Isriel Adams The rebirth

acrylic on canvas

205 x 139.5 cm

This work was painted in acrylic on unstretched canvas, laid flat on the floor. It signifies new beginnings, climbing out of the depths of melancholia, regaining strength and letting go of trauma. It is also a celebration of the aesthetic experience of painting and the visionary aspect of art. It conveys spiritual energy and a shamanic quality.
