Continuing with the COSMOS Project, I'm here sharing with you the sketches for Aquarius.
Of my old and original sketches, Aquarius's was one of my favorites!
But, although I liked this sketch (top left) so much, I felt I needed to make changes...
After all, Aquarius is an Air sign, but it is Fixed.
So I wanted to represent the guy here, as much accommodated on the floor as possible.
But with a light, lively and inviting face, because it is still an Air sign.
In fact, the friendly countenance is a very important characteristic, because Aquarius is a sign that has a great power of communion with others.
It is a sign that knows, considers and cares a lot about the sense of community and society.
And this humanitarianism is here represented by the hands together (as in the shape of a bowl, a hint from the Aquarius jar) that offers nectar for the viewer of this Artwork.
The relaxed and saucy posture, also remind us of that behavioral aspect of Aquarius, of being easily "the questioner", that "subversive friend", sometimes even “eccentric”, who always encourage us to try to “look in a different way“ at things...
And the irony is that, despite being a "fixed" sign, Aquarius (for all the Air it represents) still loves to have space and freedom to be and to experience things in its midst.
Well... and as I have (tried my best) to represent different ethnicities, here for Aquarius, I thought of a Brazilian Boy with all that beautiful mix (of indigenous, with Afro descendants and Caucasians) that, I think, is quite poetic in relation to the sense of diversity that oxygenates in the spirit of Aquarius.
I hope that the sketches of this artwork can Please You
