This is such a lovely post--you are right the divine cannot be expressed in words and somethings defy words--I was just sharing with a friend that as a writer, I feel lacking in words to capture the vastness of a dark desert sky. In the philosophical tradition of Vedanta, God is divine consciousness. How does one represent that? The symbol "Om" is often used to convey the divine consciousness or the supreme Brahman in Vedanta and Hinduism but consciousness is beyond verbal and visual capture! I love your capture of the Archangel. What made you depict it in this way--more aligned to children's art--for the lack of a better word;-)?
Thanks, Anu! I love what you said about how hard it would be to represent divine consciousness. I'm very interested in Vedanta too!
As for your question about why I drew the angel in that way—that's basically just the way I draw, haha. My goal with this is not to try to copy the artwork as closely as I can, but instead to capture it and record it in my own way. I think that makes the experience more personal and (for me, at least) it makes the art more fun to make. :)
