Gothic Windows
Luminous & Numinous
Luminous & Numinous
These paintings were inspired by a visit to the Sainte Chapelle in Paris. The vibrant and luminous windows induced a feeling of connection with the divine. I wanted to simplify the complex and lambent geometric shapes to evoke the essence of the beauty and balance of Sacred Geometry used in Medieval church architecture. Sacred architecture, the sanctuary as the threshold to heaven, can provide a respite from the hectic pace of modern life. Time spent in one of the beautiful gothic churches allows an escape to a timeless place, where beauty can truly be expressed by the radiance of the lucid, luminous and numinous light of glorious Gothic stained-glass windows.
