The Timeless Presence of Ethereal Grace



There is something deeply moving about the way art connects us across centuries.

Ethereal Grace, my new series of portraits, was born from this dialogue between past and present, between the tangible and the unseen.

Each piece is a feeling: an echo of history, light, and soul.


These portraits are crafted through egg tempera, an ancient medium favored by Renaissance masters for its purity and luminous quality.

Unlike modern paints, egg tempera allows light to move through its layers rather than simply reflecting off the surface.

Each stroke, each delicate veil of pigment suspended in a yolk-based binder, builds a quiet glow from within. The result is a surface that feels alive, radiant, timeless, and deeply intimate.


The inspiration for this series lies in the meticulous craftsmanship of the Renaissance and the opulence of the Baroque. Yet rather than recreating history, these works seek to reinterpret it.

The figures emerge softly from the surface like visions caught between worlds, ethereal yet grounded, serene yet intense. Their gazes, tender and profound, invite the viewer into a contemplative space where silence speaks louder than words.


Symbolism flows naturally through each composition. Gold leaf glimmers like celestial light, evoking the divine and the eternal.

Silk ribbons and flowing fabrics recall the sensuous drapery of Baroque portraiture, their movement suggesting grace, fragility, and the passing of time.

Every detail, every shimmer, every fold, becomes part of a larger conversation about beauty, spirituality, and the persistence of emotion through the ages.


Each portrait, to me, is a meditation on beauty—not as a fleeting ideal but as an eternal presence woven into the fabric of existence. The softened color palettes recall the grandeur of aged frescoes and gilded altarpieces, carrying with them the quiet dignity of time.

Subtle shifts in light and shadow create a rhythm, a breath across the surface—inviting the viewer to linger, to feel, to remember.


More than portraits, Ethereal Grace is a reflection on the invisible: the soul’s quiet glow, the weight of memory, the sacred interplay of light and being. It is an invitation to slow down, to look deeply, and to recognize that beauty is not something we merely see, it is something we sense, something that resonates within us long after we turn away.


Though the canvas in the physical sense, these works exist beyond the frame.

They are timeless presences, whispering stories of devotion, fragility, and transcendence.

Through them, I hope to offer a space for stillness, wonder, and the subtle recognition that we, too, are part of this endless dialogue between light and soul.
