What do you see in this painting? This painting, like all my pieces, has some obvious meanings and other hidden clues to let the viewer become aware of emotions, thoughts, ideas and lead them to search within themselves. I love listening to your interpretations, many times I get messages about what my work makes you feel or what you think it is about and I am fascinated to be able to witness the power of art. How it opens different universes through different people. During my visit to the @metmuseum , I became passionate about Egyptian culture and religion and realized that the only thing I knew were stories of aliens, so I started studying. This piece is 1/3 . The name hasn't arrived yet, I'm giving it space, time. People refer to the God Ra (one of the most important Egyptians gods), through the Egyptian Scarab Beetle. 🪲 It's a symbol of protection against disease and death. It's also interpreted as a symbol of resurrection. You know (maybe you don't 🤔 lol) that I love gold. And a lot of my art has gold foil, and it always represents connection to the Divine; sacredness. So this is a very personal interpretation of Strength. Spot the 90's kid item 😂 on it too. And if you wish, share with me your interpretation on this piece. I would LOVE to read it. 🪲 All my love to you 🙂 #ishaniArt #TheArtsyMonk #pdxartist #portrait #egypt #beetle #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #90sfashion #oilpainting #figurative #abstractpainting (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJnDdWSV1U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
