There might be a list of things that we think we'd want from a partner, but we can't ignore what's metaphorically written on our hearts.

Paper Heart

Our beds are intimate and private. Through dreams, we sometimes see clearly what we couldn’t while awake. In this painting, this concept is compared to a sighting of a plane in the sky. The tree in the center of the bed not only represents balance but the connection we have to the past, present and future. Although the surroundings may seem rocky, there’s always room for growth.

Plane Sight

My paintings are like my children. Painting is like giving birth. The process of creation can be sensual and spiritual.

"Beloved Past" is an art piece that delicately blends sensuality with spirituality, appealing directly to the experiences of teens and modern adults. It portrays a young woman in the act of taking a sensual selfie, a symbol of contemporary self-expression and confidence. However, a mirror beside her reveals a poignant contrast—she is shown offering flowers to a gravestone inscribed "Beloved Past." This artwork invites viewers to interpret the "Beloved Past" in their own way, weaving their personal stories and memories into the fabric of the piece. With its straightforward depiction yet room for imagination, "Beloved Past" encourages a deep, personal exploration of the themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time, resonating uniquely with each observer.

Beloved Past

AWOZ, a passionate artist hailing from Guadeloupe, emerged onto the artistic scene a decade ago upon his return to his homeland. With a background in landscape architecture (DPLG), he finds boundless inspiration in the harmony of Guadeloupe's natural beauty. 
 
Since childhood, AWOZ has been exploring the world of drawing with a fascination for the precision and depth offered by black ink. His art, exclusively focused on realism, captures the very essence of his surroundings, highlighting the richness of Guadeloupe's landscapes and the energy of its Creole culture. 
 
What sets AWOZ's work apart is his love for Creoleness. Deeply enamored with creolization, he delves into the roots of his identity, exploring the cultural blends, traditions, and beliefs that characterize Guadeloupe. Every stroke of his pen seems to tell a story, every shadow evokes a fragment of the rich Creole heritage.

Guardian of the Water Bearers

This piece, entitled "Fragrant Memories" is of a young girl being transported to her past after smelling the fragrance of a rose. We can therefore make a connection between the sense of smell and our spiritual lives since a specific scent can remind us of something we have experienced in the past. The fragrance of the rose makes the girls' senses come alive and as she smiles we can see she is having a pleasant memory - maybe of her grandmother tending to her garden. She is surrounded by roses and she is indeed experiencing "Fragrant Memories". 
 
The sense of smell is indeed a powerful one and can transport us back to the past. There is a link between our sense of smell and our spirituality. Growing up as a child, i can remember the scent of my mother's favourite perfume as she dresses for galas. Today, whenever i smell that specific perfume, I can picture her - how she looked with her red lipstick and her red dress.

Fragrant Memories

This painting is entitled "To The Beat" and it speaks to our sense of hearing. As the young boy listens to the music, he is transported back into the past and he seems to be reliving a pleasant memory because there is a smile on his face. He is really enjoying the music since his eyes are closed and he is singing along to the song. 
 
Memories and experiences are tied to our senses. Sometimes we might hear a song and we remember an occasion from the past maybe from a wedding or a funeral. This in turn might influence how we feel, whether it is happy or sad. 
 
The sense of hearing is indeed a powerful one and it is a spiritual experience to be carried back down our memory lane by just listening to a song. We are therefore both sensual and spiritual beings.

To The Beat

This painting is entitled "A Taste of Heaven" and encourages us as spiritual beings to indulge in an exploration of the sense of taste.  A Divine Entity has blessed us with this ability and invites us to taste what He has provided for us in nature.  As we use our sense of taste we can experience Him - we know He is present with us.  The young girl enjoying her mango is just the beginning of what He can do and just how much closer we can experience His existence and His presence in our daily lives.  As she closes her eyes she is experiencing a oneness with nature.  Two mango trees are behind her and a ripe mango falls from the tree to the left.  She listens as the leaves of the trees rustle in the background and yes He is there!

A Taste of Heaven

Heaven's just one thought away, a change in mindset to be self aware. Few minutes of meditating can take you there, and a few more to get you out. "A land not so far away" is just one of my many journeys made exploring heaven, allowing me to share as much as the beautiful parts of the mind. 
 
"A land not so far away" (Poem) 
 
To believe that there are worlds away would take more than an imaginative mind. It would involve an all consuming consciousness and awareness that could only come from a deep rooted connection to nature and everything it represents. 
To strip one's self of the simple and mundane 
To lose one's self in the mystery of what the eyes cannot see but the heart can feel 
To lose one's self in the absence of the physical and grasp to the intangible string that pulls on one's soul to the spiritual. 
Only then would you truly be able to connect and visit the worlds away that the physical self cannot go.

A Land Not So Far Away

"Dare to feel you" (Poem) 
 
The brush of the leaves like a lover's touch, or their soft breath fanning against lips, pebbled skin and eager flesh awaiting the rush like the flow of waters. 
A rush, raging, untamed, intense A stream, steady, controlled, at ease A drip, like the nectar of a delectable fruit, that was freshly peeled and devoured. 
There lies the aftermath, not a massacre for nothing lies dead. 
Instead, everything is new. 
The essence of inner self, intertwining and becoming one, one with nature (or we can put one with the ultimate aphrodisiac)

Dare To Feel You

She represents the interconnected pureness from the heavens and all creation. She manifests wherever her healing energy is called for, and takes the form of an island on whichever planet needs some blessing. Mirroring the image of self, promoting rebirth and longevity for dying souls. Her presence can be felt throughout those that seek healing. 
 
"Athelayna" (Poem) 
 
As up above so below 
Sculpted like a goddess 
Divine and transcendent 
The symphony of dimensions collide and create a one-ness that surpasses what we can phantom. 
You see the form that we take can either destroy or remake an image of pure ness like no other. 
Those invisible hands that shape and mold sights to behold 
Above and below 
And that fro that grows it protects what it holds, it's in sync, in tune in time It's More than Divine 
It's Miraculous

“Within” I have a fascination with the study of cells and how beautiful and sensuous life is under the microscope. This piece is a reflection of that beauty, what is within.

Within

I used sensuous lines and many layers to give depth  and a feeling of falling head first into one’s own cloudy thoughts and dreams.  I believe where there is life spark/ energy there is a soul and what makes you “you” develops in layers as your body and soul through physical growth and the trials and triumphs of life experience. One’s spirit exists in every part of our being and over time old cell die off making way for new cells… who you are now is not who you were last year, five years ago or decades ago due to your growth, your joys and tribulations, your mistakes and your achievements and love and heartbreak. The depth and complexity of a person’s character is as intricate as what you see through the microscope with a look within at the cells and molecules that give us a human body and as we know that there are many layers and cycles cells to come so too there are many stories yet to be told of one’s character navigating this experience called life.

Dance… a conversation with no words. Sensuality… the premise of how we experience our bodies, other bodies, and the world around us. “Vintage love” shows how we can form deeper connections by rhythmically moving your body to the sweet sound of music. Dancing with your partner rekindles your passion. To me, dance is love. Dance is self-expression. Dance is a statement. Dance is sensual.
