Season Fractal | Original Painting

Season Fractal
Size: 750mm x 500
Acrylics on Canvas

Not long ago I had this idea come through of a fractal/spiral which incorporates the four seasons. I love using fractals in my work. I see them as beautiful symbols for the cyclical nature of life. Fractals and spirals are found in art across many cultures, often representing ascension.
I feel that we are more powerful when we live in alignment with the seasons.
We all have seasons of growth, where things shift and we are presented with expansion/new opportunities and also natural seasons of rest to recharge. In nature most flowers do not bloom all year round and similarly in life we shouldn’t expect ourselves to be ‘blooming’ all year round. Life became easier for me when I surrendered to the natural rhythms of my own monthly cycle/menstrual cycle, which like the seasons has four distinct stages.
Ovulation is summer. Luteal is autumn. Menstrual is winter.  Follicular is spring.
Each of the four seasons provide us with unique gifts, fruits in summer, flowers in spring, mushrooms in autumn, citrus in winter. Divine orchestration is easy to observe in nature and I wanted this piece to serve as a reminder of that.
