Symbolism

The artwork shown in the product gallery is Jan van Eyck’s Annunciation diptych from the 1430s—the original work, which served as the inspiration for this illustration. The piece depicts the traditional moment when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary, bringing the message of new life.

Gabriel represents the creative force approaching a person in the form of knowledge and awakening. Mary’s gesture embodies receptive awareness, ready to receive the message. The dove between them symbolizes the movement of spirit, the moment of insight, and a mind opening to the birth of new understanding.

The image speaks of inner listening. It reminds us that awareness often ignites in a moment when a person is ready to receive what comes from within rather than from the external world. This is the beginning of new insight and the discovery of one’s inner direction.

Symbolism is always multi-layered in nature and opens up in multiple interpretations, which everyone can approach from their own starting points, thus enriching the understanding of the different dimensions of the symbol.
