The Peacock

The Peacock

Watercolor, gouache and pencil on board,
11×14
2009

Model: Kambriel

One of my latest passions is the symbolism of the peacock, and how it has been associated to immortality and renewal. His feathers were used as talismans and protection against evil spirits. In the Eastern traditions it has been seen as symbols of wisdom, benevolence, compassion and kind-heartedness. The “eye” in the peacock feather is associated to the pineal gland, making of it a sacred symbol. Through the development of the pineal gland one can awake the Kundalini and achieve understanding of the spiritual world.

The Peacock belongs to the following groups:

Fine Art of the Female Form, Spiritual Art, Symbolism in Art, Vibrant and Vivid Color and Water Media (Paintings by hand only) Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
