'The Healing' (Close Up 3) - Art on Canvas

About the artwork:
This is a close up detail from the original work 'The Healing' which was created alongside ELINA AURIEL's music EP Land of Thunder — a body of work inspired by the quiet process of finding the way back to oneself after having endured profound loss. 

''For me this rehabilitation process involved heavily communing with the beautiful natural landscapes of Germany.'' — Elina Auriel 

When looking at the painting in a contemplative mind, layers of botanical forms, branches and roots, elemental textures and hidden shapes emerge differently for each viewer. Some discover flowers or forests, others perceive figures, spirits, landscapes or memories. 

There is no single interpretation and that is the point of this artwork: contemplation, meditation, divination, scrying even.

Painted over the course of several weeks using numerous layers of acrylic and hand-mixed colors, this artwork gradually reveals itself.

'The Healing' is meant to be an invitation into a liminal space: between grief and renewal, between the seen and the unseen, between the conscious, subconscious and even superconscious mind. 

Whether approached as meditation, quiet reflection, or simply an abstract work of art, it offers space for answers to emerge from the contents of the deeper layers of your own psyche. 

What stares back at you when you let the painting take you into the liminal spaces of your current unfolding in that moment?
