As I started to paint, my desire was to portray the elements of transformation, joyfulness and healing, the essence of heaven, not somewhere else, but right here in our hearts. The vibrant lotuses symbolise everyone happy and blossoming. The dragonflies represent change, transformation and the power of self-realisation, the tool for healing. The spirit of dragonflies reminds us to rejoice and to have faith even amidst difficulties. The spirit of a lotus flower reminds us that no matter what, always choose to blossom with all your purity, even if planted in muddy waters. That's when we learn to create heaven in our hearts. When each one of us create heaven in our hearts, that's when we create heaven on earth.
