Pisces: Year of the Dragon
Thierry Chatelain presents a beautiful Dragon, standing alone in peaceful meditation on a lonely outcrop of rock surrounded by a slightly disturbed sea. Her right hand holds the earth in a tender grip, the claws gentle and loving. The planet Neptune halos her head as two lively fish play in the water at her feet.
Dragons are exhibitionists; known for their great energy, natural charisma and self-confidence, they are tough-skinned and at times have an over-assertive nature. They love to be in a crowd, and they are always at the center. Pisces, on the other hand, prefer to be alone. They are spiritual, psychic, and intuitive, usually with a gift for prophecy. Capable of high intellect while being dreamy, romantic and creative, they are warmhearted, caring and sensitive. By juxtaposing the two signs, Chatelain transforms his subjects into their true combined states. The Dragon, while still quite the center of attention, wraps beautiful wings around her glorious body, hiding the grandness of her person, so that she may meditate in peace and tranquility. The gentleness of her grip on the earth — a Pisces element that gives her new stability — shows that she truly understands its value and the love and sensitivity it brings her. The two exuberant flying fish, representing Pisces, are capriciously showing off their Dragon qualities. They become the exhibitionists. Not content to swim slowly, hiding beneath the ocean, they unfurl their wings and leap from the sea, reveling in their newfound energy and self-confidence. But they are still Pisces, the fish, and their intellect is not hidden by their ebullient freedom. Remaining unselfish and generous, they do not taunt the meditating Dragon, but instead allow it to rest in peace, knowing that one should always be careful not to wake a sleeping Dragon.
Painted in sharp pure color in a symbolist style, artist Thierry Chatelain has captured the representational portrait of a Dragon-Pisces.
