Renunciation
The wealthiest needs nothing.
Oil & acrylic on canvas; 91x81 cm
The deer is a symbol of renunciation, because they are known to not sleep in the same spot on consecutive nights. Renunciation disengages one from desires that create mental disturbances. Without the conviction of feeling lackful, one is fulfilled, content, and rich.

Sacred geometry is the study of spiritual meaning in various spatial arrangements. Symmetry offers a balance that resonates with humankind because of our bilateral physiology. We find a sense of balance, beauty, calmness in symmetrical compositions.
Jacqueline Shiu uses Chinese classical, Tibetan Thangka, & French art nouveau motifs in her paintings to illustrate the truth, the good, and the beautiful. Geometric proportions & symmetry express dignity, righteousness, and order; organic lines & shapes embody the complexity and depth of human emotions; detail & intricacy reflect human dedication and perseverance; and flowers are symbolic of grace and perfection.
