Angels 5 is a contemplative, night-sky variation from my Angels series. Ethereal figures emerge in layers of turquoise, teal, and indigo; their citron halos feel like small suns moving through a veil of prayer. The palette is intentionally restful—modern enough for hospitality spaces, yet devotional enough for chapels and quiet corners at home.
ARTWORK STATEMENT
I painted this work as a whisper of presence—messengers that do not perform for the eye, but stand, keep watch, and guide. The forms are softened on purpose; I want viewers to sense movement before meaning, peace before explanation. The constellation-like flecks in the navy field suggest the unseen order that holds us.
NOTES FROM THE STUDIO
Built with thin, translucent glazes over rough canvas tooth, the glowing heads are scumbled with warm yellow and a cool mint to create that “lit from within” effect. I kept edges open and vaporous so the figures read as presence rather than portrait. This print master was optimized for large sizes—contrast and micro-texture are tuned so the atmosphere remains silky even at 40×30 and 48×36 inches.

ectral energy of Angels 5 pulses within a minimalist room. This piece absorbs natural light and refracts it back in contemplative hues, creating an atmosphere of stillness and wonder. The figures may suggest angels, ancestors, or a gathering of watchers—open to interpretation but never passive.
The work pairs well with Angels 3 and Presence, each exploring unseen realities through light-drenched abstraction.
In hospitality spaces such as spas, lobbies, and mountain retreats, Angels 5 functions not only as décor but as atmosphere. Its calm presence invites guests into a space that feels both elevated and grounded.
Design Tip:
Hang this piece on a large white or stone-toned wall with low-profile seating and warm natural lighting. Its glow intensifies against minimal textures like linen, oak, or rattan. Ideal for mountain resorts, coastal sanctuaries, and wellness-focused interiors.
