L'esprit gardien
CA$ 2,994.00 CAD
This mixed-media painting is a part of the series 'On the Wings of Hope'. This triptych creates a sense of hopefulness during desperate times. In life, we all experience failures and disappointments from time to time. It is disheartening to face a series of setbacks. It is during such dark times when nothing seems to go right that we wish that there was a guardian angel present to protect and guide us.

The Story Behind
"It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. This Presence is the source of all peace. all joy, all security. Find this Presence in yourself and all your difficulties will disappear." - Mirra Alfassa
This triptych was created prior to the pandemic. The idea of facing struggles in life, feeling dejected and depressed is a normal part of life. We look for some divine intervention to keep us going when everything seems to be going wrong. Today, this painting is relevant in the context of the pandemic also.
I like to create an interesting background with several layers of underpainting. I tend to mix figurative elements with abstract brush strokes. I like the contrast this creates. The abstract part makes the figurative part stand out. I like to use mixed media. Collaging fabric and other elements create interesting textures. In this painting you see two figures – a faithful soul counting on the guardian angel’s intervention.The guardian angels come in different forms. One just has to look for the signs and understand that it is the universal spirit providing the needed assistance.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
