Original painting “Mercury Retrograde”

Original painting "Mercury Retrograde" - a painting in tribute to the feminine, self-care and rebirth.

"Retrograde Mercury" from the "Golden Touch" series with 23K gold leaf accents. Over the centuries, gold has been considered a symbol of the Divine, the Sun, light, abundance and prosperity.

Here Mercury, the winged messenger of the gods, is represented as a giant cosmic butterfly (influenced by Gustav Holst's The Planets suite) that has landed to rest.

For those who are used to high speeds and fast turns, it may be unnerving, but it is a reminder to pause in the mad rush of life and tasks, to slow down, look within ourselves, and gather strength for the new flight.

Time to recover, rethink, and prepare is just as important as the action itself, and is a key part of eternal balance.

The painting is perfect for your home, or as a gift for a special person!
