“UPGRADE” painting

Acrylic painting on canvas.

Painted 2018

Original painting by Raine Kapp

“This painting was initially something else. I remember having an urge to paint but having no idea what to paint. So I started by painting the entire canvas in a reddish-brown and while I looked at the chaotic paint mix on my canvas suddenly, a face appeared holding a sphere of light, as if offering it to me. I tried to paint that character initially, but quickly realized that the picture had to be a bit different. So I turned the painting on its side, kept the hand with the sphere and painted another being to the other side to recieve what ever was being offered. You could say that the creature here is a version of me. As if a visual representation of me accepting the light, the invite, trusting the process and heading on this journey I’m on today.

 A glow and warmth surged within me. This warmth and light traveled through my body and soul, healing and opening my heart and eyes, aligning me on every level to my highest potential and path. This painting represents the human evolution to the next level, where our senses become sharper, and we are in connection with our higher self and the universal force around us. Our lives become symbolic and meaningful. Too often when we think of evolution, we think of the past, but evolution is happening all the time. Where are you evolving? Are you evolving aligned with your dreams and wishes, the vision of the person you want to be? Or are you devolving?”
