Svetlana Rumak, “The Girl, The Knight And The Dragon”, acrylic on canvas, 70x70, 2023
The concept of multipersonality is at the heart of many of my paintings and this one is no exception. She is just a Woman. I know her perfectly, her body and her mind, her thoughts and her feelings. It’s all mine… But how multifaceted it is! She is the Princess and the Dragon, and the Knight who protects the Princess from the Dragon is also her. So who is she? It seems that her strength is in her secrets, but she scares herself. She loves the Dragon in her, more than it might seem, and her armor protects not only herself but the world from her Inner Dragons.
