oil on panel with lapis lazuli, pyrite 48 x 48"/122 x 122 cm The resonance in the painting is that of the heart chakra, the chakra governing love and relationships, combined with the solar plexus chakra, the chakra where the self control, willpower, identity and other power issues are centered. I have used the gemstones pyrite, a stone of protection against negative forces and lapis lazuli, a stone of spirituality and total awareness. Combined with the vibrational impact of the colour green which connects one to nature, the heart is opened as well as the vibrational impact of the colour yellow of the solar plexus chakra which recalls the everlasting warmth and presence of the sun, create an impactful piece that shifts the viewer's relationship to love and power.
