The course of life

canvas, mixed media, 60 * 80 cm, 2021
The work is done in mixed media. I created the background with a brush and acrylic paints. With the help of a palette knife and oil paints, she emphasized the rough texture of the ice floes. The bird is also painted in oil.
The picture is very symbolic and calls for philosophical thoughts. The flight of a bird over floating ice floes symbolizes a person and his life, the ability to look ahead and move without fear of sharp corners and collisions with difficulties.
Everything goes on as usual. Nature is cyclical. Spring is followed by winter, followed by summer and autumn. So in life - everything is impermanent. The birth of a person is accompanied by the growth of his body and the development of his mind, socialization. A person sets goals for himself and goes to them. But often life itself decides for us. The ability to feel the flow of life, follow your intuition, trust the events that come - this is what a person should learn. To be totally in this movement, to feel life for real, to be grateful for what be grateful for what comes. This worldly wisdom comes over the years.
