Unveiling Wisdom: Owl Bas-Relief as a Symbol of Transformation

9/16/2020

In ancient cultures, the owl was regarded as a symbol of solitude, sadness, and even death due to its nocturnal lifestyle. However, today it is also seen as a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and intuition. My latest owl bas-relief, crafted from clay and painted with acrylic, brings this mystical bird into the modern era.

In various cultures, the owl played the role of a symbolic guide, indicating life changes and important transitions. Its association with the element of air underscores its ability to uncover truths and see what remains hidden to others. The owl's large eyes have become a symbol of perceiving the unnoticed.

The owl is also linked to profound wisdom and intuition. Individuals who consider owls as their animal totem are often recognized as creative, possessing strong intuition, and capable of absorbing knowledge. The owl helps in perceiving the true reality, piercing through illusions, and facilitating the discovery of life's mysteries.

When an owl appears in life, it is typically a harbinger of forthcoming changes. It serves as a guide, assisting in identifying life processes and preparing for them. It encourages looking beyond the obvious, appreciating the smallest details of existence.

The owl bas-relief I created is not only a beautiful work of art but also a bearer of symbols and energy. Painted with acrylic and hardened with epoxy resin, this owl represents wisdom, protection, and inspiration for delving into deeper truths of life. The jute twine connecting its legs adds a touch of natural character.

I believe that the owl is not just an artistic object but also a spiritual guide, bringing wisdom and inspiration. Wishing you a wonderful day, full of discoveries and new experiences! 😘🦉🎨
