Grande Mistero

Inspired by Madonna images in western and eastern Art, I decided to paint this series of small canvases paying homage to all the Madonnas depicted by the great masters in western art as well as delicate graceful Madonna images found in some old Hong Kong films, including operas. 
The juxtaposition of the two different realities raises questions on the mystery of life as understood by both cultures,

The story of the violet is a poem I learned from Father Johnny when I was young. The mystery of Christ and the gracefulness of the Madonna images remind me of the true beauty of the Violet: you are but you know not, I know but I am not 

grande mistero

indeed, life is a mystery

Thank you to all
