Guardian

Guardian is a sepia-toned oil painting on a canvas stained with coffee, rendered in umber and sienna pigments. The palette operates as a monochromatic mantra, drawing viewers into gentle, reflective space.

Hand-painted text across the image reads:

“My journey is to gather and reflect on this precious life and come to a place of clarity. To continue on this path of spiritual exploration with my guardian animal at my side and move forward to the horizon.”

The horse appears not just as a figure, but as a guardian animal-a spiritual companion guiding a journey toward clarity and the horizon. In many traditions, horses symbolize inner strength, vitality, perseverance, and spiritual guidance-qualities woven deeply into this piece.
