Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

Born of the abstract comes a self portrait. A picture soaked in psychology.
The trickster, in Jungian psychology, is the shadow of the mature masculine archetype "magician".
The magician can be likened to a sage, druid or shaman in ancient cultures, a man in touch with the spirit realm.
The trickster is the lesser form of this figure, a individual whom uses magic, cunning words and charm to get his own way or to remind others if their humanity.

This painting aims to explore the trickster side of all of us and perhaps severs as a reminder to out grow the lesser phase and become mature and truly powerful.
