Carpe Noctem Print

What/who inspired the work? The idea of embracing the night inspires the work, as the title "Carpe Noctum" suggests. The fox, often seen as a symbol of cunning and adaptability, represents navigating through darkness or challenges. The halo adds a mystical or spiritual quality, possibly inspired by themes of enlightenment or protection during difficult times. What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? I hope viewers feel a sense of calm and contemplation, and reflect on the balance between light and dark, or challenges and wisdom. The artwork invites them to embrace the unknown or mysterious aspects of life, finding guidance and strength in those moments. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? The choice to print on wood adds a natural, earthy element that complements the symbolism of the fox. The screen print technique gives the piece boldness and texture, while the frame adds a finished, refined touch. The fox as a subject felt fitting for its adaptability and nocturnal nature, while the halo ties in with the deeper spiritual message of navigating through the darkness.
