Background and inspirations:

Totems

I was thinking about this project for some time. I wanted to create the representation of us – living beings. The representation of our values, thoughts and feelings. I thought about totems and cave paintings, about the shaman from Lascaux cave, and his spirit guide – bird – sitting nearby. Furthermore, I decided to divide the painting in three pieces: mind, heart and guts. Those three parts of our body that are trying to recognize our situation in the world, that are whispering some advices to us.
