A luminous guardian emerges from a field of gold and shadow. The wing, the gesture of the hands, and the warm radiance evoke protection, inner warmth, and spiritual presence. The layered surface allows the figure to appear as if suspended between material and light.

This work explores the idea of unseen protection and the quiet force that surrounds the human heart.

Technique:

Hand-painted glass artwork created using traditional tracing black for glass painting combined with silver stain gold. The surface is built through multiple manual processes including scratching, layering, and textural interventions to create depth and aged luminosity. Structural lead elements are integrated as both compositional lines and symbolic divisions, referencing classical stained-glass techniques while remaining contemporary in execution.
