Face The Dragon That Burned You

60 x 84.5 cm / 23.6‘‘ x 33.3‘‘ inches  -  Ink, and Acrylic on Watercolour Paper

The name of this painting was inspired by a lecture of Jordan Peterson. It truly helped me faceing what I tried to run away from for too long. So while creating this piece within a week waves of panic and feeling and crying, I finally faced the dragon that burned me, walked through the fire thrown my way from within and without. It is important to let it out in the most healthy way possible. So I still stuck to my new created changes of activities that were healthy. I ran and my heart opened. I faced the dragon and said goodbye. I cried but spend the day with friends anyway. I feared but wrote it all on this piece. I lost control of my emotions but created art with it. I felt like being murdered but awoke my strength of love while stepping towards the shadows that tried to hunt me. I thought I got broken but I was actually made new. A lot of “I” but still it is my story with God. Saved by Jesus on a clear sky night full of stars, next to a chapel in the village I lived in.
“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” - Ezekiel 36:26-27

Due to personal reasons it is not possible to see this artwork in full. The texts written on it are very personal and dear to my journey of growth in this life and therefore blurred out. Please take this artwork as an inspiration in hard moments. In moments when you think there is too much crashing down on you. In these moments hold on to the things you KNOW are good for you. May it be sports, cooking, drawing, music, dancing, gardening, play, writing or communicating. Let is all out and create something true.
