Kingdom of Bees
Over het werk
This painting, titled "Kingdom of Bees," presents a vibrant, symbolic portrayal of nature’s industrious guardians. At the heart of a large, richly colored flower, a formation resembling a honeycomb sits proudly, surrounded by pollen gathered by the bees. Two cells of the honeycomb drip with golden honey, symbolizing abundance and the fruits of labor, while the rest remain intact, suggesting preservation and balance within the hive. A vigilant bee perches atop this honeycomb structure, gazing directly at the viewer, as if questioning your intentions—a symbolic guardian, asking if you come with respect for their sacred kingdom. The painting invites reflection on themes of stewardship, harmony with nature, and the delicate balance within ecosystems.
