Météorite – M73

My first intention was to paint a shining sun as I love light! My inspiration came from a short prayer I used to say for my children from the Baha’i writings: “O God, Guide me, protect me, illumine the lamp of my heart and make me a brilliant star. Thou art the mighty and the powerful.”
As I added more layers, the painting morphed into a meteorite – one that aimed at bringing more light into the world. It felt like a confirmation that we are on this earth to shine and if each one of us shines, the world will illuminate. An alternative name for this painting would be “Illumination”.
