The story behind this painting is a story I have read in one book while on my travel through India. I liked it very much! Here is the story: "A group of people discover that a poisonous plant is growing in their backyard. They begin to panic, as they recognize that this is very dangerous. So they try to cut down the plant. Another group of people arrive, and, realizing that the plant is dangerous, but that simply cutting it will not be sufficient since its roots remain to sprout anew, they throw hot ash or boiling water over the roots to prevent the plant from ever growing again. The next group of people to appear on the scene are the doctors, and when they see this poison they are not alarmed; on the contrary, they are very pleased, since they have been looking for this particular poison. They know how to transform the poison into medicine rather than destroying it. Finally, a peacock lands, and dances with joy when it sees the poison. It immediately consumes the poisonous plant and turns it into beauty. It is a Tibetan belief that the peacock owes its beauty to the fact that it eats a particular species of poisonous plant. The very nature of the peacock is such that it can actually consume poison, and THRIVES on it; hence it does not have to transform the poison, but eats it directly." Text taken from the book by Dudjom Rinpoche The plant is a symbol for emotional defilements or negativity. Mixed media on canvas, no frame, year 2017 Hand-signed in the front

Sonja Bela was born and raised in Serbia and after her formal undergraduate education she has received her BFA from the Buscharest National University of Fine Arts, Department of Painting. She has had both group and solo exhibitions at galleries in Bucharest, Romania, Pancevo and Belgrade, Serbia. In my work as an artist, I am fascinated by variety of subjective views and the nature of reality since childhood. I like to visually explore possibilities of other viewpoints, perspectives, human potential and its impact on the whole. Inspired by people who manage to influence positive change in other people’s lives, I am dedicated to intuitively inspire inner joy and compassion through beauty, color and playfulness. I have spent many years working and travelling near seas, collecting ideas and inspiration. In addition to my work as an artist, I am a student in yogic and Buddhist traditions, exploring the nature of reality and human mind. My major influences range from American art and artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat to Himalayan and Asian art.
