WoMan is the Measure of all Things - original abstract oil painting
A mysterious hare, an ancient goddess and a celebration of the feminine spirit.
Sometimes the smallest encounters with nature open the door to an entirely new world.
WoMan is the Measure of All Things is a large original abstract oil painting inspired by a hare I encountered while walking one evening. That fleeting moment became the starting point for a journey into colour, intuition, mythology and the mysterious connections between humanity and the natural world.
In ancient Celtic folklore, the hare was closely associated with the moon goddess, femininity, fertility and the cycles of life. A creature of the twilight, it inhabited the mysterious space between day and night, the familiar and the unknown. The hare became a symbol of transformation, renewal and the endless possibilities of creation.
These ideas resonate deeply with my own artistic practice. I believe that nature is alive, that we are part of a greater living whole, and that art can reveal something of the mystery beyond what our physical eyes perceive.
When I begin an abstract painting, I rarely know where it will lead. I start with a feeling, an intuition, something that comes from deep within. Through layers of colour, movement and form, I search for balance, allowing the painting to develop its own character and inner life.
WoMan is the Measure of All Things emerged through this process. What began with a hare became a celebration of feminine energy, the creative power of nature and the mysterious forces that connect us to the world around us.
With its vibrant colours, expressive forms and generous scale, this one-of-a-kind artwork creates a powerful presence in a room. It invites you to look more closely, to discover your own stories and to find something new each time you return to it.
A painting about womanhood, nature and the extraordinary possibilities hidden within the ordinary world.
