The Guardian Angel of Mariners (The Captain)
German Expressionist, mixed media on canvas
Approx. 14 × 11 in
2025
This small-format work depicts the guardian angel ofj sailors as a silent captain navigating unseen currents. The face emerges from turbulent layers of blue, earth tones, and dark washes, suggesting sea, weather, and memory intertwined. Rather than commanding a ship, the figure embodies vigilance and protection, guiding vessels through uncertainty and danger. The restrained scale intensifies its intimacy, inviting close contemplation. Rooted in German Expressionism, the painting prioritizes emotional truth over realism, presenting faith as navigation and presence as shelter for all who cross the waters.
