Description

Thought to be the gem of winter and ice, Diamond, has long been appreciated for its perfection, strength, and beauty. By being considered indestructible, the diamond was worn by greek ancient warriors as they believed the stone will strengthen their muscles so they will be more efficient during combat. The name diamond derives from the Greek word adamas, meaning invincible. The origin of diamonds was a mystery for a very long time. According to Hindu beliefs, diamonds are born when lightning strikes a common rock. These days, it is assumed that diamonds form under very high pressure and temperatures, only within the upper mantle of the Earth. Being considered such a beautiful, perfect and pure stone, it seemed natural to me to represent this idea throughout a purity goddess, with a white snow long hair (further enforcing the idea of beauty) that flows through the fingers of a giant rocky hand that protects her. I chose to use hands throughout the composition, as a symbol of strength and power. For example, in the Celtic language of symbolism, hand symbol meanings were connected to authority and power. King Nuada lost his throne due to losing his right hand in battle. In the cold icy realm of Diamond, one can find quartz growing out of nowhere, frozen plants, and leafless branches. No wonder "the opportunist" is using his funny magnifying glass to scan every inch of the area in search of, why not, opportunities. He is accompanied in his quest by the "fighter" who never gives up, he just keeps on fighting. That "workaholic dude" seems like it is always present in these illustrations, what could be so important inside that laptop that we always catch him working? A nice dude, "the ecologist", he wants to contribute to lowering his carbon footprint and decided to use the bike to come to the office, instead of his beloved diesel car. Of course, he brings his own bag to the grocery store, dooh.
