MessageThis piece is painted on a canvas board with acrylic paint and acrylic markers to create the intense line connecting shapes. This piece is about will persistence that opens new dimensions and often makes the troubles melt away. It does not matter how tiny we feel; we will persevere as long as our heart is strong. This girl is little, and the world is vast and icy and cold; many beings are watching her quest.
We have to find a way to a great story of our lives with its many dimensions. That’s our job, I feel. The life of an artist often has its testing moments. The will makes new open up.
The painting portrays a captivating scene that symbolizes several elements.
The central figure in the painting is a girl. She represents humanity or an individual who possesses certain qualities or emotions. She holds a torch, which serves as a source of light and illumination. The torch often symbolizes knowledge, hope, guidance, or enlightenment. It represents the girl's aspirations, desires, or the power she holds within herself. The girl's heart is depicted as fire. Fire symbolizes passion, energy, transformation, and even destruction. In this context, it represents the girl's inner strength, her emotions, and her ability to create change or bring warmth and vitality to her surroundings.
The girl faces her icy environment, cold, stagnant, lifeless state or a world devoid of emotions, creativity, and a lack of connection with oneself or others. The frozen landscape holds obstacles, challenges, a state of being trapped. As the fire from the girl's heart rises, it melts the ice world she lives in. This melting process signifies transformation, liberation, and the breaking free from constraints. It represents the power of the girl's passion, emotions, and inner fire to bring about change and thaw the frozen aspects of her life.
Overall, the painting communicates the idea of personal transformation, empowerment, and the ability of human emotions and passions to overcome challenges and bring life and warmth to a seemingly cold and stagnant existence.
