"The Warriors from my dreams"
This is a series of the paintings that came one winter night when I had an unusual dream about a blue warrior hunting a small herd of animals in the desert with a spear in his hand. The blue warrior in my dream is represented by half a body like a bird and the other half like a human. His blue color that is present on his body is very similar to the color from my dream, and it symbolizes great strength, security and thoughtfulness. Blue is also the bearer of great power, the flow of our planet, our lives and the color of our sky and the sea.
The name of this painting is based on an African song called "Set."performed by the famous Senegalese musician, Youssou N' Dour.
