White Crab Spider

Some Cypriot fairytale, in a place that we dismissed as mundane. Cars in the meanwhile were living their own narrative, in the shadow of our existence.

Tumbling emotions

most times really hard to grasp

do you try to control circumstances?

or let them reveal themselves to you?

~

This one is dedicated to everyone who is making the work to see their chimera of emotions straight in the eye. The ones who take responsibility for their emotional selves regardless of the work that everyone else around them is doing.

~

This one is for the brave ones who accept that ‘the work’ starts with ourselves. Thank you, thank you for doing the work, taking responsibility for your own triggers and your tenacity to learn which patterns of behaviour are most often causing the opposite effects from what you desire.

~

If the sea is full of waves then so is your lived experience of life, full of emotions. Will you control it or will you ride the waves?

If you are the fighter, which elements would go on your sheet? Ask the people close to you too, might be funny to hear what they have to say.

Hiiiii its Announcement timee!! :))))

White Crab Spider is officially up and running!

What is it you say?
Well, it is an account dedicate to my visual art, graphics, illustrations and physical creations. Who is me?
Hiiii its Andriana :) The artist behind these scribbles, textures, shapes and colourzzz.

This space will be the holding my work of art, work of silly, work of knots and / or work of who TF* knows.
Sharing my work without thinking about it too much. And even making a brand out of it [OMG]

So this is my attempt to:

1. Let go of perfectionism as an artist and just …
2. Share my work
3. Have a space to experiment with various graphic elements that really really REAAALLLY deserve to come out of my closet.

Expect The unexpected. After all I wouldn’t be doing this if we knew exactly what would come out of it.
So for now swimming in the uncomfortable pool of uncertainty for new visions to be revealed it is.

Stay tuned, ask me questions about my process and let the adventure begin!

xoxo
Andriana
