This paint shows my dream called "Shaman's Bell" I made on March 24, 2024: I hear a Shaman ringing his little bell and murmuring grunts, as if calling.
It's dark, there are lots of stars in the sky and I can see the milky voice!
I am at the edge of a seaport, I approach to understand what the Shaman is doing and who is he calling with his bell and his grunts?
I stand behind him, at the edge of the stone wall that separates us from the sea. I got a little closer and it is then, that under the water, an enormous black mass advances towards us and several other black masses.
Suddenly, one, then two, then three giant sea turtles come out of the water!
The first comes out of the water in front of me, splashing me. Then, she stands up on her hind legs. I can see her belly, a round face, very particular and atypical. Moreover, her round face is that of a slightly old woman,
very very smiling towards me. She looks at me and with a lot of radiance and openness. She bows to me with a gesture of respect, gratitude or veneration, like a buddhist master. This gesture itself creates unity and harmony.
I am so moved, I respond by bowing to her and doing the same gesture.
Sea turtles make me feel like I've arrived, like aliens coming ashore.
The Dream Art collection is a series of paintings I made from my dreams. New paintings will be uploaded as soon as I finished them.
