Ogdoad

Size: 30,3 x 22,6 cm

Materials: Watercolour on watercolour paper

Symbol number fifty-three is the Ogdoad. It symbolizes the eight primordial deities worshipped in Egypt during the Old Kingdom, and it’s also found as the seal of a Hermetic and Theurgic order in England. I created the background by adding some stronger colours, moving them around, and then enhancing the impression with some sgraffito.
