Fluorescent acrylic on canvas.
24x48"
"Denial" is an original acrylic artwork realized on 24" x 48" canvas. It is part of my "Lymed Up" series that aims to raise awareness about the invisible symptoms of Lyme disease. The artwork emphasizes one of the seven stages of grief, the denial, as most of the Lyme sufferers go through this emotional rollercoaster in order to reach acceptance and start the healing process. The painting depicts life at a molecular level, showcasing the impact of the illness on the mind, body and soul. The artwork is created using a special technique that enables the viewer to see the 2D artwork in 3D with the help a certain type of glasses. The artwork is varnished and ready to hang.
Lavi Picu is an interdisciplinary artist, with a background in Linguistics, translation, and writing. Armed with a passion for creative expression and a profound mission as a Lyme disease advocate, she wears multiple hats: emerging self-taught visual artist, poet, ghostwriter, blogger, and chronic illness advocate.
With a keen eye for detail and a love for experimentation, Lavi harnesses the power of painting, drawing, and poetry as alternative forms of self-expression and pain management therapy for Lyme disease..
Her artistic journey is deeply rooted in personal experience, having battled Lyme disease for over a decade. This journey serves as the cornerstone of her mission: to shed light on the invisible symptoms of chronic Lyme disease through multiple mediums.
Lavi's artistic process is a testament to her resilience and introspection. She delves into the intricate interplay of ink doodles and neurographic art techniques, crafting semi-abstract compositions, or creates a visceral world using acrylics, revealing glimpses into the complex web of symptoms and sensations that define her journey. Each artwork becomes a visual diary, inviting viewers to navigate the physical and emotional terrain of chronic illness alongside her.
Driven by a desire to foster understanding and validation, Lavi's work serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment. Through her unique artistic language, she gives form to the invisible, inspiring others to find strength in their own struggles and sparking dialogue about the often overlooked realities of Lyme disease.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore the intersection of visual art and poetry, to shed light on the often invisible and misunderstood symptoms of Lyme disease. Through acrylic paint, ink, charcoal, and poetry, I delve into the nuanced experiences of those affected by this debilitating illness, capturing the physical and emotional complexities that often go unnoticed.
My work serves as a vehicle for raising awareness, offering a glimpse into the daily struggles and resilience of individuals battling Lyme disease. By combining different mediums, I seek to evoke empathy, spark dialogue, and foster understanding of the often overlooked aspects of this condition, ultimately advocating for greater recognition and support for those impacted.
