Homecoming

by Maria Arias · Houten, NL

This painting, created with Acrylics on Claybord, depicts a powerful and peaceful lion inside a temple. The temple symbolizes our inner selves, representing introspection—a time for examining our thoughts and feelings, fostering self-awareness and self-compassion. The window behind, with light streaming through, symbolizes the moment of enlightenment. It signifies the instance when we cease dwelling on the past, release worries about the future, and begin embracing the present moment. In the process of discovering our true selves, we find our home.
