Painthing - as you probably realised already its a play on pain+ thing = painthing

The name came to me as I started painting few years ago to deal with some really heavy emotions what i was doing was transmuting/tranforming that pain into a thing into a painting.

Then I realised that just like diamonds need to be under a lot of pressure to be created - in the past colours were made by applying pressure/crushing things like grapes, flowers, crystals (like malachite, lapis lazuli) or they were extracted (like henna is extracted from the henna plant) So essentially through pain(pressure) applied to something (thing) we transmute/ we create something new that can be used to create new colours that we can use to create a new painting ( a new reality for ourselves) And the Henna extraction is the same as when we are in the presence of someone who has the frequency/vibration that we want and we can ‘extract’ it by being in their presence thus we widen the colours in our pallete.
