Flame Bilyue, an artist known for captivating, sculpted paper artwork and evocative paintings, invites the community to "Illuminating the Path," a solo exhibit exploring the symbolic power of light and her personal journey of purpose. This exhibit will be on display at C’ville Arts from August 2nd through September 4th, with an opening reception on August 2nd from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for the Historic Downtown Mall’s First Friday event.
"The flaming chalice has long captivated me," says Flame, "for me, it represents a powerful symbol of passion and purpose." This symbol resonates deeply with the artist's life story. Born early and quickly, with an intensity her mother likened to "a fireball," Flame's name became a guiding force. "It constantly reminds me to ask myself, how can I be of service in this world?" she explains.
Flame's artistic journey is deeply influenced by her core values. She strives to carry the warmth of human connection and the light of truth within her. This manifests in a strong belief in the inherent goodness of others. Flame finds herself compelled to extend trust and see the light within people, even amidst conflict and difficulty. This introspective approach extends to her creative process. While creating art, Flame contemplates how each piece might inspire her audience. In this series, she explores light in all its aspects – as an accent, a focal point, and a beautiful illuminator in all our lives.
Flame hopes “Illuminating the Path" will be a visually stunning and thought-provoking experience. Visitors can expect an array of captivating artworks that ignite conversation, inspire reflection, and illuminate the potential for light within each of us.
