This is a piece I did because I was inspired by my partner. She is a model and is not afraid to show her body in the name of art. As soon as I saw her photo, I envisioned THE HIGH PRIESTESS.

I created this piece when I was full of love and nothing but it. I wanted to show my partner how I saw her, full of mystic and awe. It represents how she has helped me grow more and more into a better person.

This one was done while I was in a Great Depression. I was treated like I was nothing in my last relationship and I couldn’t help but create this. It helped me in the moment.

This is a self portrait of myself, how I see myself. My depression that day was at a all time low and the only way to stay positive was to create this.


 

Markiwi has also released two books that are currently for sale!
