Hand painted on parchment with gouache and 23ct gold leaf.
St George is a powerful figure in human legend. As a symbolic figure he represents that strong masculine energy that cannot be intimidated or overpowered. He embodies the ideals of chivalry - not to kill as many beings as possible but to respect all life and seek to preserve it. The dragon represents the base nature of self that needs to be conquered in order to access our more noble aspects.
Chivalry and the respect for all life has been lost in our current world which has led to a growing darkness. In order to enlighten our world, the ancient principles of chivalry needs to be restored, reclaimed and embeded into the consciousness of mankind. Our world needs heroes again. The symbol of St George serves to remind us all that we can be our own hero.
