This painting was created for the 78 Tarot : Ecological, which will published next year.
It is based on the archetypal tarot card.

This Hermit is an old man who has found peace and enlightenment thanks to Nature, since he has returned living in the forest.
He has layed his staff down to the earth and his serpent is free to come and go. He’s dressed simply, in orange, the color of renouncement, and his stretched ears stand for his dedication, patience and wisdom.
In his lamp shines a Merkaba, symbol of union of body and spirit, vehicle to higher dimensions, and balance of all opposing energies.
The flower of life he’s wearing is a reminder of the unity of everything, even if we are alone.
We are connected to everything, everyone, we are one.
We are everything.
