The Blue skies Moon and stars like a painting in my heart,the sunsets in my head while the sun shine through my bed.so i  pick up my guitar brush and paint,while cameras hanging on my brain.
Photographs memories that would last like a broken dreams in the past,so please let me dream again just,just, to see and fix this broken dreams.the dawn is breaking its early morning,the street lights fighting but still standing,cars are passing and the sun is coming to me.....
my work is waiting to the place wish i had been,pressure drop on your mind think of it that your one of a kind.
to explore is to discover,when your life is gone to nowhere,to adventure is to capture freeze the time and endure.if i could only bring back time to be there somewhere in time.
so tell me.tell me if its true?tell me,tell me, i need to know?that you need me,want me,love me and take you with me to this broken dreams....
this is my music that i made here in Mauritius,titled Broken dreams when i wake up this morning ready to work this song is keep repeating on my mind and it seems like i had a broken dreams last night and need to fix it,this is the hardest part of living alone and restless you have no one to talk to especially on the coldest night,you need someone to be there and care for you..the loneliness and emptiness inside that you need to conquer is part of the survival as an expat..

Wake up in the morning take my coffee breakfast on the table like a simple man,coz you say today it is a new day and i look into the mirror and see the sun.so I walk, walk, walk, to work and sing,sing, singing my song and i look,look, up ahead coz my day,day,just lies ahead.Today my day has started.
the New day has left us behind saying goodbye to the sun,like the sunsets give its unique colors hoping the Moon will see the line,so i walk,walk, to the sand and feel my feet feet for the life that i have done,but don't, don't, stop the time.but just,just follow the line.
Good night to all of you people that living under the Sun, sweet dreams lying on your bed take a rest and have a peace of mind.but what if,if, tomorrows never come did you feel,feel,the life that you have done,so i leave,leave this behind as long as i did,did, the best of my time,today the day will ended.

Sunny Day now that i'm blinded in my mind nothing can help myself,Nobody likes me,Nobody likes me,Nobody likes me,Nobody likes me.....Today is a new day for me,all of the people leaving under the same sun are equal for the new 24 hours given by God we will never know what may happen or what new challenges and adventures in life that's a head of us,so i leave this behind as long as i did did the best of my time,enjoy life to the fullest and  it will never come back again just like you touch a moving water time will not come back again..
Time passes by as the world keeps on turning,while the people are moving on in a different directions. appreciate what you have today because tomorrow is another day,if people doesn't like you ignore them who cares they are not the one who brings you to this world you can call it paradigm shift but its reality..
Life is wonderful and meaningful,we must take good care of it...cheers!!(see you on my next blog)

Raining outside the sun is lost and lonely,according to my old man a bottle of beer you can hear the music of the raindrops,the fog is coming down from the roof through your head while the wind blows.
Hang over I used to say,to stay is to be alive,to forget is to forgive,and leave the past behind.
Hang over is on your head the pain and craziness inside,the emptiness,loneliness and dizziness that makes the one man cry...the mist is on their way,my tears is falling down on me...got drunk and foolish on a party but nobodies perfect just get carried a way the beauty of the moon and the beach at flic en flac concert with cecille my guitar,i was lost and hate myself for being foolish but what done is done,let baygons be baygons..Life is really strange you reach the moment of the happiest state and then the Sad and depressing thoughts will take over,maybe because of missing my home town and everybody i Love as an expat here in Mauritius you need to be strong and survive all challenges along the way,because still there is no place like home...cheers!(see you on my next blog)

Friday 25 May 2012

I, am now in Tamarin bay at the west coast of Mauritius camp here at night with my home made tent and hammock is inside as my bed.I see the waves that crushed after the curve,listening to the wind that sings to your ears,sitting by the trees that gives life a place for you to live and be with you,with you and only you..this is the intro of my song title "Meet Ups".i wrote this song in flic en flac beach when there is a expat meet ups Party on a black Saturday Night,i met different kind of races,south african,Indian,Americans,french.and after setting up my tent at the beach we were playing music in the sand smiling,laughing,exploring outdoors and drinking wine & beer,staring full Moon in the night on a black Saturday night,we saw stars are falling,and waves are curving while the wind is singing to my ears.and feel that the night is dancing,while music playing,bodies moving,and girls are sailing,telling me what would life be if your sailing away..
So i met this nice french woman dancing,and saw here standing,looking,staring and ask for my name if i am staying,singing,dancing,playing music by her side and were talking art,music and life smiling,laughing,sharing stories in the sand,playing reggae in the night.and then after a while she gave her number and she said goodbye and glad to meet me in this life and i look into her eyes i see dark clouds in the sky,i feel the pain in her heart for the Sad love stories in her life..


So i tell her that can i hold you for a while and say my last goodnight but i know you got to go cause your ride is waiting so,i hold her in her hand and say please don't let it go coz things are not be the same if i will see you again,coincidence is what they say but meet ups is the only way,like you touch the moving water time will not come back again,because everyday is a new day and sad love stories in your life telling me what would life be if your sailing away..(see you on my next blog..cheers!)

