This work 'Flamingos and poppies' is a digital creation by the artist that combines different elements to convey a message. The poppies symbolise impermanence, the fragility of their existence. They are bright red, but also fragile and ephemeral. They remind us that life is precious and fleeting. The flamingos represent beauty, grace and balance. They are pink due to their diet of shrimp and algae, indicating their adaptability and survival skills. They live in large groups, indicating their social nature and loyalty. They can also stand on one leg, attesting to their stability and harmony.
This work also shows candlelight burning. Candlelight symbolises hope, faith and enlightenment. It is a source of warmth and light in the dark, a sign of presence and comfort. Candlelight can also be used for meditation, prayer or remembrance. It is a way to connect with the higher, spiritual or divine.
Finally, you can also see small references to growth, wisdom, development and self-reflection on this work. The seahorses that seem to float on the flowers are an example of this. Seahorses are unique and fascinating creatures that symbolise patience, kindness and creativity. They can change colour to adapt to their surroundings, indicating their flexibility and intelligence. They are also monogamous and caring, showing their love and devotion. They appear to float on flowers as they cling to plants or corals with their tails, indicating their connection to nature.
This work is thus a rich and complex composition that uses different symbols to tell a story about life, death, love and meaning.
Nice to have you here!
