This painting explores the multifaceted nature of authority and leadership through symbolic representations.
The once-visible three central figures were depicted: a QUEEN, embodying divine feminine attributes like nurture, emotion, intuition, and community; a SCHOLAR, symbolizing knowledge, documentation, and intellectual pursuits; and a WAR GENERAL, representing action-oriented qualities such as strength, strategy, and protection.
Notably, both the SCHOLAR and WAR GENERAL encompass aspects of the divine masculine.
The diversity of roles in the painting represents inner aspects, such as masculine and feminine traits (e.g., compassion vs. factual). The emphasis is on their compatibility, each possessing unique strengths that should not be dismissed for the benefit of the other.
This interconnectedness of the divine masculine and divine feminine within each person, highlights the complexity of human identity.
The composition places these figures on opposing sides of a table, creating a visual dialogue that delves into the dynamics of authority. The submissive rat/dog adds another layer of symbolism, representing the animalistic instincts within ourselves and the importance of keeping such impulses in check within the broader context of authority.
The disappearance of the characters in the painting signifies the oneness essence of leadership on both inner personal level and with those under its guidance. Leaders must prioritize the best interests and safety of both the group and its individuals for prosperity, mirroring the dynamic between the brain (representing authority) and the body (symbolizing the group, with body parts as individuals). Just as the brain cannot thrive without considering the body and its parts, effective leadership involves protecting both the group and its individual members reciprocally.
The significance of being the Keeper of truth as a leader. Certainty inspires trust and confidence even in challenging circumstances, while being willing to evolve and readjust are the keys to long-lasting welfare. Overall, the painting offers a thoughtful exploration of leadership dynamics, embracing the inherent complexities and responsibilities that come with guiding others.
The process
From left to right
Autorité
Cette œuvre explore les multiples facettes de l’autorité et du leadership à travers une composition symbolique.
Les figures autrefois visibles — une Reine, un Savant, et un Général — incarnaient respectivement :
- la féminité divine (intuition, émotion, soin et esprit communautaire),
- la connaissance structurée,
- et la force stratégique et protectrice du masculin actif.
Plutôt que d’opposer ces archétypes, le tableau célèbre leur compatibilité intérieure.
Chacun représente une force distincte mais complémentaire. Ensemble, ils composent une autorité équilibrée, fondée sur l’écoute, la vision et l’action.
Leur disposition de part et d’autre d’une table évoque un dialogue intérieur, mais aussi les dynamiques de pouvoir et de responsabilité collective.
La présence du Whippet, image de nos instincts animaux, invite à questionner le rapport entre autorité et pulsions :
Qu’est-ce qui gouverne ? Et comment l’invisible façonne-t-il nos décisions ?
La disparition des personnages souligne l’idée que l’autorité véritable ne s’impose pas — elle s’intègre.
Le leadership devient alors une conscience fluide, entre exigence individuelle et responsabilité collective, à l’image du cerveau et du corps :
le premier décide, mais ne peut exister sans écouter les signaux du second.
Enfin, l’œuvre rappelle que diriger, c’est aussi être gardien.ne de la vérité :
la clarté inspire la confiance, mais c’est la capacité à évoluer qui assure la pérennité.➤ Galerie
