Pangolin with sigil symbol on canvas (oil painting)

A pangolin may be a small animal, but it can curl up in danger and its shell protects it. When I was looking for a suitable animal for the theme of "feeling protected", the first thing that came to mind was big, strong and perhaps even scary animals. But what if sometimes the greatest strength lies in the small animals? The pangolin in this picture is meant to remind you that you can feel comfortable and safe with yourself.

This painting is from my Spells" seriesin which I transform a positive core message into a magic spell. This is integrated into the picture in the form of a sigil symbol. I designed the symbol for the respective motif and it is based on the wording of the spell, which is written in English. The exact wording of the spell is only given to the buyer of the original painting, as I have written it on the back of the canvas. However, I have indicated the subject of the respective spell in the title of the painting.
