Description
This is a charcoal drawing that came as a result of a study from a early 16th-17th century wood relief carving. The carving combines the work of two favorite artist with a version of Michelangelo Buonarroti’s
sculpture, “The Pieta”, on top and the work of Leonardo da Vinci, “The Last Supper” which makes a foundation for the latter work, forming a golden ratio that balances both works as part of a trinity. I’m not sure who the artist of origin is as this piece is a family heirloom that a close friend’s mother has in her collection here in the U.S. originally from North Western Poland. The rendering is from a master carver. As I developed the study in charcoal many surprising images began forming in my drawing so I continued to develop what was coming though. The images began takin on a strong spiritual energy and I just followed what the work reveled as I worked on it and that’s how this image came from the study of two great masterpieces I’ve always loved with a passion. This, Iconic study was a slow process, one drawing I worked on for 2-3 hours a day for around 45 days. My friend’s
Mom is so much, beloved by me, for always being a loving, kind, dignified (and patient) lady and she graciously lent the sculpture out for as long as I needed it to complete this drawing. I finished it only months before leaving to come to Hawaii to research the colour and light of the islands. I feel like it’s been a break through of sorts for me in that I trust unplanned things that come out as I do my artwork, sometimes obvious to see and other times not so obvious as an image but as strong energy or vibration that will work out in the finished work, and sometimes have meaning that others see that I might not see immediately. It seems to be in a sort of realm of spiritual space or a dimensional
area of, “Mana”.
