcame the mental block, trusted my inner voice and painted on! • #jaustar #myworks #acrylicpainting #modernmandala #mandalaart #arctic #divine #awakening #wisdom #abstractart #artgram #instaartist #texture #purple #green #iridescent #cosmic #ethereal #angelicenergy #trustyourinnervoice https://www.instagram.com/p/BtR5vSQBenQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=820l5y92a9w3

Emerging. 65cm dia. Acrylic on Timber, 2018. I haven’t been able to paint for a while. Energy levels were low and I retreated to a dark place. Mandalas are a representation of my inner self and I felt this piece captured the moment where I emerged from the darkness. It’s good to painting again. #jaustar #myworks #mandalaart #healingart #spiritualart #modernmandala #blackandgold #goldenpaints #abstractart #instaart #artgram #emerging #moment

Remember the post yesterday? Well it was a close up of this beautiful mess if I may say so myself ;) A friend requested for it so it’s been cut out to preserve its integrity 🤣. Needs a good wipe down before I can ship it off! Ready for fresh round of paint stains! #jaustar #artgram #myworks #acrylicpainting #nothingisrubbish #processes #beautifulmess #randomart #abstractart

Dots and Lines, some initial sketches. When I buy art materials I tend to buy in large batches, in other words I tend to lose control. I have many timber panels lying around and I recently bought a whole lot of pretty dot stickers. A little voice in my head told me excitedly we’re gonna make art with these! 🤔 We shall see... So I began with random circles and then I made arbitrary rules about how lines should intersect and where I’d place the dots. It was interesting to see what orderly chaos came out of this experiment. More to come. #jaustar #myworks #random #rules #wip #processes #stickers #dots #lines #circles #intersection #havefun https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVIA4_hbhw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=el2fu2wcck9j

It was lovely to receive photos from my client who bought my work from Saatchi Art online. The framing and styling are so on point. Feel so lucky that my work has found a great home. Thank you for sharing the photos with me. #jaustar #myworks #jaustartravelstheworld #abstractart #geometricart #modernmandala #mandalaart #interiordesign #styling #artgram #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp19q9UhLOt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4rgila4e6an
