Anima (2023)

22”x28”

Acrylic & Oil On Canvas

Within this piece, I embark on a journey of remembrance and the rekindling of ancestral connections, as well as a rekindling with our true inner self. By weaving tribal symbols into the piece, I delve into the exploration of indigenous heritage. Simultaneously, a delicate interplay unfolds with the concept of Anima, representing the inner feminine aspect of a man's personality. In the context of Western society, it often becomes the focal point of his search for connection with a woman, serving as a conduit to a higher power. Yet, this transcendental connection can also be achieved by tapping into one's own soul. Within this dual narrative, the artwork becomes a vessel for contemplation on the intersections of cultural roots, self-discovery, and the delicate dance between the inner and outer realms of existence.
