Man Woman and Shadow Painting

I was helping my daughter in her research on behavioral psychology, came across a passage about Man, woman, and their Archetype. It was remarkably interesting to know and soon my creative juices started working on it. It took a long time to put my thoughts in a picture form. This was the first time I would be working on a large size canvas, which was challenging since I had very little resources to work on my idea. The Anima is the female soul image of a man. The Animus is the male soul image of a woman. Simply it means that a man has some characteristics of a woman like kindness, tenderness, emotion etc. This is not the bad thing to have in a male but in fact it is necessary to understand a woman better. It makes a person complete with one’s Anima/Animus; he/she is a well-balanced human being. Carl Gustav Jung, a great psychoanalyst said, that every human being has some Archetype within oneself. They are the “Shadows”, “Anima”, “Animus” and “Child”. The shadow projects our dark side and we tend to see more in others. We see the shadow everywhere specially in the image of our religion, fear, anxiety, frustration etc. The child Archetype is a pattern related to the hope and promise for a new beginning, the spirit of adventure and curiosity.
