Original artwork description:

This emotionally charged piece that draws inspiration from Byzantine iconography while infusing it with contemporary vision.

The use of warm, golden tones echoes the traditional Byzantine aesthetic, reminiscent of sacred icon paintings, yet here, they mix with deep reds, raw siennas, and dark outlines, lending an almost stained-glass effect to the piece.

The angel’s curls, ornamented with fluid and organic forms, appear almost molten, as if melting into the background - a symbolic representation of spiritual grief dissolving into the very fabric of existence.

Materials: watercolour and acrylic paints on fine art paper.

Certificate of authenticity.

Materials used:

watercolor and inks
