The “child,” in the sense of Carl Gustav Jung, represents qualities such as wonder, creativity, trust, and the ability to see the world with open eyes. It carries a certain innocence, but also something very powerful, a connection to what we originally are, before we had to adapt. At the same time, Jung also pointed out that there can be a risk in this. If a person “gets stuck” in this childlike state without continuing to develop, it can lead to an adult who avoids responsibility. So it’s not about being the child, but about consciously integrating it into one’s adult self. In my painting, a little girl is sliding down clouds, in blue and purple tones, surrounded by warm, orange clouds. For me, this can symbolize both lightness and trust. I would be interested to hear what the painting means to you? It is important to me to mention that this painting was not created alone. Children also worked on it with my guidance, which I think makes it even more special!
