Oil on linen (Alu frame) / 40 x 40 x 4,5 cm / 2019 - 2020
This work is part of the series 'Silence and The City' (2019 - 2020). ‘Silence and The City’ is inspired by New York City and the search for contemplation and inner silence in everyday life, about finding meaning in life and the connection of the spiritual world with everyday life.
During my trip to New York City in September 2017 I spoke to this kind Afro-American lady who was contemplating in the silent and beautiful garden of the ‘Church of the Transfiguration Columbarium’ looking at a statue in the garden. It was Lucifer, the fallen angel. She said to me; ‘Be aware of the fallen angel, he is everywhere in this world’. That was the inspiration for this painting.
