Sanctus

In a forgotten crypt deep beneath the earth, far removed from the murmurs of life, a saint sleeps. The passage of time changes everything, but he, oblivious of it all, rests peacefully. 

Sleep in eternal slumber, holy one! Enveloped in shadows and devoid of dreams, until Light itself will awaken thee.

Digital art: Dreams of Spiritual Cleansing

Empty yourself of what does not belong; the dread, the rage, the illusions in your head. Purge the sorrow and despair that clouds your soul, and breathe the fresh air of a new day. Let silence return and peace reign, my friend, for tomorrow starts today.

Sea horse fountain

Looking as if it came straight out of a Jules Verne novel, or the pencil of Édouard Riou, this sea horse fountain really captured my imagination.

Sleeping Beauty

Gracing one of the walls in my living room is a very special image: a cast replica of the putative death mask of the "unknown girl of the Seine" (in French: "L'inconnue de la Seine", aka "La Belle Italienne").

According to a story, around the late 1880s a young woman was pulled out of the River Seine at the Quai du Louvre in Paris. The girl showed no signs of violence, and a pathologist at the Paris Morgue was so taken by her beauty that he made a wax plaster cast death mask of her face (source: Wikipedia).

 

Other sources claim that the mask has different origins, but whatever the real story may be, her beautiful features and eerily serene expression totally captivates me. In any case, I'm one in a long line of artists before me, who kept a replica of this enigmatic beauty in their home.

Pearls

See the melancholy tears of autumn hang on a spiders web like a collar of pearls. Look for magic, and you'll find it.

To wonder and see magic even in the everyday things, that's what my life is all about.

Pride

 

 

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

 

—Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
