Each work of art always carries some of our moods and emotions. Carrying out this work brought me clarity about how much I am influenced and I seek to influence the works I paint. The beginning of this year was turbulent for several issues in my personal life, and painting an inner guardian, who brings light, clarity, courage, and power, was the way I found to incorporate these aspects within me, and carry them forward through all year. This is a personal decree, a way I've learned to bring out the inner warrior, who fights in the light, who speaks clearly, and is resolute in his values and mission. That's what I tried to convey in this work. The unfolding of the spiritual gaze is fundamental for inner development, the solar symbol on the guardian's forehead represents the light of awakening of their capacities and spiritual power.
