My Celtic Lad,
symbolic art
A stunning depiction of a beautiful man executed in oil on canvas, embellished with gold foil and ancient symbolic art. The artwork features a Triquetra, a symbol of protection and the trinity representing earth, air, and water, or life, death, and rebirth. This is paired with an Ouroboros; an ancient Greek symbol (οὐροβόρος, meaning "tail-eater"), oneof the oldest mythical symbols in the world.
The Ouroboros appears in Celtic and Aztec mythology, Chinese mythology, and many other cultures. It depicts a snake or dragon biting its own tail, forming an eternal circle, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence, eternal recurrence, and the unity of everything.
Additionally, the artwork includes a Celtic knot, which contains symbols believed to offer protection and ensure prosperity and luck. The entire piece is covered with a rich, thick layer of glossy resin, creating an almost 3D effect.
