Stairway to heaven

The work represents the human wish to transcend the ordinary and the commonplace and to aspire to a higher level, a higher level of understanding, a higher level of culture, a higher level of quality of life, a higher level of spiritual fulfillment. The values and the colours used here work towards contrasts which reflect the difficulties we encounter in moving upwards. Are we trying to construct a stairway to a good of a higher order, be it heaven or a better understanding and quality of life?
I opted for a very limited palette to convey the message as minimally as possible while glazes are used at different stages of the drying of the painting to enhance the overall unity of the painting.
