BOW TO THE DIVINE
2026 / acrylic on canvas / 60x60cm
 
We, humans can get so easily entranced with our own individual stories and the system made us even believe that we are separate from anything outside of our physical bodies. We even separate ourselves from the bodies and most people stay just in the head. What a pressure to localize your whole majestic existence into one single head, thinking it can manage it all. The whole mystery that life is.
 
This painting was made as a reminder to humble ourselves down and bow to the vast divinity that we are a part of. To remember that we are a part of it all the time. Each time we drop the individual story, we can remember it. It is always there and it will never leave us. It is a love story of life. It is the source of true eternal inspiration and direct meaningful creativity.
 
It was also made to honour two distant planets that entered the fire sign of Aries recently - Neptune and Uranus.
The energy of a brave pioneer invites us to trust the unknown and to surf through accelerating changes with devotion. To find the anchor and strength inside of us by realizing that living the mystery is a dance between action and surrender. To stay curious and playful on the way.
 
It started as a simple Moroccan Amazyk/Berber sign of a Free Man called Yaz (also it is official Berber flag) that inspired me on my latest trip to that beautiful land. And then, the painting grew from it and me with it.
