Whether under rocks, in deserts, in  walls, even in houses, it will make itself comfortable on the bed, or  even better under the sheets, and best of all, under the covers! Since  it is afraid of light, it moves, lives, and feeds mainly at night until  dawn. Its diet consists mainly of live prey paralyzed by the venom  contained in its stinger. This is a last resort. Because it takes two  weeks to &#8220;recharge&#8221; its venom. This is why spiders, woodlice, and even  another scorpion are its favorite foods. It rarely attacks humans,  except as a reflexive defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scorpion\nsymbolizes danger, punishment, and also protection. It&#8217;s curious in\nhumans, this need to always give an animal a symbolic meaning,\nwhether positive or negative. The need to absolutely explain and\njustify the existence of this or that species.<br>\n<br>\nI&#8217;m\ndifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to represent\nthe scorpion in blue. Blue, for me, is the sky, infinity, freedom. It\nis caught up, consumed by rust (technically this pigment is called\nburnt sienna). This color in my eyes is fire, anger, hatred, death.\nBetween the two a gray area, a mixture of the different pigments of\nthe canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scorpion tries\nto save himself, to escape all his negative emotions, whatever the\ncost, even if it means sacrificing a part of himself. He prefers his\nfreedom even if he doesn&#8217;t know where it will lead him. The unknown\ndoesn&#8217;t scare him; he escapes in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I dare to give you some keys to understanding this painting. And\nyet, deep down, I tell myself that it is very presumptuous of me to\nwrite these few lines. You are free to see what you want and imagine\nyour part of the story. Or to imagine nothing at all and let yourself\nbe carried away by the colors and the movement. My love of words is\ntoo strong to give up this habit of writing something for each\npainting that I do. I have often been asked to choose between one or\nthe other &#8230; But I get to decide!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeffSOLD Acrylic on canvas \u2013 9,5 x 12 inch \u2013 Unique work What a strange animal.
