In a world where a painting becomes a realm of its own, three colours embark on a journey to tell a story deeper than the hues that meet the eye. Introducing: 'The Green Man,' a portrait painted using only shades forged from green, black, and white. Green, the colour of life, renewal and energy, breathes vitality into the painting, symbolising the incessant force that propels us forward in our journey. It represents the natural world, our connection to Mother Earth, and the vibrant life she sustains. Black, a colour often misinterpreted as the void, here represents boundless possibility. It is the profound depth of our emotions, the mysteries within us that are yet to unfold, and the strength that silently anchors our spirit. White, the essence of purity, light, and simplicity, illuminates the path. It is the blank slate from which all creation springs, offering a canvas for endless potential and a peaceful pause amidst the chaos.
