Water Shaman the elixir of life, water
In the middle of a deep forest, in a place that breathes the silence and energy of ancient times, a shaman sits on the bank of a body of water. Her long, red robe and the feather headdress on her head testify to her deep connection to the earth and the elements. With a calming gesture of her hand, she seems to soothe the water, as if she were freeing it of its impurities. The gentle flow of the water over moss and rocks, permeated by the light breaking through the treetops, creates an atmosphere of hope and renewal. It is as if the shaman has the power to heal nature and restore its purity.
The process of creating this work was a journey of collaboration and transformation. Starting with intensive discussions with an AI instance, through the conceptualization of the content, to experimental work with the generative designer AI Midjourney. The digital template that emerged from this process served as a source of inspiration that influenced me both in terms of color and mood. The transformation of these digital colors and shapes into the world of oil paints was a balancing act. The bright digital colors had to be translated into hand-painted strokes that take into account both the fascination of the template and my personal, expressive style. “Water Shaman” therefore is not only a representation of healing and the connection to nature, but also a testimony to the creative process that combines technology and traditional painting.
