2008 / oil on canvas / 90 x 120 cm

The Pieta of Michelangelo
is for me one of the greatest works of art of all ages
and a strongest expression of human feeling.
In this painting, the Madonna mourns all her children- victims of wars…
Mysteriously, the blood of innocent babes
fuels the fire of Mother Earth’s fathomless Heart…

Prayer:
Mother of Compassion, Sacred womb, embrace in your arms babes …
innocent victims of wars…
their blood feeds your mysterious core,
Oh, beloved Mother…
embrace them all.
