DER EINSIEDLER / The Hermit - original drawing
Artwork originally created as merch design for Austrian band “Synkende".
Searching for insight into his inner world the Hermit walks alone, bearing a lantern to light his way through the darkness that is hiding the path that lies before him. The Hermit chooses to live in solitude willingly for he knows that the kind of spiritual and transcendental insight he is searching for is only to be found within himself – through extensive introspection and separation from everything superficial and material that can distract him from his digging into the realm of feelings and emotions but also into the realm of his logos, that wants to be untainted from external factors. Due to his ambition to elevate the mind beyond the restrictions of the mortal shell, the figure of the Hermit has been the epitome of wisdom and spiritual as well as personal growth ever since.
