Picture
God/Father

This painting represents the Masculine spiritual archetype, with images of Jesus, Horus, a Mayan Fire God, Buddha, and Shiva, with other iconic symbols of spiritual masculinity. The Hindu term "Lingam", along with the I'Ching term for "Yang/The Creative", are also expressed, in gold leaf. The central equilateral triangle, pointing upwards, is a symbol of the Shiva Lingam, the Male principle.
    This painting is part of a triad, that together portray a spiritual totality which cannot be defined by one aspect alone. We all have within us both male and female, as is also noted in every other living thing.
