Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Ab Luci - Concept Painting

'Ab Luci' is Latin for "From Light".  This illustration was my first attempt at a large scale watercolor painting on cold press illustration board and it was a good learning experience for me, however, I am not happy with the results.

This painting is part of my triptych series Bellum Lucis et Umbrae (The Battle of Light and Shadow) and will be overhauled and painted in oil. 




Here are the progress shots:
