Unity

OIL ON CANVAS, 210 x 210 cm, 2024

INTRODUCTION

Connected as One

Christiane delves into capturing humanity’s shared existence. With her signature attention to detail and symbolism, she creates a powerful narrative that invites reflection on the harmony between creation, love, and peace. This artwork stands as a reminder that, despite our differences, we are all part of the same whole—one world, one humanity.

A Call for Harmony

In Unity, the right hand of the central figure gently holds the hand of a woman forming a peace sign. It serves as a reminder that true unity can only be achieved through harmony among humanity. The peace hand symbolizes the aspiration for a world where conflict gives way to understanding, and division is replaced by a sense of togetherness.

Humanity in all its Splendor

At the core of Unity stands a majestic male figure, embodying the essence of humanity. His powerful yet gentle presence symbolizes the strength, grace, and kindness that define us all. His crown, a symbol of creative power, reflects the idea that we are all creators, connected through our shared potential.

The Reflection of you

The heart-shaped mirror invites the viewer into the painting. This mirror symbolizes more than just reflection—the observer becomes an active part of the piece, reinforcing the idea that we are all interconnected.

A Vision of Unity

by Christiane Vleugels

I wanted to create a vision of what it truly means to be ‘One’. At the center stands a male figure, representing humanity in all its power, grace, and kindness. He is not above or below—he is one with each of us. His crown symbolizes our shared creative nature, as I believe we are all creators, all connected to a greater whole.

Through this piece, I hope to remind us all that we are united in this world, connected by love, peace, and our shared essence.

We are all one.
