LOVE heartZ (prints)

I was asked to create images for a project on diversity and inclusivity. I pondered for weeks as to what to paint, and when I entered my studio, hearts began pouring out of me. I couldn't stop! LOVE is the universal language. It encompasses us all.

"balanced LOVE" is one of four print versions from the same original painting. I was inspired to paint this heart on a satin soft green acrylic substrate. It just calms me--like the feel of fresh grass underfoot. And the vision of beautiful trees--especially palm trees!

Green is a symbol of rebirth. It’s the color of youth, prosperity, growth and progress. And physically, the color green has a relaxing, calming effect on our bodies which contributes to increased focus and balance.

"BE LOVE" was the first heart I painted in this collection!  The original painting is 54"x32".  I wanted to encompass all shades of color because, to me, each of our hearts resonates to a different color.  That gives us our energetic signature.  We are so unique and individual, yet our energies are ONE.  And we get to BE LOVE in our own special way.

I painted "compassionate LOVE" using taupe and silver metallic paints because of their gentleness and calming effect.  Taupe inherits a natural type of warmth and organic down-to-earthness as well.  Throughout my life, I have learned that when I don't understand someone--it's because I haven't opened my heart to view them from their perspective--what they have been through or where they come for.  When I do, I tend to experience compassion and empathy for them.  Life can be tough.

I painted "divine LOVE" on lavender satin acrylic inspired by my lavender dream--a walk with God. Divinity. https://pamelanielsen.com/blogs/news

Violet/lavender is the color of enlightenment, grace, and divine love. There's just something about lavender that penetrates into my soul. I can feel it when I paint on it and with it. A reverent peace comes over me. It's a very sacred color to me. Leonardo Da Vinci said, “Our power will increase tenfold if we meditated under the violet stained glass windows in the cathedral.” I just love that.

I painted "earth LOVE" with Mother Earth in mind. Her beauty envelops us in love and supports us continually. I love the look and feel of deep rich soil. It grounds me. My husband used to play professional baseball for the Yankees and White Sox, and he makes the dirt in our yard look like a ballpark. lol We have the best dirt on the block!

The original of "free-Spirited LOVE" was painted using taupe and silver metallic paints because of their gentleness and calming effect. I love this heart so much, I wanted to add some spice to it! So I shifted the color to neon/hot pink in photoshop for this print. "free-Spirited LOVE" is me! I love how it makes me feel. To me it represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. 

And one night recently, after coming home from a hospital stay for Covid, I was given a jolt of neon pink in my dreams in the form of sea salts-it made me feel so vibrant, alive and happy!  The healing vibration of color at work!  It was amazing!

NOTE:  The MATTE METAL print is not as vibrant as GLOSS METAL or PAPER PRINT.

"ocean LOVE" is the original version of three prints from the same original painting. I am such an ocean lover and these specific colors remind me of the waters in Sardinia and Samoa. Its energy brings me such peace, serenity, clarity, openness, expansion, endless possibilities . . . I could go on and on! One day I will be living by the ocean. I can't wait.

I absolutely love flowers . . . you can check out my COVID-inspired photos of my fresh flowers in my home here https://pamelanielsen.com/collections/flowerz.

"organic LOVE" was born from the smell and colors of organic greens and copper foliage combined with baby blue hydrangea I experience when I walk into a floral shop. I'm breathing it in right now.

Buddha says “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” I am SO grateful for "organic LOVE"--it blesses our lives everyday if we just stop and take a moment to soak it in. Indoor and outdoor.

I painted my original "self LOVE" with metallic orange paint.  Orange is the color of creativity and according to Frank Sinatra "the happiest color".  I love its vibrancy and no apologetic attitude.  Then I decided I would offer the print in 11 different colors.  Each of our hearts resonate to a different color vibration--I hope you will find your color here.
