80x80cm oil over mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas
This painting tells the story of how we come to know what is real - not by chasing light, but by turning toward the dark with courage and compassion.
It is about the holy work of facing our inner demons - not to banish them, but to listen. To learn. To offer them a seat at the fire.
Through the alchemy of presence and acceptance, what once seemed monstrous becomes meaningful. What we feared becomes our strength. And the parts of us we once rejected return as powerful allies, bearing gifts of depth, discernment, and clarity.
This is the journey of integration - where shadow is not the enemy, but the gatekeeper of truth.
And in making peace with the darkness, we begin to see clearly. We awaken to our own reality - raw, luminous, and whole.
This series journeys along with you through the veiled terrain of the psyche where fear, longing, and revelation meet. A sacred encounter with an aspect of the shadow — not to conquer it, but to recognize it as a gatekeeper to wholeness. Witness your own inner pilgrimage, where the divine hides not in perfection, but in the luminous folds of Life.
When a collector resonates with one of my paintings, they are not just acquiring art - they are receiving a portal.
A threshold keeper of their own.
A visual initiation into silence, courage, and presence.
Because the piece is not painted for the wall - it’s painted for the soul standing in front of it.
