"Wild Waves"

Format: A1 (594 x 841mm/ 23.4 x 33.1 inch), Acrylic on water colour paper.

It has often been said "Women are like Water".
I would like to add: "Wild Women have the soul of an
adventurer, ready to be one with the sea."

Water itself is often used as a metaphor of the wild, mysterious and
unrestrained femininity and womanhood.
It is connected with birth and re-birth, rejuvenation and
creativity, wisdom, power, calmness and strength.


The wild woman archetype is one that is highly misunderstood.
It doesn’t mean a woman who is wild, embraces sex, or
experiments with drugs.

On the contrary, a wild woman is highly evolved, with
discerning taste, style and opinions.

She is someone who lets her emotions flow like a river and is
powerfully devoted to those she loves.
Just like water, she can be playful but equally possess immense strength
(of character).
She has a keen sense of intuition, embraces her imperfections, follows her instincts and has the confidence to pursue what she desires— not what
society tells her she should want.

Sadly, this version of a wild woman has been drastically
domesticated - let's liberate her! :)
