acrylic paint on three canvas panels (together 135×90 cm)
…
…. this … I would probably not consider finished IF not for having gotten (lol) some courage to do so thanks to having seen the “Paths to Abstraction” exhibition at the Gallery of NSW last week ……
… this is an impression of a feeling of happiness and oneness, which I so often experienced through my life in connection to this HERE place …. it seems that since my childhood my life always returns to this place … I have my only happy childhood memories of “a family” connected to this place … and memories of “knowing freedom” despite all kinds of oppression ( and I DO mean ALL kinds … ) … and yes … I have been there last year again – for three days – during the Spring, just before all becomes green …
… the feel of this place is very feminine and that of healing and overcoming all which is trying to suppress ‘the feminine’ …. the main point for all who come here (no matter the religious views or lack of them) has always been the “miraculous” water spring …. and yes …I personally find it miraculous that there is a place (and many places elsewhere – I am sure) where one can go and return from there “refreshed” in all ways ….
