DESCRIPTION
The artwork features an abstract stained glass window centered around a Gothic rosette designed to resemble a radiant sun, painted in striking shades of blue. The rosette intricate patterns ripple outward
like celestial waves, with deep gold fragments creating a luminous, otherworldly glow. Beneath this ethereal centerpiece, two hands, painted in realistic skin tones, emerge as a stark and beautiful contrast
to the surrounding blues. The hands, depicted in a gentle clasp, are rendered with smooth, organic curves, emphasizing their humanity and warmth against the cool, abstract backdrop. The interplay between the warm, life-like hands and the geometric coolness of the blue sun
creates a powerful visual tension. The surrounding space is filled with fragmented panes of varying shades of navy, cerulean, and teal, their curved edges drawing the viewer’s eye toward the central figures. The entire composition is framed by a gold Gothic arch, with an angular design further accentuating the softness of the hands. The window exudes a sense of harmony and duality, blending human connection with celestial abstraction.
