SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
This painting is an intuitive project that grew over many months. A woman is curled in the foetal position, hiding from the world, protected and safe like a baby, gestating in the mind. There is sadness and loss here too. She is surrounded by power creatures, archetypes that help to protect her: seahorses are the only species in which it is the male who gestates and births the young. The male has a pouch into which the female transfers her eggs which are then fertilized and carried to term. For the ancient Greeks and Romans, the seahorse was a symbol of strength and power. They also believed that seahorses ferried the souls of dead sailors to the underworld. The golden eagle has long been thought of as a bridge between the human world and the gods, since it can fly higher than other birds. It also brings the message of renewed life.
The sides are painted dark green. Ready to hang. Canvas is sprayed with protective UV coating.
Also available as paper or canvas prints.
