Guardians of the Divine Flight

12.0 x 9.0 inches

In Guardians of the Divine Flight, I invite the viewer into a sacred moment suspended between earth and sky. Six hooded figures stand in solemn unity—faceless, grounded, yet gazing upward—as if bearing silent witness to something greater than themselves. Their forms, sculpted in textured strokes of crimson, ochre, and shadow, embody both the weight of human experience and the flicker of spiritual awakening. Above them, a radiant, winged presence emerges—part flame, part light—a symbol of transcendence, guidance, or perhaps the soul's release. It hovers like a divine messenger, untethered and free. This moment between the figures and the flight is the heart of the painting: the threshold between the seen and the unseen, the earthly and the infinite. The hoods conceal identity, allowing these guardians to represent all of us in moments of quiet devotion, transformation, or reverence. They are not bound by name or time—they are protectors of mystery, keepers of the invisible truth. This piece is a meditation on inner stillness, collective presence, and the sacredness of witnessing something beyond words.
