Probably inspired by the poetic atmosphere of the film Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin), this painting distills a melancholia suspended between the earthly and the invisible. The angel is neither radiant nor ethereal, but human, silent, dense.
Surrounding him are layers of material and color that seem to evoke the scars of a city — and perhaps of the soul. There is no clear redemption, no explicit comfort, only a presence.
This is a painting about persistence amid erosion, about the gaze that watches, protects, or simply exists. Here, the painting doesn’t tell a story — it breathes.
