Gabriel

This painting emerged from fragments of feelings and seemingly unrelated inspirations. In the photograph *The Wounded Tree*, I saw faces beneath the angel’s wings; later, I was drawn to the torso of a woman hidden among the trees. I felt that these motifs belonged together. It wasn’t until I began painting that I realized I was moving toward Archangel Gabriel—a symbol of hope, intuition, and truth. His feminine energy guides us to listen to our inner voice, offers support in difficult moments, and protects what is purest within us.
