Artist's Comments

Symbols are funny. Why I'm not reading about them anymore?

Raven is symbol of death and everything that's evil and misfortune. On the other hand, there was cult of raven as a god of creation. Also there're Odin's ravens, which were considered as symbols of knowledge and memory.
The same's about cat. In many cultures it was considered as evil, satan's crature, which is sly. But in other cultures they were considered as protectors, or as lunar symbol and everything connected with was opportunity to celebrate [like in fertility cult].

And there's wolf.

Three is number of perfect.

White, generally, is pure, decent, innocent. Or dead in other cultures.
Black is connected with death, funeral. Or life in another culture.

Have fun, if You know what I mean.

Ciekawy motyw z białym krukiem. Tamten czarny nad nim kracze i straszy, a ten jasny się na niego gapi jak na idiotę. Fajny art :D.

Very cool. I love the symbolism. Are you moving to mostly digital or whatever you feel like doing at the moment?

Thank You! :)
But I still think I have no chances in contest.
Mostly digital? Never! It's just easier for me to do digital paintings while I want to play with colours ATM. That's because I don't have much place for my paints, painting stuff and mess bothers my parents. And currently I don't have any undercoat to paint. That's the only reason. I seriously prefer to paint in traditional way.

Nice painting. Love symbolism myself I think it gives a certain depth to a painting. Strange thought that so many symbols can mean one thing and the opposite at the same time guess its all about placing it in a context which you did quite nicely I might add. :)
