The Angel

Amy R. Stein
Fine Art, Art Consultant

It is not uncommon for me to experience, as a portrait painter, a moment when paint becomes transformed into an alive presence, a consciousness which somehow confronts the artist. There are two distinct sides of the angel's face that are apparently unrelated by integrated--a light side that smiles, and a dark side that has an expression of intense sadness and tragedy. In painting this piece, I realized what an angel is--a soul who, having experienced tragedy and sadness, continues to love. This angel continues to be a nourishing and healing image for me and others.
