Sapientia



Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas, 80 x 80 cm (± 31 ½ x 31 ½ inches)



Two crystal decanters creating playful distortions of the background motif depicting an ancient Chinese Indigo batik design. The transparency of the glass symbolizes purity, spiritual perfection & knowledge.

Because of the owl's association with the otherworld and its mysteries, this bird was thought to be cognizant of future events and became an emblem of wisdom.

The title Sapientia is Latin for ‘wisdom.’
