Soaring Among Thorns an original clutter painting by Artist Chris Shopland Bristol uk acrylic on 18 x 24 inch deep edge canvas
More intricate than my usual work, this piece came from trusting the process and surrendering to emotion. It reflects the idea of a rose among thorns—but not one caught within them. Instead, it rises above.
The dragon emerges as a symbol of power and transformation, soaring beyond the chaos below. This isn’t about creating something merely beautiful—it’s about something bold, thought-provoking, and unapologetically strong.
It speaks to where you’ve been, the struggles and sharp edges, but more importantly, to the power that’s always been within you. Now, it’s about where you’re going—rising above the noise, above the thorns, and stepping into something greater.
Soaring above the thorns.
