2023

About the Item

"‘Journey to the Inner Abode’ is a reflective acrylic and oil pastel painting that invites viewers on a metaphorical voyage to the core of their being, represented here by a woman carrying a house – the quintessential symbol of home. Accompanied by a loyal dog, symbolizing trust and fidelity, they traverse a path to their dwelling, signifying the timeless quest for self and belonging. This piece echoes the philosophical teachings that one's true home is within oneself, a sanctuary of the spirit. Drawing inspiration from the symbols of Kyivan Rus and Christianity, the artwork weaves a tapestry of cultural narratives with the Kolovrat, the Slavic symbol of the sun and eternal life, radiating in the background. The Tree of Life, laden with apples, stands tall – a testament to familial lineage and the nurturing of life that women traditionally embody. The earth itself is adorned with flowers depicted in graphic technique, each bloom a rooted footprint on this shared journey. The stylistic influence of Ana Mendieta can be felt in the intimate connection between human form and landscape, while the vivid yet serene color palette nods to the optimistic expressionism of Matisse. With light tones that symbolize hope and a better tomorrow, 'Journey to the Inner Abode' is not just a painting but a philosophical exploration of identity, home, and the paths we tread in search of our personal haven. It encourages a contemplation of our inner selves as the ultimate destination where one can find solace and meaning." This piece serves as a visual allegory that encompasses the artist's exploration of self-identification and the deep-rooted connection to one’s lineage and the spiritual journey towards understanding and peace.
