This painting represents four magicians who are devoted to the occult arts. Contrary to the belief that most sorcerers are evil and have surrendered to their black powers, this painting shows a group of light wizards who in their own way are trying to pave the way for light and prosperity.

Although the snake is often interpreted as a symbol of betrayal and temptation, it is also a symbol of home and fertility. We have depicted the snake in its positive meaning. The eyeballs in the jar symbolize distancing ourselves from public opinion and what other people may think of us. The mantis is another image present in our painting. It is believed that mantises come to suggest the need for pacification, calming the mind and soul, bringing peace, and tranquility. But also, to show that it’s time to move. Time for a certain action, using the full potential of your talent. The mantises always move only when they are 100% sure that it is the right moment.

As skilled tacticians – they can freeze, remain motionless indefinitely until they are convinced that it is time for action. They know exactly when to attack and when to retreat. There is a great power and wisdom in it. One of the most valuable samurai swords is called the Mantis sword. The style in the martial art of kung fu is inspired by these movements that help the “fighter” to synchronize the energies within himself, to master the energy of” Chi”.
