Derak Green Art

Derak Green Art Self taught artist sharing their craft! Artist Statement: Derak K. Green Sr. It is in these moments that I connect most profoundly with my artistry.

As a self-taught artist, my journey into painting began in 2020, although creativity has always been a cornerstone of my life. With a diverse background spanning graphic design, web development, music production, and culinary arts, each discipline has infused my approach to visual art. My latest endeavor, painting, serves as both a sanctuary and a canvas where I channel the vibrancy of life into e

very stroke. I primarily work with acrylics, drawing inspiration from the myriad colors that surround us. My subjects, often intriguing faces, are rendered with a bold use of color that brings a unique vitality and presence to the canvas. These portraits are more than just representations; they are an exploration of emotion and personality, each imbued with its own narrative. Painting offers me a precious respite from the everyday hustle, allowing me two to three hours of pure engagement with my art. This time is not just about creating something beautiful but about nurturing my inner peace and focusing deeply on the act of creation. It is my sincere pleasure to share these creations with you. Each piece invites you into a colorful oasis, a place away from the noise, where you can experience the world through my eyes and perhaps find a moment of tranquility yourself.

Are we ready!!? TODAY at noon we are Cash Mobbing a local business! *(Cash mobbing is a community-driven movement where a group of people coordinates via social media to descend on a local, independent business at a specific time, spending a set amount of money (often around $20 each) to give the business a significant, sudden boost and promote local economies.)
Granby St. Glow Juice Bar and More ( 727 Granby st. Norfolk)is a health-focused juice bar in Norfolk, Virginia's NEON District, offering fresh juices, smoothies, mocktails, and healthy snacks like parfaits, with a focus on holistic wellness and community. It's known for its vibrant, nutrient-rich drinks, personalized service, and educational workshops, with menu items often named after local landmarks, and it provides options for delivery, takeout, and dine-in. They have been having difficulty with the construction around their location and could benefit from a healthy infusion of support! If you can't come in person and wish to still support, message us so we can share a donation link from Glow. See ya at noon!!
