read the rules before posting,
you are supposed to start with a picture.

symbolic art can mean three things.
first: symbolism as an art stream, tried to use strong images (not icons) to bring the viewer to a certain mindstate.
second: symbolism is the aplied use of symbols, thus a symbolistic piece use certain symbols to portray it's true meaning.
third: a symbolic piece of art, is a piece of art which is itself (not the scene it portrays, but tha actual painting) a symbol for something else.
