In the latest piece from Lina's Art, The Wheel of Time, the canvas stretches out in a vast expanse of 48x60 inches, capturing the essence of the Kootenays in British Columbia with the fluidity and vibrance that only acrylics can offer. This painting isn't just a visual journey; it's an answer to the profound inquiry: What does a return to wholeness look like for you?
Embracing Nature's Cycles
First, The Wheel of Time serves as a poignant reminder that wholeness is akin to the natural cycles found in the grandeur of the mountains. Just as the seasons cycle through phases of birth, growth, death, and rebirth, the painting suggests that our own journey towards wholeness is cyclical. We may face the winter of our content, the literal and metaphorical peaks and valleys, but invariably, we come back to a place of renewal, much like the sun's return each morning over the mountain's crest, bathing us in the warm promise of a new day.
The Interplay of Light and Shadow
The stark contrast between the dark, profound depths of the mountain's base and the ethereal light playing across its peaks speaks to the duality within us. Wholeness, this piece seems to say, comes from accepting the full spectrum of our experiences. The light does not exist without the shadow, and it is in the embracing of both, the acknowledgement of our struggles and our triumphs, that we find a complete and unified self.
Harmony in Contrast
Lastly, my painting suggests that wholeness is about harmony. The vibrancy of the cool blues and purples against the warm yellows and reds doesn't create discord but rather a symphonic balance. It is a visual representation of the harmony we seek within ourselves, despite—or perhaps because of—our inner contrasts and contradictions. Just as these colours find balance on the canvas, so too do we find wholeness in the reconciliation of our multifaceted selves.
In The Wheel of Time, Lina's Art does not just depict a scene; it invites viewers to reflect on the essence of wholeness, encouraging an introspective journey through a landscape both wild and serene. It is a testament to the belief that in the vastness of nature, we find the mirror of our own souls, continually turning in the wheel of time towards a state of completion.
