I like the faces in the wings
Acrylic Painting on home stretched canvas finished dimension is 48"x32"
Please notice the drama masks contained in the wings. They represent the duality of nature. The happy mask on the bat wing represents our negative self image, things that are dark etc. Sad mask representing the other extreme of our own self image as well as things that are fluffy and nice.
The hand grasping at his reflection in the blood Represents our focus on self and not the big picture.
The hand clutching his forehead in anguish is meant to portray "with much knowledge comes much pain".
Rays represent our connection with God. Falling on his back to show this relationship is there wether we know it or not.
I had no model or idea when I began this painting. It was as if the canvas seized me and this is what came out. That is why I refer to myself as the brush in Gods hand. It is being swept away in the creation that I enjoy the most about my artwork. (5 years and 3637 days ago)
Martisor is a welcome celebration offered to the spring season on 1st March. The people of Romania and Moldova celebrate the rebirth of life after the hard winter. On this day, men offer to their beloved women flowers and Martisoare (the symbol of serenity and happiness).
Literally Martisor means little March: a small trinket pinned on the lapel by which winter is parted and spring is welcomed.
Martisor is actually a talisman object consisting of a small decoration tied to a white and red string, symbolizing the coming of spring. The gift is given so that the one who wears it will be healthy and powerful for the year to come.
There are a few legends that explain this beautiful tradition...but about this....next time.... (5 years and 3639 days ago)
