A Warrior and a Penguin and a Cat
In this painting, the central character is the Warrior, a symbol of one's potential for greatness. The Penguin, positioned at the bottom left corner, gazes at the Warrior, seeing in him an ideal version of himself and learning that belief in oneself can lead to self-realisation. The Warrior embodies the power of self-affirmation, declaring, 'I am a king,' and exemplifying that one can become what they believe. Yet, this peaceful Warrior fights not for conquest but for a noble cause – peace.
Conversely, the red Cat represents the capacity for aggression and conflict. It stands as a formidable ally in battle, aiding the Warrior in achieving his objectives. This artwork captures the interplay of these characters, highlighting the balance between strength and peace, self-belief, and a commitment to a just cause.

A Woman and a Moon Boy and a Rising Star
Sitting in the image is a strong and beautiful woman confidently in her natural form, embracing her inner greatness, and finding fulfilment in life. She's shed the weight of the past, including past relationships, and she faces her true self with openness. Those who once held significance in her life, like the Moon Boy, have become admirers, silently watching her from the sidelines. Just like a rising star, her spirit shines brightly.

Animal Religion I
Animal Religion I, oil on canvas, 20cmx25cm, 2022.
Are animals less intelligent than humans? Crows can figure out complicated tasks on their own, and an otter can use a vendor machine....yet animals are not yet having freedom as we humans do. Science has proved that Homo Sapiens today are less intelligent than the Sapiens from 20,000 years ago. Intelligence doesn’t guarantee power. The story of Animal Religion begins.

Counterreality Three Metamorphoses Talisman Friedrich Nietzsche
- Enamel Pin, 5.1 x 3.8cm
- Camel: persistence Lion: freedom Child: creation
- Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy on self-actualization.
- A kind reminder of life's purpose and transformation
- Comes with a mini book "Three Metamorphoses"
The Three Metamorphoses story was originally written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that the purpose of human existence is to achieve one's full potential. To achieve that, a spirit had to go through three transformations: a camel, a lion, and a child. These talismans are made of soft enamel. The set comes with three animals and each animal represents survival, freedom, and creation. Besides a beautiful, fun decoration, the talisman brings unique values to your life and your way of being.Three metamorphoses of the spirit I named for you: how the spirit became a camel, and the camel a lion, and finally a child.
— Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche(1844–1900)
The camel is the weight-bearing spirit. It can carry great weight and survive in the desert. “To the spirit there is much that is heavy; to the strong, carrying spirit imbued with reverence. Its strength demands what is heavy and heaviest.”
Then you become a lion, the ruler. “Here the spirit becomes lion, it wants to hunt down its freedom and be master in its own desert.” The lion is at the top of the food chain. It wins its game by breaking the rules dictated by a higher power, which Nietzsche called “the great dragon”. The dragon can represent anything that places commands on you. “Thou shalt” is the name of the great dragon. In modern English, it means “You shall”. After you conquer the great dragon, you won’t need to say “I will” any more. However, although a lion can create freedom for itself, it is still not capable of creating new values.
The spirit then transforms into a child, the creator. “The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a game, a wheel rolling out of itself, a first movement, a sacred yes-saying.” Adults can have a lot of structures in their heads which make them do things in certain ways because they have accepted the rules and values society regarded as legitmate. A child doesn’t know much of the world. It doesn’t care about how others perceive it and it can come up with things that are totally new. Picasso once said: “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after he grows up.”
Which of the three transformation stages are you in?

During the session, you can expect to receive an oil painting of yourself alongside your spirit animal. It takes approximately two hours for you to sit with me and chat, and another two weeks for me to complete the painting on my own.
