Created using white chalk, yellow chalk, orange sandstone, brown rock, and brown hematite, Encounters With Mysticism reminds us of the transformative experience of unity, where the ego fades, shifting our perspective. Everyday life becomes sacred; when listening to a friend becomes an encounter with meaning, . Commonplace becomes enchanting because it is attended to with presence.
Part of the Of Soil and Starlight collection, this painting explores our bond with the earth and the unseen cosmos above. It speaks to the cycles that shape us, departure, discovery, and return, reminding us that even as we reach outward into the unknown, the earth continues to hold us steady.
Material: Painted using handmade watercolours onto natural linen canvas, this is an original artwork finished with a UV-protective matte varnish. The painting is framed in a bespoke solid oak and stained with a gentle linseed oil to enhance the wood's natural grain.
Signature: Signed on the reverse.
Certificate: Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Your painting will be carefully packaged and shipped via courier directly from my studio. You have the option to collect the artwork directly from my studio in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
