Portal, Be Authentic, Be Free — A Visionary Painting

Hi everybody,

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by inspiration that you didn't know where to begin?

Portal, Be Authentic, Be Free, Watercolors on Paper, Visionary Art, by Rika Dehombreux 2015

One spring, surrounded by blooming nature, beautiful imagery and countless artistic possibilities, I found myself creatively blocked. There were so many subjects, colors and techniques I wanted to explore that I wondered whether one lifetime would ever be enough!

So I returned to my watercolor paints, set aside all expectations and simply allowed my imagination to wander.

The result was Portal, Be Authentic, Be Free, a visionary watercolor painting whose symbolism seemed to offer an unexpected answer to my dilemma.

The left side of the painting is filled with vibrant colors. A Tree of Life appears with three energy centers and a colorful aura. Within it, I can discern the profile of a child looking toward the right. At the level of its forehead, or third eye, a mysterious portal contains a heart.

The right side is quieter, with plants, birds and a luminous being, perhaps an angel, soaring into the open sky.

To me, the child and the tree symbolize our inner child, naturally connected to the world and its wonders. The portal represents the freedom to move between a world overflowing with impressions and a peaceful realm of imagination.

The inner child can travel between these worlds without restrictions, spreading its wings whenever it wishes. It remains connected to the Source, recognizes its own authenticity and is free.

What fascinates me about visionary art is how unexpected imagery can reveal something meaningful about our inner world.

For me, this painting became a reminder that I don't need to explore every artistic possibility at once. I can simply follow my imagination and allow my creative world to unfold naturally.

What do you see in this painting? I would love to hear your interpretation!

Love,

Rika 💖🙏💖😊
