Dionysus Beauty @ Tumblr
I've become a bit obsessed with art lately thanks to Pinterest and Tumblr. Sites like these make finding art accessible and easy, it's all at your fingertips. I started a Tumblr blog to collect all of my favorite pieces in one place. I have a Pinterest board as well with a smaller set of favorites. What I love about these two sites is that I have been introduced to so many different kinds of artists I might have never found otherwise. I have always loved art, it expresses what I cannot say in words and it makes me think, and oh how I love to ponder.
The title "Dionysus in Flux" came about because Dionysus is my pseudonym, it’s where my name originally comes from. Dionysus was most commonly known as the Greek God of wine and agriculture, the God of the grape harvest. He was also called the liberator, and represented freeing oneself, often through wine and artistic expression.
Dionysus Beauty is a name I came up with when I was writing a beauty blog. It means to be a natural beauty and to liberate yourself from society’s standards. Anyone who is inspiring, empowered, educated, and strong. Those who embrace their beauty.
Dionysus in Flux represents the elements mentioned above. Sometimes an explosion of emotion, color, or introspective at other times and solemn. This is what the inside of my mind and heart looks like on any given day, depending on my mood. Images that represent different aspects of me. It’s an evolution of self as I transform and transition from one stage of life to the next. My blog is a visual representation of my reaction to life and observations.
I appreciate art, and beauty in all it’s many varied forms, and anything clever or eloquent. I am a lover of words and images that evoke emotion, they speak to me.
State of flux - a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action.
Flux: continuous change, passage, movement, or flow.
Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
"All is flux, nothing stays still." -Heraclitus of Ephesus
