TIME TO HARVEST

Acrylic and gold leaf on wooden panel, diameter 24” (61cm), 2022

New artwork from the series Portrait Of Your Highest Self (known as Portrait of Dream).

This painting is a commission for my good friend Julia.

She is very special and has such a personality that lights up everything and everyone around her. So when she asked me to paint her this individual painting/icon I was happy as an artist and as a friend.

Here you see many symbols and all small details are important,  Julia knows why this or why that. Some things are personal and some I can share with you.

So; she is holding golden fans in her hands - these are the magic tools that she loves to dance with and I immediately capture that royal poster of her.

Then you see her clothes as queen which is exactly how I see Julia in my eyes.

Behind her sacred tree is full of berries that are ready to be harvested. 5 Symbolic hands on top of her head represent:

Fire or love

Fire of creativity

Fire of inner life

Fire of inspiration

Fire of passion.

Let me know what else you see and which other symbols I used here?
