A painting can tell a story by capturing a single moment from a larger narrative, symbols, characters and to imply what happened before and what will happen next.
A painting can be narrative art, historical, mythological, religious and fictional.
At one glance one may not know why I painted this painting π€. In fact many people ponder and wonder what's this painting is all about?!? So, let me tell you the story of this painting
It is a painting of me, myself, my birthday and my bazi.
1) Buddha is looking at me, bestowing me with peace, wisdom and enlightenment as I share the same birthday with Buddha.
2) A dragon π from the sky is looking straight at and almost touching the little girl (obviously it's me) as the day I was born was a Dragon Day. This mystical creature in Chinese zodiac is considered a highly auspicious sign, symbolizing power, strength and good fortune.
3) Hidden somewhere in the painting is a small little dragon π as I was born in the Dragon Hour. People born in the Dragon Hour are seen as confident, charismatic, ambitious and with a drive for success.
I submitted this painting to Milan Art Institute for my mastery graduation π piece and also to the IYCEA (International Youth and Children's Education Association) 2024 International Art Competition where I won Champion π in the open category theme : Grateful Blessings.
This is my most favourite painting as it induce a sense of calmness and peacefulness every time I look at it. It helps quiet the mind too.π§π»ββοΈ
