Description
Oil on canvas. In the great tradition of the end of 19th Century's Symbolists, I wanted to depict a visual allegory that we are all familiar with: Severance. Parting with something or worse, someone we love is always a moment filled with deep emotions that can sometimes linger in your soul for months or years.
But beyond that very human fact of life, I wanted to address a deeper concept, a more global spiritual concept that encompasses all religions yet goes way beyond all of them: Spiritual severance, from our creator, or whoever, whatever source is responsible for our very existence.
Originally, what triggered the theme of this painting was the song of the same name, by the band "Dead Can Dance."
