Story / Additional InfoFrom the artist: "This work was inspired by an old song, “Me and My shadow”, a sad song of loneliness; however, the artist gives it a new twist, with the focus on exploring the shadow side, (not Jung’s dark side) but in this case, simply the hidden side that is not always shown in public. It is very close to being an abstract painting, but the figures exist in a shadowy realm of reality. The bright red colors contrast with the shadowy illusions and the figures are both ancient and contemporary. One figure sends out rays of light that represent her search for self realization."
