Here a monk sits near the paintings’ center, meditating? If so, each creature, construction, and even environment can be interpreted as emanating from his consciousness - tying them symbolically to psyche.
The pool is baptismal - chaotic waters and death in Christian myth - a young man floating in it, arm stretched out toward a Shaman in a nod toward Michelangelo’s iconic Sistine Chapel creation of Adam fresco. Baptism symbolizes rebirth. In core Shamanism, soul-retrieval the recalling of vital energy after it’s been split off due to trauma and recalls if from the spiritual ether back to the physical.
The bird hovering above the floating figure alludes to the holy spirit taking the form of a dove above Christ to affirm his divinity during his baptism.
The two shrouded figures could have emerged from the Mausoleum, similar to the attested resurrections when Jesus died. The young girl is sensual, wearing the color of innocence - white - staring into the eyes of a peacock. In Jungian psychology, the peacock represents the fully realized self - when unconscious integrates with conscious. Her wet her suggests she emerged from the pool, purified, clean, and eager for individuation. Peacocks also represent eternal life and spiritual rebith, and their ‘eyes’ on their feathers prompted association with omniscience and the courage to see and be seen clearly.
The panther’s symbology is rich, but coalesces around rebirth (in Christian bestiaries), power, and spiritual guardianship / medicine protector. The benevolence of this panther reinforces that.
A tree with foliage and grass spread from the direction of the Mausoleum, linking the resurrection of humanity with restoration of natural life.
This is an original oil painting on canvas, signed by the artist on the front. It is wired and ready to hang, and sides are white.
The painting will be carefully and professionally packed and shipped within a week upon receipt of payment.
Dimensions (inches): height: 36”, width: 48″, depth: 1 , 3/8″.
