Meditation on meaning and purpose

For the past year or so I have been working on a series of paintings which I have referred to as “meditations”. These artworks are inspired by events from my past or from places that I remember or philosophical construct that I am contemplating at the time. This painting is a meditation on the theme of inner meaning and life’s purpose. One of the strongest feelings we desire to express is that of belonging to or serving something that we believe to be bigger than the self. This connection makes us happy. Each of us will share this important part of our life in our own special way from the work we do, to the passions we engage in or through the people we love. The important thing to recognise and the message of this painting, is that our wellbeing is enhanced when we pursue a life that has meaning and purpose.
