“Sometimes painting is really difficult. Not only are you trying to capture the subject but sometimes you want to represent the emotions you felt whilst studying the subject. It was challenging to portray the peace and calm I felt, standing on the top of Serra de Aboboreira. A Hexahedronical shape kept appearing in my mind’s eye. I later discovered the meaning of this shape:

 

The hexahedron represents the element of earth. Meditating with this shape assists in grounding energy, maintaining focus, removing tension and easing physical stress. It is a symbol of a solid foundation and stability, patience and conscience.”

 

Oil on board.
