Wake up!
Sometimes change begins the moment we are ready to truly see us.
The Archetype
Sometimes we spend a long time living on autopilot. We function, meet expectations, and in the process lose sight of what is truly alive within us.
Wake Up! emerged through an intuitive and meditative painting process. Gradually, a woman revealed herself, splashing water onto her face. It is not simply a moment of cleansing — it is a moment of awakening.
The water bursts into delicate droplets and bubbles, bringing movement into the painting and reminding us that awareness often begins with a single moment.
The butterfly represents transformation. Not as a sudden event, but as a natural process. The luminous pink accents appear like flashes of light — moments of realization that break through the familiar.
Wake Up! reminds us that clarity does not come from the outside. It begins the moment we find the courage to truly meet ourselves.

About My Artistic Process
Each of my paintings begins intuitively.
Through meditation, dreams, and my exploration of mythology, nature, animals, and plants, an archetype gradually reveals itself. I do not plan these figures — I accompany their emergence and follow what wants to become visible.
My paintings do not retell ancient myths.
They invite us to remember our own inner wisdom, strength, and connection to nature.
If this artwork touches you,
you can trust that feeling.
I’m truly happy that this piece speaks to you.
With love,
Elke
