Even though this series is in its very beginning, I decided to present these works in their own category, because they are a part of a larger thought. This is another idea that lived with me for a long time before I had enough time to give it a body. I like the shamanic concept of Power Animals and this series is my way of getting to know the animals with which I have a connection. Each animal has a particular way of movement about it and I like “tuning” into them when I need to remember how it feels to move that way.
I find it so much more interesting, instead of telling myself in the middle of uncertain or panicked days: “calm down, take a larger view of things”, to allow a part of my psyche to become a Whale, for example, and descend into the depths of the ocean and become big and feel the silent flow, invisible on the surface.
Drawing animals is always a great experience. They do not pose for you and you have to become so good at capturing their gesture quickly, which teaches you to go for the essence of things.Please click on a thumbnail to see the large image.
