Artist Statement

I love to take create many expresiones of art, from paintings, body paint, movement and art video creation. This painting has meant so much to me, this year has been a year of Spiritual Warfare and creating has been my way of expressing my perspective of the world today.

It’s been long known that there exists upper powers who control and manipulate the rest of the masses drawing the strings up and down like puppets in a play.

This painting reveals many powerful revelations. It’s about a fight. A fight between Good and Evil forces. We are currently experiencing a Spiritual Warfare. On earth we are being controlled and lied to, however if we look within and connect with our heart and inner power we become closer to Source and awaken to the truth of who we actually are. We are light beings, all connected and a part of God.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

How it fits into contest

In this video of the creation of my painting, I depict the spiritual world and the battle on earth. The angel on the left represents the year of Aquarius, love and healing. The angel on the right is the Archangel Michael and he is looking down on the matrix control and is wearing the armor of god. “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” - Ephesians 11. The top right of the painting has another angel pouring water onto the awakening people. The awakening people are flying towards the eye of god which also symbolizes spiritual awakenings.

This art video/painting represents our inner power and the war against dark and light. We must wear our armor and not go down with the sinking ship.
