The Call to Adventure
Sold
18x24 Inches - Oil on Panel - 2024
This painting draws inspiration from a discussion on the story of Abraham, particularly the archetypal motif of God's call as an invitation to venture into the unknown. In the Bible, God assumes many forms, reflecting aspects of the Self. In the Abraham narrative, He manifests as a force beckoning towards individuation – the lifelong journey of self-discovery. Abraham, though aged, embarks upon an unknown path, embodying the courage required to answer this call of the unconscious. The idea that God might be found through this transformative adventure resonates deeply with Jung's psychology.

In this oil painting time-lapse, I explore the hero's journey through the lens of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and symbolism.
