Description:

This painting was created in Brisbane, alongside “The Battle Goes On,” on a vibrant, sunlit day in a space encouraged by the city for artistic expression. The piece radiates a sense of magic through its bold use of colour, evoking both energy and possibility. The “blah, blah, blah” symbolizes the overwhelming noise and misinformation that pervade modern life, while the question mark stands as a powerful reminder to question the narratives we’re fed by mainstream media and other misleading platforms. At its core, this painting celebrates the power of the individual to think critically and reclaim their own voice amidst the distractions of the world. It’s a call to break free from conformity and embrace the freedom of independent thought.

For the Love of It” is a series that explores Tarik’s deep passion for creation and self-expression through painting. He seeks out unusual, unpopulated locations to refine his skills and find solace from the stresses of life and the weight of past experiences. This process not only serves as a therapeutic escape but also rekindles his connection to the stories he aims to tell through his art. When his creative space feels overwhelming, these quiet spots become his sanctuary, allowing him to rediscover the joy of painting and the narratives woven into each piece.
