Shamanic Painting

Roots, Acrylics on Cotton Bedsheet, 2017
In the beginning of the drumming, I felt calm. In a more relaxation state, I  begin to see roots grew from my feets & legs and it connected to the ground with Earth. I also saw black and white irregular circle shape formed later.
The painting feels like something is emerging within me to the surface but I don’t know what is it. The painting after also reminded me of my roots & connection with Earth.
I could imagine that other people who listen to this drumming would enter into a deep relaxation state and they might discover something within them that they are not aware of yet.
I’d tried to paint roots and irregular circles but it was too complicated and didn’t express the calmness I’d felt. Therefore, I had decided to add more white to bring in the calmness and flow into the painting.
The drip marks added an interesting touch to the painting. It also creates another unexpected surprise that could express my feelings of something emerged within me.
