“Protected by the Force” Painting

Evgeniya Kapatskaya “Protected by the Force”, 2020 Oil on canvas 100 × 70 cm 39.3 × 27.5 in This is a unique work The painting is based on one of my dreams. I'm part of a nomads tribe that travels between worlds. I found them in the ice labyrinth. The labyrinth contains many dangers, filled with monsters and it's hard to get through. Elders of the tribe know the right path. They teach the others including me. In this world, each man has magic stones. The first of the stones is a Soul, which everyone has. The other stones appear through the process of spiritual development and as you become wiser. These stones serve as protection for their owner. But they grew their power if people gather together. It's exactly the moment that I pictured on my canvas. The Force created a dome of protection around the people. Dome does not allow to see, hear, or feel those who are inside.
