I'm Very Protective Over You

Acrylic on Canvas

This diptych painting, titled "I'm Very Protective Over You," presents a surreal and allegorical scene. On the left, a vibrant, fierce rooster dominates the foreground, with a small, armored figure riding on its back, a spear held high. A French phrase, "Je suis tres protege avec toi," or "I am very protected with you," is written next to the bird. The right canvas is dominated by an ethereal figure with a serene expression and hair that blends into swirling clouds and floral patterns. A grand, domed palace or temple is visible in the background, creating a striking contrast between the grounded, protective power of the rooster and the dreamy, almost unattainable quality of the figure and her surroundings. A dream I had was the inspiration for this painting. I am either surrounded by goddesses or receiving visits from them, on one such occasion I woke up and started to create this piece.
