"Two Sisters in Blue" is a digital painting, hand-drawn in Procreate, that embodies the power of unity amidst opposites. Two figures, perhaps sisters, are harmoniously intertwined despite their subtle differences. The composition exudes a serene yet powerful atmosphere, with flowing lines and symbolic details alluding to connectedness amidst divisions.
The deep shades of blue evoke a sense of introspection and calm, while the golden accents add a spiritual dimension, as a reminder of the intrinsic value of harmony. The contrasts in colour and shape symbolise the duality of life-menacing differences, personal beliefs and societal divides-but the soft, dreamy execution shows that differences do not necessarily have to lead to separation.
This work, created entirely by hand at Procreate, is inspired by the polarisation felt worldwide, stemming from politics, pandemics and ideological clashes. Yet the painting radiates a hopeful message: despite contrasts, unity is always possible.
