Original artwork description
Series: Maybe I've Always Been Here
The Waking is an original contemporary painting exploring the feeling of awakening — the moment when something long desired finally becomes real and the world suddenly feels more vivid.
With its strong colour, symbolic imagery and 83 × 100 cm format, The Waking is designed to have a distinctive presence within a contemporary interior and can become a meaningful focal point in a personal art collection.
At the centre of the composition, the Goddess is wrapped in a richly coloured floral blanket. Its generous scale, dense pattern and abundance of flowers make it the most vivid element of the painting, creating an almost tangible sense of warmth and renewed life.
The simplified mountains recede into the background, allowing the central figure and the floral form to hold the viewer's attention. The contrast between the quiet landscape and the intensity of the foreground creates a sense of inner transformation — a moment when what is happening within us becomes more powerful than the world around us.
The painting can be read as an image of awakening, renewal and the return of colour after a long period of stillness. It carries the feeling of emerging from sleep, like the end of winter or the moment when a long-held dream finally comes true.
The Goddess is a recurring archetypal figure in my series Maybe I've Always Been Here, connected with femininity, memory, belonging and the passage of time.
