I had a dream with a traumatized cat. Initially this creature was poorly, but with time he became a powerfull ghostly cat, who could spin spider webs around the dark city.
I painted this picture having been inspired by a poem from the painter Edvard Munch. After painting the picture I realized that these two characters where showing me something from my own life. I was faraway from home and felt lonely in a foreign country. Initially they represented me and my boyfriend at the time, but when I finished the picture it seemed to me they were like two lost children in the cold night.
I dreamt about this wolf before I painted the picture. In the dream he was quite gentle and laid his paw in my lap. He hurt me a bit with his claws without noticing, but I didn't care because I really liked him. After painting this picture I felt the wolf represented a dark side of myself that I was facing, or an aspect of the male world I was reconciling with.
One interpretation is that this girl represents the wisdom within human beings that need "celestial" nourishment. The elephant could also represent a compassionate, gentle and caring animal, who is always helping human beings.
This picture was inspired by a poem I wrote about an angel. It seems to me that the angel represents perfection, but at the same time distance and indifference, as if he doesn't really want to get involved with the mundane world.
