The Mother Archetype – Fine Art Print

Title: ‘The Mother’, Illustration Art by Anna Heimkreiter (2021)

From the series: ‘The 7 Feminine Archetypes’, a collection of 7 artworks on femininity and goddesses, based on Jungian psychology and ancient mythology.

About the artwork: Just looking at this artwork, I feel a sense of warmth and safety – you, too? I have been very fortunate to grow up with the most loving and caring mother who embodies this feminine archetype with all her being. But even those who did not have a similarly nurturing upbringing can understand and carry this archetype within them. I believe it is in our nature to feel connected to the image of a warm, caring mother.

Love is a language universally spoken around the world.

For this artwork, I drew inspiration from Demeter, the Greek Goddess of Harvest. Her divine feminine energy lets people and projects blossom, represented by the richly growing grains around her. Also, poppies are symbolic of Demeter in mythology. This kind of motherly energy can also come from someone who is not your biological mother – a friend, a protector, someone who cares deeply about those she loves.

The Mother is devoted, caring, supportive and highly compassionate. She profoundly understands unconditional love. So, if the Mother Archetype is your main way of expressing your feminine energy, wow – you are a blessing to your surroundings and the world is grateful to have you.
