Eternal Recurrence - Painting

"Our quest, our earth walk, is to look within, to know who we are, to see that we are connected to all things, that there is no separation, only in the mind."

About :
Eternal Recurrence is a concept where the universe, all existence and energy has been recurring and will continue to recur in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across time and space. The concept makes time move circular instead of linear.
We had to think of this because at the turn of each season I feel the same different emotions while creating artwork. It makes me wonder how restricted our range of human emotions exactly is. But every year around this time our artwork tends to get a little bit too brightly colored by the influence of summer, it is only after summer that we come to our senses and find the right tone. With this one we wanted to be ahead of that feeling, to be aware of our 'eternal recurrence' and to find our mojo before autumn starts.
