Raven
This is an original oil on a 14x11 inch canvas, varnished and framed.
Across world cultures, ravens hold a complex and dual role in folklore and mythology, symbolizing both wisdom and death. In Norse mythology, the god Odin relied on two ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn(Memory), as his all-seeing eyes and ears. Conversely, in Indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest, the raven is celebrated as a clever trickster and creator who brought light to humanity. Due to their dark feathers and attraction to battlefields, they are also widely tied to war, ghosts, and omens of doom.
