“Symbols” – Original Painting by Katy Casillas-Gray

36" x 48" | Acrylic and Spray on Canvas

"Symbols" is a layered, dreamlike painting by artist Katy Casillas-Gray, created during a quiet winter moment of reflection. Measuring 36 x 48 inches, this mixed media piece blends acrylic and spray paint to express the contrast between external stillness and internal longing for freedom.

Painted against a crisp white background symbolizing snow, the work evokes a deep winter quiet, broken by flashes of cool blue, representing the biting cold and stillness of the season. Inspired by the artist’s view from her back window, bundled in constricting layers of clothing and itchy, wool socks, the painting captures her desire to return to nature, unbound and in motion.

At the heart of the piece is the spirit of a wolf, imagined running through the pasture and woods beyond, wild, unconfined, and deeply symbolic of freedom and raw instinct. Scattered throughout the canvas are modern symbols and emojis, layered into the composition to reflect the way we use icons and shorthand to express emotion and meaning in our daily lives.

"Symbols" is a visual meditation on the tension between natural wildness and modern structure, on longing for warmth, movement, and connection.
