Visiting a museum recently, viewing a medieval painting of an angel I had the inspiration to portray one of my own interpretation, setting it in the pagan world of Andean traditions.

Thinking about the many celebrations at this time of year: harvest, Day of the Dead, All Saints, autumn...

The original by Adolph de Mayer is a photogravure, ca. 1907 which inspired this photograph part of my ongoing Still Life collections

After visiting Viktor Wynd's Museum of Curiosities.

The Süleymaniye Mosque is an Ottoman imperial mosque located on the Third Hill of Istanbul. The mosque was commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent and designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan. An inscription specifies the foundation date as 1550 and the inauguration date as 1557. Behind the qibla wall of the mosque is an enclosure containing the separate octagonal mausoleums of Suleiman the Magnificent and his wife Hurrem Sultan (Roxelana).

This self portrait should in fact have a subtitle "After Ricardo Perez Alcalá", a Bolivian artist considered to be one of the best aquarellist of Latin America, born in 1939 and died 2013, born in Potosí, Bolivia. In his later years he stated: 'I used to paint what I saw, I now paint what I imagine', very close to my own perception of 'not WHAT I see but HOW I see it'

Experimenting with brushes...

After some doubt about this project I decided to publish it anyway. It is all in your hands, dear friends!
