I Drew Ziggy Stardust In The Settings Of ‘The Little Prince’

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Vera, I’m a New Zealand based Hungarian artist. Creating art feels like being lost in a haystack. I start with an idea that leads to a hundred more. When I begin, the final image isn’t in my mind yet, but there’s a very definite feeling.

Regardless of the medium, would it be drawing, poetry or painting, I focus on this feeling and let it flow onto the paper. There’s always music. When I paint, I paint rhythm or draw a tune. When I write poetry, I paint colours with words. We read the words but react to the meanings that lurk between the lines.

Words act like chords that musicians play, but their silent vibrations carry the message and make their listeners resonate with it. I find paintings work the same. Ziggy Stardust and The Little Prince carry very similar emotions – rock and roll alien angels visiting Earth then returning to their planet. Ashes to stardust, funk to funky.

    “You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You – only you – will have stars that can laugh.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito

    We can look back in time as far as 10^−43 second after the Big Bang. The birth of the Universe is only imaginable through science, art and poetry. To help us express the inexpressible. As an art teacher once explained the art of painting to me, ‘Paint only what’s not there, the shadows – and when you’re done painting the what’s not there the subject will emerge from its surroundings.’ In a single blinding pulse, a Universe is born.
