This painting is close to my heart, but it is also meant to be seen as something bigger than just me. It is about our connection with nature and how we are all part of it. The main character is a woman who looks you in the eye, her calm and steady gaze encouraging you to think quietly for a moment. Her expression is calm and confident, as if she can see beyond the surface and connect with people on a deeper level.
The painting also shows beautiful birds , symbolising freedom, transcendence and the lightness of the soul. They look so graceful that it suggests liberation - a gentle nudge to rise above the burdens of life and find perspective. Alongside these bird-like messengers are beautiful plants, with their leaves and stems reaching out in a quiet, determined way. They represent growth, renewal and our connection to the earth beneath our feet.
The combination of these elements creates a sense of harmony and timelessness. It is as if the woman exists both in this moment and forever, connecting the subtle energies of humanity and nature. My goal was to capture this interaction, to remind us that strength is found in silence, and wonder blooms when we pause to notice the beauty around us.
