POET : Allum Alluvus

Hey, My name is Allum Alluvus. I like to refer to myself as an abstract expressionist. Honestly I flow where ever I feel a need to flow/ release.

This shows up through poetry, singing, producing music, painting, photography, and creating visuals. I honestly fell in love with how freeing it is to express beyond words, also in the same light how many conversations can be started with what you see? or what you feel?

Especially in my paintings, my art and sharing my art has been a safe space to simply BE for me without any limitations/ caps.

My art is inspired by the freedom to express, the realization on how to transmute life; the transformation of what’s hidden and is brought out to the physical. So many stories being told whether it’s through my voice, song, pen, or paintbrush. Honestly it’s such a powerful tool, meditative.

I think everyone can benefit from once we understand art isn’t bound to a space/image/ a thing per say. It’s evoked, expressed. The amount of healing that can be achieved. It’s like therapy that's accessible to us all.

POEM : AM I?

Curious Sure he is, is there a cure for this?

Lights and shadows faded yellow

Hue darkens my bones favored in my aloneness

Each night I would slip and wonder where my home is

What are you?

As if a color defines who l am?

I am the kind that doesn't mix

Spotted, Dotted, Patched, Splattered, Unmatched, Unhitched

Why does it even matter?

l am art Undefined.

Abstracted to those whose mind that can't seem to find

Expressed tonessingular nodes of sunshine and cold

Jaded in my faded skin as my pigmented face

Loose more melanin, did this make me less black or brown

Because my hands are now white codes ridden

Hidden flows strokes wishing for an end

Underneath My skin glows a soul

Who knows we shine like the rainbow

l am a reminder that I can't be confined nor will I be defined.
