Cor Ignis Impellit Semitam Animae - The Heart of Fire Drives the Path of the Soul⁣

35x45
Acrylic on canvas

This is by far the most ambitious painting I’ve ever created. The concept, the size, the elements all were very complex and required a ton of focus, trust, and patience. I feel like I began this painting as one person and have developed into a completely new version of myself by the end. I’ve learned so much.⁣

The painting itself is an allegory of my life over the past 8 years. Through my own healing journey and spiritual development, I have learned that my life is meant to be directed by the interplay of my heart and soul, not my ego mind. My soul is the one who knows where I need and want to go in life, and my heart is the fuel to get it there. The role of my mind is not to direct, but to identify and reprogram any limiting beliefs that get in the way of my heart and soul directing my life’s path. As I go along this journey, I find myself rising above the dense energy of everyday “reality.” ⁣

This time I have spent at @chateau_orquevaux has been pivotal in this ascension. I feel a gust of support, of love, of faith that I could not have gotten anywhere else. My heart is full of fire and my soul is even lighter, and I can’t wait to see where the breath of inspiration takes me next.⁣⁣
