The golds and silvers look so nice on the black background. And I wonder what the grebe and the mink represent.

Thank you very much! When I was thinking about the concept, I wanted to express some characteristics/archetypes which I found essential in all levels of our beings - when we are in our daily lives as well as when we feel more focused on our inner world. In the end came these two - the mink symbolises balance between physical and spiritual aspects of ourselves and it has the both - playful characteristic (which represents joy in life) and protective side too. While the grebe represents care and honour.

I love it! What is the significance of the changes to her legs? Is she being freed from bonds? Wonderful work!Β

Yolte In reply to IvanVladik [2017-03-10 12:23:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! That's a bit tricky thing - when I use these bonds and tattoos for my characters they symbolise features of the soul, which might become less visible when we are in our daily lives, when we are perceived more like human beings than souls (although these two aspects are connected). And in this drawing it's a depiction of how I feelΒ we change when we go through different levels of ourselves and what we can reveal about ourselves. I hope I managed to make some sense. But I really like your idea about being freed, it makes me to perceive my drawing from different angle, and gives a fresh look at it!

That does make sense. I think your work is more sophisticated than mine. My meanings and messages are usually pretty straight forward and I work mostly from instinct. I find myself even more drawn to your work now. Hugs!

I'm very glad! I think directness in artworks is a great aspect - that gives a clear base for the idea to think about and look for the answers (I sometimes have a feeling that my drawings are too vague). Your artworks are truly great, I'm always happy seeing them

Thank you so much! The grebe was a fun part, because the eye looked a bit creepy and distracting even after several layers (what I expected drawing a red-eyed bird).

This is like the process o metamorphosis when I first view it, likr taking a wonderful, safe journey within and going in the right direction and it's like an endless discovery of the self. The road could be the path that leads on
Truly a beautiful and meaningful work Yolte. I can resonate with this painting though for each, the experiences varies .

^^ I believe you'll will just keep on improving cos there is strength in all your works you really do have what it takes, so just keep it up
Some of the new works are finally done or are already finishing, so I'll put them up soon (amidst numerous crashes and lagging).
However, seeing your works does give me the motivation to keep on painting them. Thank you Yolte for showing your beautiful creation

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I'm so glad you like the drawing and your description is gorgeous - I hoped that the drawing will give the feeling of the process of introspection and discoveries of ourselves.
It makes me so happy you have these associations while looking at the picture!
