The Spiritual Series: Modern Icons

In these works, I explore the sacredness found within the individual. By merging classical realism with abstract symbolism, I create "Modern Icons" that honor the lived experience and the enduring spirit.

Artistic Elements of the Series:

• The Realistic Core: The subject is rendered in a monochromatic, classical style, focusing on the intimate details of the face and expression to ground the piece in human truth.

• The Sacred Halo: Each portrait is enveloped in a vibrant, circular halo. These are not merely decorative; they represent the subject's energy, divinity, and their place within a larger cosmic or spiritual context.

• Mixed Media Textures: As seen in the silver leaf accents, handmade papers, and organic washes of color, these backgrounds provide a tactile, multidimensional environment that contrasts with the stillness of the portrait.
