Description
Ascension is about love and its power.
Anahata is the chakra located in the heart region. It has 12 petals and it is connected to the capacity of loving deeply and also to the feelings of compassion and empathy. It is generally depicted in the color green, but in my mind it appeared in luminous yellow with hints of red. It is through the anahata chakra that we can achieve universal love. It is the main point of contact to the so-called "inner Christ" and the upper planes.
Other symbols I used to represent the same concept are the water, running upward in a straight blue stripe across the picture, and the fish. The fish is connected to the Pisces sign and also to the primitive Christianity message. Both symbols are related to universal love and compassion. The skull carries here the meaning of the XIII Tarot Arcane, Death, since love is also a profoundly alchemical force. It leaves to a deep transformation, transcending even death.
The upper figure is representative of a state of ecstasy and bliss conduced by deeply spiritual experiences. When we are able to achieve a full state of love, even for brief moments, we feel like we are connected to something bigger and higher. Experiencing universal love leads to a state of freedom ( the hawk with open wings at the top) and transcendence of our material condition.

Hi Patricia, I am blown away by your art work! It's incredible to see so much spiritual knowledge and the actual artistic skills that you have! I can see influences of Gustav Klimt and Alfons Mucha which you transform beautifully into your own creations. I also love your symbolism and your ability to carry the messages out through the symbols. Keep shining! ... best regards....Aliza
