Guardian: A Folk Art Fusion
Beautiful Wings,
Blue eyes adored.
She protects my joy,
she heals my wounds.
The misplaced air
that’s cradled all around me,
held to navy skies
sheltering my fledgling wings.
My beautiful warrior shows
all the strange aspects of me
and reminds me everyday
of all my happy memories .
My dad’s generous smile,
my mother’s gentle touch
squabbles with my sibling
powers my Patronus.
Expecto patronum!

About this painting:
As the world sheltered in place during the tumultuous days of the COVID pandemic, this artwork emerged over the span of months. The creative process became my Patronus, a guiding light through stressful times. Each stroke of the brush carried the weight of uncertainty and the solace of artistic expression
Within the canvas of this captivating painting unfolds the mesmerizing presence of an owl, my cherished spirit animal. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of folk art, the artwork bursts with a profusion of intricate patterns and motifs, each layer unveiling a story, a symbol, a fragment of wisdom
Adorning the owl's neck is a delicate dreamcatcher, weaving its protective magic. But the focal point lies within the heart of the composition—a yin-yang pattern, resplendent in black and white, embodying the eternal dance of opposites, balance, and harmony. Peacock feathers dangle, a symbol of beauty, grace, and awakening.
The owl's gaze is fixed upon a radiant full moon, a celestial union where the boundaries of reality and dreams blur, forming a perfect circle of mystery and enchantment. The backdrop, painted with whimsical clouds, invites us to journey through the cosmos, where secrets of the universe are whispered in the owl's silent wisdom.
This painting transcends the realms of art, offering a portal to a world of wonder, introspection, and spiritual connection. It's a masterpiece that beckons us to embrace the wisdom of our inner owl and find balance in the dance of life.
