Journey's end

📝 Description 

This painting tells a powerful story through symbols. At the center stands a calm, thoughtful figure with a clock-like halo behind the head, reminding us that every journey is shaped by time. They hold a pair of scissors in one hand — a sign of cutting away the past or making important decisions — while the other hand guides an arrow toward a rose being offered. The rose represents beauty, love, and the rewards waiting at the end of life’s path.

Beneath them, waves of blue water rise and hands reach upward, full of hope and longing. The golden background glows warmly, suggesting wisdom and enlightenment, while a modern blue panel with a QR code adds a touch of today’s world to this timeless scene.

The painting feels like the final chapter of a long, meaningful journey — where challenges are behind, choices have been made, and something beautiful awaits.
