Original artwork description

This work is part of a series on the culture of Armenia and Georgia, countries I have never visited.
A young man crosses the landscape playing his flute. The rhythm of blue and gold follows his music in the figures embroidered on his clothes, in the shadows that cover the mountain valley, in the clouds that descend from the mountains.
Main colours: pink, white, off-white, light blue, green, ochre, light grey, cerulean, azure blue, lagoon blue

In this painting, I delve into the ethereal space between reality and the subconscious. My brushstrokes with acrylic and tempera bring life to a timeless figure—a contemplative shepherd playing flute, in harmonious unity with a gentle sheep. The choice of figurative, surreal, and symbolic elements underlines a metaphysical quest, stirring the soul towards introspection. This artwork is an invitation to embrace serenity and depth, casting an aura of mysticism and tranquility in its surroundings.In this painting, I explored the mystical balance between the earthly and the divine. The wise, old shepherd, floating above a bustling cityscape whilst cradling a lamb, symbolizes guidance and benevolence transcending the chaos below. Using acrylics and tempera, Ive infused the scene with a dreamlike surrealism, playing with light and shadows to evoke a sense of timeless serenity. This artwork invites reflection on the spiritual guardianship inherent in our lives, encouraging a peaceful coexistence with the modern world.
