A very untypical piece for me... Yet painting on this theme was intriguing to me...
⠀
The very same curiosity: what will emerge from under the brush if I paint the dark night of the soul?
⠀
And what manifested was separation and cast-off wings..... Moreover, the barriers are illusory—one can easily step through the bars, the wings are right beside—just reach out, and the blue sky is overhead—you only need to look up. Yet closed eyes, pain, despair, fears, and the refusal to see give birth to this darkness.... And one only has to discard all illusions and look openly around for the situation to change...
⠀
The soul goes through the dark night to cleanse itself of what is obsolete, false, and obstructing its development. It is always a profound spiritual experience that precedes awakening and growth—a bridge from separation to unity... And it depends solely on the person how long this night will last, how long they will hold onto their views, beliefs, separation, Ego...
