The Temperance
Description
The artwork portrays a female angel, the central figure inspired by the "Temperance" card of the tarot, positioned as the 14th card in the Major Arcana. The angel is depicted with grace and delicacy, with two amphorae placed behind her, from which water flows in a pouring gesture. The amphorae represent human possibilities and desires, while the water flowing between them symbolizes the embrace and acceptance of life's various facets. The cups collecting the water underline the importance of kindness and compassion in the pursuit of inner peace.
The sweet and serene smile of the female figure represents the conceptual core of Temperance, which is the attainment of a desired and sought-after peace. This inner peace is the result of a wise balance between personal desires and real possibilities, an inner harmony that arises from stability and self-awareness.
Therefore, "The Temperance" aims to visually communicate the concept of temperance as a path to inner serenity, showcasing the beauty and tranquility that stem from balancing life's opposing forces.
