Post-it masterpiece
Actual date: August 12, 2009
While at Singapore Bistro, Sofia created this brilliant visual tour de force with a ballpoint pen and a couple of extra wide Post-it notes. She has matured as an artist, moving away from her earlier primitive yet viscerally powerful and compelling straight-line strokes to a more accomplished combination of straight lines, circles, squiggly curves, and other impressive techniques.
It’s really fascinating to watch her grow and mature. Simple things such as closing a shape by connecting the end of the shape line to the beginning used to be something completely foreign to her, but now she does it with ease. Circles were a huge mystery before, but now she can render a reasonable facsimile of one. I can see why parents proudly display their kids’ “art” on their fridges. It’s really something to see what new things a child learns how to do from day to day. Hopefully I’ll never be the kind of parent to blindly think that whatever his child does is superlative, but I can see why it happens. Thankfully I don’t have to be on guard about that since everything Sofia does is superlative, and she’s perfect in every way.