Today is amazing day to discuss painting, my first oil paint in Mauritius title the "Portrait “is a combination of Modernism, Abstract, Impressionism, symbolism and before i reach to this medium i started as an impressionist painter 15 years ago at the age of 14 when my father died due to complications of kidney infection and diabetic i pity myself because i was the black sheep of the family i never listen to him and do my own thing and when he passed away i expressed it to my painting as impressionist, me and my artist friend love to go to the forest at dawn and wait for the sunrise to come and paint what we see and express our emotions, sadness, emptiness and loneliness through our brush and paint and grab a cup of coffee and brandy at the side we also bring our music instruments while waiting for the sunrise, nature is a great escape for loneliness. and as I explore more on reading& study in the great artist of the world such as Vincent Vangogh, Paul Gaughan, Picasso, Monet, and other great painters i began to understand the real meaning of art. every artist has its own way to express themselves and the creativity of painting that the Dslr Cameras cannot done it, photography is a different Art that captures time and memories but painting is more deeper than photographs as i understand but i cannot argue with the photographers that cannot paint "peace" =).
Anyway I began experimenting the 4 mediums of Art as i mention above to combine into one at first need to consider the rules of art according to the book, the light and shade, the colors, etc... But for me art has no boundaries, no limitations, you can express your deeper thoughts, ideas and creativity on it and its Timeless..I have my first painting here in Mauritius title "Portrait “and Post it and an Art critic Comments this way:
From Art Critics-your use of vivid colors to depict sadness and separation is so refreshing because we are so accustomed to seeing gray or black or blankness to represent loneliness...but you use live colors to represent it...that's plain genius..., but the color variations and opposition you use is so pleasing to the eye...I can even detect the differences between the hues even the minor ones...and the image is disturbingly beautiful...there is calmness, serenity, surrender but also longing, hope, desperation, and there is this love...a love so deep, so pure that is waiting to exhale...My Second Painting I made in Mauritius titled "No Man is an Island" Art critics says:
the brush strokes are not fine and continues which indicate the passion and the periodic strong emotions of the painter...the painter wants to convey a strong message, a strong feeling so that the viewers could experience a strong reaction...the use of vibrant and yet basic colors indicate the basic human emotions of the painter...i can see anger yet overlapped by serenity, chaos yet embraced by simplicity, confusion yet overwhelmed by clarity of purpose...yes the painting evokes negativity but the negativity is overpowered by the positive message/emotion and that what makes this painting so good because it evokes the basic human emotions, the good and the bad but the goodness always comes into the surface leaving you with relief and calmness...the use of the natural/earthly features like mountains and sun indicates the high expectation of the painter in life but he also contrasts that with the reflecting water...which means the painter is a realist, he has high expectations but reflective of the reality...and as the painting says: there is no such thing as picture perfect in life..the transcendence of everything must happen so that we can achieve our utmost goal of living a balance in life..by Art Critics


the reverse side of the painting is title "the Woman" waiting for her man at her window pane even when it rains.......
So i guess that my painting is not in vain there are Artist that understand and appreciate the Art that i made, I am now living in Mauritius away from Home working as a professional an Expat and exploring the Island at the same time exploring Art & Music, my old man always told me you can work with pleasure...(my next blog will be about Music in Mauritius..Cheers!
Life is strange,got back on my flat walking through the rain i took my coffee to the window pane.I open the door and said i feel strange today old broken house is on my sight i see,old man on the roof top waiting for the rain to stop raindrops are falling riding with the wind,so i been sitting, thinking,waiting for the song to play but it goes this way i feel strange today...
this is the part of my song title life is strange i made in Mauritius the story conveys a Love on his sweet sixteen and called it first love as what they say or "puppy love" and the boy left the City when the girl told him to be his one friend left and that broke his heart and go astray.and it becomes strange when they met after 15 years had passed on a far away land millions miles away from home and then she told him that we are more than friends a long time ago but to meet you twice is a strange to say..And the time in a bottle that's what i remember when i first saw her standing at my door.then she tell me that she need to go on a two way mistake being right from wrong,and i ask her have you really trust the guy that make you fall in love from being love and let love,he broke her heart and she said goodbye on a different direction but she dont know why....and it is Strange..
Making music is like a painting that every side there is a story behind and the message must be learned and understand and show it to the world...

I am Onyx an Artist I do oil paint,as a musician i compose music with my guitar,and hook in the photography world which you can photographs memories that would last.this is my first blog for my Adventures right now just pack my bags on a journey far from home on a Tuesday afternoon,to the new work that i have known in the Island far away from home,the island called Mauritius where they called paradise Island.
this is my six countries that i visited i been to Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore,Hong kong, Shenzhen china, as a tourist but Now going to Mauritius and work there as an expat and live there for two years is a great Adventure for me as an Artist..
I am Standing at the airport, feeling alone because i am leaving home out of my comfort zone got to travel wise and be strong,but there is no place like home,but we need to Explore to Discover and You got to sacrifice to gain and learn how to face your fears,learn to cry when your lonely and smile when your happy.A man must do what he got to do,and face reality one by one because as an artist we dream a lot and forget to face reality..its best to dream just don't forget the real world.it is easy to said and done and sometimes we make wrong things and need to make it right.
for months have passed leaving alone on a Sunday afternoon with my guitar and making a song but life goes on as the night comes along,i miss my baby at my hometown to be there by her side,to hug here and kiss her,but nobody's home..(Adventures here i Come...my journey will continue at my next blog)
