In my vulnerability I found the strength

Ink and graphite on 350gsm watercolour paper

15 x 10 cm

Study I made before painting on canvas.

“In my vulnerability I found the strength that transforms tears into courage.”

Inspiration for this painting came from a story from a book “Woman who run with the wolves”.

“In the psyche, the bear represents the ability to regulate life, especially the feelings of life. Its strength lies in living cyclically. The image of the bear teaches that it is possible to control the pressure on emotional life, and especially to be wild and generous at the same time.”
