Calita Munro

Artist bio

My name is Calita Munro, and ever since I remember I have been creating, painting and making, along side my sisters and artistic parents. After marrying my husband, Reuben Munro, we decided to go off to study a Bachelor of Visual Art and Design at EIT Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, this is where I was introduced to digital arts, and working with adobe software. Through this degree we developed our Interior Design business, named after our first born daughter Ember-Ruby, who is now in heaven with Jesus. Reuben and I are blessed to be able to work from home, while Reuben is running our design business, 'Ember-Ruby Design' full time. I am working part time, whilst learning and creating, with our 3 beautiful gems; Emerald-violet 4, Onyx-Green 3, and our new addition Garnet-Bronze.

Artist Statement

I have created this digital art piece, using a range of brush tools in Adobe Photoshop, the canvas is 3:2, and the resolution is 6000 x 4000 Pixels (24 MP).

The concept behind my art is to emphasise the adverse affects of fear, doubt, and anxiety that invade our mind. I have found out firsthand, how negative obsessive thoughts not only affect your day but also alter your awareness, perception, and certainty. I am discovering that believing in the truth is paramount to living a life of peace.

How it fits into contest

The opposing wings symbolises the spiritual battle of the mind, caused by intense duality. The images are intended to inspire the truth, and the importance of establishing new thoughts and actions, that contradict the lies that we can believe.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
