About the artwork

This painting is my take on the delicate harmony between the human spirit and the natural world. I captured this through the portrait of a woman whose gaze radiates both strength and wonder. Around her are three key symbols that show how everything is connected.
The bird, light and ethereal, hovers close to her and symbolises the limitless freedom of thought and striving. It shows how the mind wants to free itself from what limits it and connects earth and sky, reality and dreams.
The elephant, on the other hand, represents a different kind of strength and wisdom, as well as a deep connection to the earth. Its presence reminds us of the enduring strength we can draw from when we are firmly connected to the natural world. The elephant's quiet, steadfast presence reflects our own ability to endure life's challenges and grow.
There are also small, intricate flowers around her, each delicate but resilient. They represent the delicate beauty of life and its connection to nature, and encourage us to cherish and respect this balance.
Together, these symbols form a portrait that aims to inspire - a call to viewers to reconnect with the world around us, to find strength in wisdom, freedom in spirit and awe in the subtle beauty of life. This painting reflects and reminds us of what connects us to the natural world.
