My Reason for Choosing This Image Was
I chose to depict a magician because it symbolizes a powerful figure who has harnessed the ways of the universe to achieve key goals. The elements in the image, such as the mystical symbols and the all-seeing eye, represent the Magician’s wisdom, power, and insight. The magician’s pose, with one hand pointing upwards and the other downwards, signifies the balance between the spiritual and physical realms.

Additionally, finding the balance between depicting power and avoiding overcomplication was a challenge.
I Was Inspired By
I was inspired by mystical and magical characters from literature and film, such as Gandalf from “The Lord of the Rings” and Dumbledore from “Harry Potter.” These characters embody wisdom, power, and a guiding presence, which I aimed to capture in my artwork. The desire to explore and visually represent the mystical and magical elements that fascinate me also served as a significant source of inspiration.
