David Bowie was one of those rare, extraordinary souls who arrived on Earth before his time. His genius transcended the norms of his era, and it’s almost impossible to imagine how much more he would have thrived in today’s world—a world where individuality and creative brilliance are not just accepted, but celebrated.
In 2020, it seems that the very essence of what once made Bowie and others like him “strange” is now being recognized as the foundation for something greater: a society that embraces the unique, the odd, the genius. It’s this sense of timeless genius that draws me to painting musicians—especially those who, like Bowie, weren’t just famous, but truly gifted.
For many artists, the true path to mastery is losing oneself in the craft, reaching a state where nothing exists but the art itself. Bowie, despite the challenges of substance dependency, exemplified this level of dedication and transformation, ultimately overcoming the darkness and embracing the brilliance of his art.
This painting is based on the movie –The Man who fell to Earth – Starring David Bowie. He wore this kimono between takes. The background was based on some of the graphics for the movie.
He lived his human experience fully—an inspiring example for anyone who believes we are spiritual beings navigating a human journey. In the spirit of Bowie’s evolution, this Amalee Original painting captures the essence of a genius who not only shaped music and culture, but redefined what it means to be truly free in expression. Whether you see him as a visionary ahead of his time, or as a hero who faced his struggles with grace, this piece reflects his enduring influence and legacy.
If you are a Bowie Fan– don’t miss out on this Painting – Ziggy Stardust!
