I have painted the painting because I like the way Native Americans lived more than the way we live today, they lived more freely and calm, and I find these people to be good, calm and themselves because of the way they lived, they were living in a teepee in the nature and rode horses, sat and danced around a fire and smoked a peace pipe, they liked a light feather and was spiritual. But they were also people with feelings and there was war between Native American tribes. They were discovered by white people who wanted to determine and exterminate them so they could take over their land and build on it, the indians were not allowed to be here. The Indians were at war with the whites until the Indians had to wave the white flag and surrender, but even though they surrendered, they were still hunted, exterminated and killed. I do not like people who want to rule over others and be evil, which I myself have experienced ever since I was born. The war of the Indians against the whites is in my world a battle over who was the strongest and best, which was a proof that it was not loving people who did it but people who like evil and savagery. The painting is mixed media and abstract on canvas. I have painted an Indian one can glimpse in the middle with long hair and braids holding a feather, as a proof of their goodness and primitive life, it is painted with oil pastel which is scratched in with a knife, to illustrate my pain, a pain I have been inflicted from my childhood of evil family members. The bear claws that scratch the face of the Native American are made because they were treated badly and killed by evil people. Bear paws are painted because they were animals the Indians lived with in the wild. The lines, circles and dots are inspired by tribal art Aboriginal, Native American and African tribal people who in my world live more freely, calm and are themselves which I believe is a better way of life for people instead of a life where everything has to be so perfect. The golden suns have something to do with joy and being happy. I have written in some circles love, fear, sex, stop, good, mind, joy, ?, heart sign and enjoy, all these words and signs are made because it is my frustrations and dreams. I have painted arrows with feathers with oil pastel and scratched in the surface, it is done because I like a lite feather, which i mean are signs of something good, I prefer arrows to guns. I have written some names of Native American tribes that sounds good Mohawk, Pawnee, Shawnee and Sioux. Words like Buffalo, move, moon light, hunt, arrow, drums, tipi and spirit are written because these were somethings the Indians used to survive in nature, which in my world is a sign of freedom.
