A poetic meditation on romance, eros, longing, and the sacred mystery of the feminine.

Song of the Swan was created as an ode to the part of us that still believes love can be transcendent, not merely something we experience, but something that alters us.

The swan becomes a symbol of devotion, beauty, sensuality, and transformation. A creature that moves between water and sky, between body and spirit, between earthly desire and something almost divine.

🜄 Painted with hibiscus blue

The blue tones were created with hibiscus, allowing the painting to carry the memory of a flower within its surface, delicate, sensual, fleeting.

Hibiscus has long been associated with beauty, femininity, desire, and the ephemeral nature of life. Its color feels almost like a love letter: something beautiful precisely because it cannot be held forever.

🜃 Iron oxides and the body of the Earth

Layers of iron oxide pigments ground the work in mineral, blood, soil, and time.

Where the hibiscus speaks of softness and impermanence, iron speaks of permanence.

Flower and stone. Romance and reality. Eros and earth.

Together, they hold the tension at the heart of love itself, the desire to surrender completely while knowing that everything we love is ultimately transient.

✧ Eros as sacred longing

In Song of the Swan, eros is more than romantic desire.

It is the force that pulls us toward beauty. Toward intimacy. Toward creation.

Toward another human being so deeply that, for a moment, the boundaries between self and other seem to dissolve.

It is longing not as weakness, but as a doorway into aliveness.

🜁 The poetry of the Divine Feminine

The feminine within this painting is not passive. She feels. She desires. She dreams.

She allows herself to be moved by beauty. Her softness is not the opposite of power; it is one of its forms.

Song of the Swan is a devotion to the romantic soul, to those who still believe in poetry, tenderness, longing, and the strange sacredness of giving one's heart to something beyond oneself.

A reminder that perhaps love was never meant to make us invulnerable. Perhaps it was meant to make us more alive.
