Originally designed as a tattoo concept, this painting was a continuation in a series of watercolors that allowed me to explore the juxtaposition of watercolor with geometric and natural imagery. While exploring this new medium, I focused on creating a story of the marriage of the natural and the inorganic. The aim was to combine creations of the mind with creations of the earth, to serve as a reminder that all things are inspired by and originate from the earth and its gifts. Both the jaguar and crow are two mystical creatures with their own lore throughout cultures, both symbols of rebirth, death and transformation, serving as a fierce reminder of our mortality.
