This painting is inspired by Walpurgis Night, European festival that celebrates the transition from winter to spring and the clash between pagan and Christian traditions. The figure in the painting is Saint Walpurga, who is revered as a healer and a protector against witchcraft and evil spirits. She is descending from heaven to bless the land and the people, showing her divine grace and power. The hat that she wears is a symbol of her mystical wisdom and her connection to the ancient lore of the land. The hat also resembles a wizard’s cap, suggesting that she has access to both the natural and the supernatural realms. The background of the painting depicts a dark and eerie forest, where the witches and the devils are believed to gather and perform their rituals on Walpurgis Night. The forest is a symbol of the wild and untamed forces of nature, as well as the pagan and pre-Christian beliefs that still linger in the collective memory. The forest is also a symbol of the unknown and the mysterious, as it hides secrets and dangers that are beyond human comprehension. The sky above the forest is painted in deep blues and purples, creating a twilight atmosphere that evokes a sense of magic and mystery. The sky also represents the transition from night to day, from winter to spring, and from death to life. The Saint is looking mysteriously at the viewer with a slight grin, as if she knows something that the viewer does not. She has seen the mysteries of the universe, the secrets of the divine, and the wonders of creation. She has also seen the horrors of evil, the suffering of humanity, and the folly of sin. She has a profound understanding of the balance and harmony of all things, as well as the conflict and tension that exist within and between them. She is inviting the viewer to share in her vision, to see beyond the surface, and to explore the depths of reality.
