Well, for over 23 years, I have never had a “real” studio. You know a place that is only for creative materials “art stuff”. It is filled with painting materials and setup in a manner that is always ready for work. I have always worked and created in my bedroom, which I call, “bedroom studio”. Painting has always come with a mix of feelings like passion, love, and dedication. When painting I am always in deep thought I call it a meditative approach, which is my natural state. I am always thoughtful and intentional with my words and my art. I find myself in this meditative state time and time again as I make love to my passion. I thought it would be very interesting to show all the techniques that I have used over the years through this very special series “MAKING LOVE TO MY PASSION”.

Making Love To My Passion
This latest series by Nii is entitled Making Love to My Passion. He explores concepts like passion, lovemaking, beauty, and entanglements. We all have a passion or multiple passions, but some people don’t realize what they are passionate about. You must reach a heightened sense of awareness and realization to unlock your passion, and only then will you have a different approach to life.

Making love to one’s passion is a threesome of sorts. As an artist I am torn between the mundane tasks of everyday life, passions that you are aware of, and the passions that are to come. Nii is fully entangled with his gift. We often limit ourselves to lovemaking in the context of physical intimacy, yet this exploration is far more expansive. His Entanglement with art, lovemaking and the faces we see is evident. The connection that he has with his work does not end when the work is completed, but continues with every glance received by an art enthusiast
or onlookers. Even when it’s done there’s still intimacy that occurs.

The intimacy that I have with my work, with the viewers of my work, my paint, my brushes and all of the conveyed concepts is an entanglement as I make love to and through my passion.

What are the passions that you find yourself making love to?
