Spiritual Warfare

Every day a spiritual battle is held in your heart - it is a struggle between primordial powers; that of Good and evil. It is a tale as old as time, and a theme that precedes written history and permeates all of our stories and religions. This painting is about that conflict and duality - and our own personal relationship with it. We all have the capacity to do Good but also to do bad, and ultimately a lot of that is up to the decisions we make. We can argue about the relativity of morals and wriggle our ways out of them through mental gymnastics, but you needn't turn further than yourself to see what is Good and what is bad. Throughout the dark, there is always signs that point to the Light, and in the Light there's always dark attempting to fester and spread. We should do well to practice the discernment between these two rather than trying to force both black and white into our greyscale and blind ourselves to it completely.
