Inspiration Print - Limited Edition of 100

On top of this painting you find the image of my companion, who’s also my guiding genius and the source of my artistic inspiration. At the bottom you see my face peeking out between the bushes while in the middle hovers a figurine that symbolizes my mind , hovering between the visionary and real world. The word “Inspiration” has an unusual history in that its figurative sense appears to predate its literal one. It comes from the Latin inspiratus (the past participle of inspirare, “to breathe into, inspire”) and in English has had the meaning “the drawing of air into the lungs” since the middle of the 16th century. This breathing sense is still in common use among doctors, as is expiration (“the act or process of releasing air from the lungs”). However, before inspiration was used to refer to breath it had a distinctly theological meaning in English, referring to a divine influence upon a person, from a divine entity, this sense dates back to the early 14th century. The sense of inspiration often found today (“someone or something that inspires”) is considerably newer than either of these two senses, dating from the 19th century.
