Fluorescent acrylic on canvas 12x24 iches Marina Malyarenko
Another painting I saw in meditation. In this piece, a mantis lives on its orchid and protects it. Praying mantises are a natural and effective way to control pest populations without using harmful chemicals. They are skilled hunters, often attacking more insects than the actual flowers they inhabit. Mantises also play an important role in the food web, serving as prey for birds and spiders, creating a beautiful balance of life. They symbolize courage, persistence, and patience. Such a beautiful and unusual insect! Orchids, on the other hand, have long been considered symbols of purity, prosperity, and good health. They were also once thought to bring happiness and good luck to those who grew them.
