"The River of Life", 2020, 100x120cm, oil on canvas

Although visually quite different from other works I present here, this painting is part of the same story. It's here to mark the beginning of a new stage.
Every change has three stages: letting go, coming down and moving on.
First stage is focused on things that slow you down and keep you from moving on, things that hold you back.
The second stage is space in between - things that slowed you down gradually dissolve, giving space for something new that will lead you further. The new direction may not be clear yet, but you feel it coming.
The third stage is when the new direction becomes clear and things that were holding you back have no power over you anymore. You have more energy, you are on the right path again.
This painting illustrates the second stage: the space in between, when you leave the place you know to go on the journey towards something you belive it's there.

Inspired by Yirawala, famous Aboriginal leader and painter, whose works were admired by Picasso for great use of composition.
