The Snake of the Elixir Field

The Snake of the Elixir Field

丹域之蛇

Acrylic on unstretched canvas sheet, approx. 30 x 42 cm

A visceral portrayal of internal alchemy, this piece centers on a serpent coiled within what resembles a glowing 丹田 (elixir field), the Taoist seat of vital energy. The thick, gestural strokes radiate warmth, transformation, and cyclical motion. A blend of primal and spiritual, this artwork channels the symbolic snake — both guardian and awakener of internal force. Surrounded by petal- or flame-like segments, the central form pulses with energy, inviting the viewer inward toward stillness, mystery, and rebirth.

Ideal for meditation rooms, healing spaces, or modern interiors that embrace spiritual symbolism and Taoist philosophy.
