Description Wow, I actually finished my painting in time. It's still not dry, so there are a few reflexes in the wet paint, making it challenging to photograph. But at least it's done


I dream of being one

The thought behind this painting is kind of a long story, but I'll give it a shot:

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with a bowel decease that changed and now occupies large parts of my life, and something strange happened: I started thinking of myself as two separate entities; body and soul. I keep thinking: There's nothing wrong with me, it's my body that has failed me, keeping me prisoner. I really want to do something with my life, but I'm constantly restrained by my body in so many ways I cannot get into.
Consequently, I'm dreaming of getting better, and uniting my body and soul back into cooperating, making life more than just a waste of time. Life is too short and precious to have it any other way.

I love when people tell the stories behind their creations.
I feel it shows deep conections and sensitive thinking.

Excellent work! The background, while blurred, gives the picture eye appeal where it matters most. Even though the two entities are separted, the given smiles of each leave a sense of anticipation in me. When will they reunite? Hehe, maybe in your next piece we'll see!
