What’s hidden in your sleeves, Vasilisa ?
I saw you elsewhere. Once upon a time.
Keep silent.

I composed this piece as a graphic novel where the narration is conveyed through recurrent symbols and figures, sometimes mirrored.
It all started with the obsessive thought that the trendy cliché ‘We are all in this together’ reveals its full accuracy during the worldwide pandemic we are currently undergoing. In this situation, the simple truth that we are much more alike than different is striking. I tried to express this through the many close faces in my composition. Isolated, framed, and yet connected on a deeper level, mindfully, soulfully. The eyes look within as isolation enhances the tendency for introspection, but they look also beyond. They look to the past, they stare at the present and this is why the color scheme talks about the melancholy of times. Those eyes also express the hope for healing, as does the faint tender smiles, the presence of masks, the two slogans - Masks of Mindfulness & Passion for Life -, the passion flowers, the butterflies and the ladybug. We all know that a page will be turned as the left side of this composition suggests, rolling onto itself, fading in greyish blue.
A flower kiss to another
On a fallen tree nesting.
Murmurs of tangled souls.

The story of this art piece started a long time ago with the imaginary portrait of a shamaness. Initially, it was her and only her, holding a screen of blossoming blue clouds. And her skin and fingers were blue also, as a summer sky.
Then, the picture got blurred with flames of fantasy, orange diffused shapes swaying around the central figure. And I let it go …
A few weeks ago, I found an antique bird, small and smooth as a fetish. And it occurred to me that this bird belonged to the shamaness. Floating on a sea of white clouds, the bird entered my old painting with the first snowflakes, and in this midwinter sweetness, the shamaness blushed, as her screen cleared out to become a bronze mirror revealing a golden bird.
Now is the time of enchantment - all walls have faded away, a tree has grown in the sweet moss and receives the caress of the snow, the birds hold precious gifts in their beaks - a peony and a necklace of ground glass pearls -, the shamaness wears a mysterious ring on her finger. All is silent.

Shamanic was composed on iPadPro with Procreate. As in all of my digital work, my signature plays a role in the composition : A little enigmatic accent, here, my name displayed in the form софи (Sophie) in a square partially hidden by the magic mirror.
