Curatorial Statement:
The Angel of Prayer represents an angelic presence devoted to intercession and mercy. This is the praying angel—the one who stands in silence, lifting unspoken words and human suffering toward God. The figure does not plead for itself, but for others, embodying compassion, humility, and spiritual responsibility.
Painted on plastic, the work reinforces the tension between fragility and endurance. The surface becomes a metaphor for the modern world—synthetic, vulnerable, and exposed—yet capable of carrying sacred intention. The angel’s face emerges through expressive, raw brushstrokes, stripped of ornament or idealization, emphasizing sincerity over perfection.
Within the German Expressionist figurative language, the restrained palette and direct gaze convey inner devotion rather than spectacle. This angel does not act through force or visibility, but through prayer. The Angel of Prayer stands as a symbol of mercy requested on behalf of humanity, reminding us that prayer itself is an act of protection, resistance, and love.
