Dragonfly Flit Tropical Haze

Dragonflies are one of my enduring motifs that I am driven to paint regularly. They have always intrigued me with their aerobatic displays, their beauty and their entire life cycle.
They are however more than just a pretty, flitting creature and to many they spiritually symbolize transformation, change and adaptability, representing the journey from one stage of life to another. These stages are often linked to self-realization and overcoming illusions, but also to personal challenges say in the health sphere or the passing of a loved one. They are seen as messengers between the physical and spiritual realms, carrying messages of hope, joy, and prosperity. Their agile flight and connection to water and light also connect them to emotions, the present moment, and a deeper understanding of life's complexities.

These dragonflies brought alive with impasto and tipped with warm gold are flitting on a vibrant turquoise green and blue hazy background splashed with warm gold and bronze flashes.
