Curatorial Statement:
The Angel of Incense represents an angelic presence in a moment of deep contemplation and intercession. The rising smoke is not an act of rebellion, but a sacred symbol—incense as prayer, breath, and offering. In biblical tradition, incense carries prayers upward, transforming silence into devotion. This angel embodies that sacred pause, standing between heaven and earth.
Rendered in a German Expressionist Figurative Abstract language, the figure emerges through raw brushwork, layered textures, and emotionally charged surfaces. The face appears human and vulnerable, reinforcing the idea that angels can absorb human weight and emotion while remaining faithful witnesses. The smoke becomes a visual metaphor for time, waiting, and spiritual transmission.
This work speaks of angels who do not act through force, but through presence. The Angel of Incense is a guardian of prayer, a bearer of unspoken words, and a reminder that even stillness can rise as devotion.
