ABOUT THE PAINTING
Teeth are always present in my mind, in my nightmares, dreams and worries. Bruxism brings me pain, wears me out and makes me self conscious, there is not much I can do about it, but that is what art is for. When I sleep I grind my teeth hard and it manifests in my dreams; I often spit my teeth in them, I spit blood, my teeth break, I pull them out with my fingers. The images are often grotesque, but if anyone likes to find beauty in the grotesque, it's me. Every tooth and every nightmare is a pearl, and I proudly wear my necklace with my mouth guard.
ART SUPPLIES USED
I painted this piece with the lightfast premium watercolors Schmincke Horadam, Sennelier and QoR, on acid free, 100% cotton, cold-press 300gr watercolor paper by the brand Arches. And, at the end, I sprayed this painting with a few layers of Krylon UV resistant coating for its optimal preservation.
