Falling Angels - When the World stood still
Falling Angels - Art in Times of uncertainty
A series born from Crisis
2008/2009 - The world was trembling. The financial crisis shattered stability. Fear took over. People were losing everything - security, jobs, their sense of control. Society stood at the edge of an unknown future.
I felt that pressure. Personally. Professionally. Creatively. And in that turmoil, Falling Angels was born.
Themes & Meaning
This series is not about despair. It is about the fragile moment between fall and flight. The angels are neither rising nor crashing - they exist in a state of in-between. A reflection of uncertainty. Of transition. Of transformation.
Light & Darkness - The blurred line between hope and despair.
Falling & Rising - The paradox of collapse leading to rebirth.
Raw Emotion - Fear, strength, surrender, defiance. The human experience in its most vulnerable state.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
The Falling Angels series remains a significant chapter in my artistic evolution. It stands as a reminder that ever in chaos, there is beauty. There is expression. There is transformation.
In a world where life is treated with reckless abandon, even Death himself succumbs to exhaustion. This painting from the Falling Angels series portrays a fallen angel cradling a weary, defeated Death - his scythe slipping from his grasp, his skeletal from drained of purpose.
It is a haunting reflextion on humanity's destructive tendencies, the relentless cycle of violence and the fading boundaries between life and oblivion. What happens when even Death can no longer keep up with the chaos we create?
