Mary Magdalene’s Vision Ed. 2 of 50

A composition inspired by the Gnostic interpretation of the Gospel according to Mary Magdalene.
In the gospel version found in the Berlin Codex, Mary Magdalene is singled out by Jesus himself for special teachings. Jesus is offering something different and unique for that time – he offered women a place next to men, a spirituality of equality.
Mary shares her vision with the other disciples regarding the heavenly realms, revealing a path that we can navigate to liberate the soul; not in death, but in the here and now, a salvation.
She describes witnessing the soul ascending and confronting seven powers of the flesh that need to be confronted within ourselves before reaching clarity - past the ego of our own little lives to what’s more real, lasting, and infinite.
The seven crescent moons circling the larger moon above Mary’s head represent the seven powers of the flesh in her vision. The painting indicates Mary is in her third mind which sees the vision and perhaps where she is having a conversation with Jesus.

Thank you for visiting my art.

My passion for creative expression goes back to early childhood where I loved spending time drawing, painting and experimenting with music.

Ever since I could remember, I've believed that we are so much more than what is perceived by the accepted normal. Growing up, these feelings manifested into passions for art, literature, philosophy, metaphysics and esoteric pursuits which greatly influence the themes in my paintings.

Through painting, I am able to share ideas and themes that connect me with everything 'out there'. Natural forms, celestial elements and moving water are often featured in my art for their strong association with transformation and expansion.

I believe that art has the power to connect, inspire and challenge our surroundings. I try to create art that is interesting and engages the viewers’ attention to other possibilities and places of higher introspection.

Painting brings me great joy and I hope a sense of that feeling is reflected in my art.
