Buscando algo: Lamentina

Digital painting originally done with pen and paper, then enhanced and painted digitally, done with ibis paint x. Painting based on the poem written by me titled “Looking for something: Lamentina” talks about the search for something you want, and the introspection of the subject.
Part of my series of drawings made in a magical world called “Dream Forest”

“Bajo el hechizo de su propia belleza, su sufrimiento se tornó caprichoso. Todos anhelan su cuerpo y encanto exterior, mientras ella anhela el amor anidado en una pareja.
Sabe que esa persona ya no comparte su sendero, que tomaron rutas distintas, y el amor se desvaneció antes de florecer por completo, dejándola sumida en la vacuidad.
La búsqueda incesante de ese amor la guió por variadas relaciones. La cual la hizo cambiar paso con paso, en un vaivén de vida y muerte que simboliza este bosque. En su vida, cada día trazaba un camino nuevo, uno tras otro, en constante formación.
Ese algo que colme su ser se le escapa, parece inalcanzable, y la desazón se instala. Ha compartido distintas camas, sin hallar la ansiada paz en su corazón.
Intentó recolectar las mismas flores, expulsar sus demonios, pero solo cosechó rechazo, un rechazo arraigado en el ayer. Arrepentimiento y desesperanza se ciernen, llenando su hogar de criaturas que la atormentan con su presencia.
Al final, En la quietud de su esperanza perdida yace, mientras el eco de su anhelo resuena entre los árboles del bosque que alberga sus secretos. Su pasado no fue solo un trauma, sino un presente que la invade, física y emocionalmente.”

“Under the spell of her own beauty, her suffering turned capricious. Everyone covets her body and outer charm, while she craves the love nestled within a partner.
She knows that person no longer walks her path, that they took different routes, and love faded before fully blooming, leaving her submerged in emptiness.
The ceaseless quest for that love guided her through varied relationships. It made her change step by step, in a back-and-forth of life and death that symbolizes this forest. In her life, each day traced a new path, one after another, in constant formation.
That something to fill her being eludes her, seeming unreachable, and a sense of unease takes hold. She has shared different beds, yet found no sought-after peace within her heart.
She tried to gather the same flowers, expel her demons, but reaped only rejection, a rejection rooted in the past. Regret and hopelessness loom, filling her home with creatures that torment her with their presence.
In the end, in the quiet of her lost hope, she lies, as the echo of her longing resonates among the trees of the forest that harbors its secrets. Her past was not just a trauma, but a present that invades her, physically and emotionally.”
