Lights Beyond the Veil, 2025

By Student  Shadi

The artwork potrays the mystery of unseen blessings. At its centre stands a mother, radiant with joy, her face illuminated by light whose source remains hidden. The glow seems to pierce through an invisible veil between the earthy and divine suggesting that there are forces of love, hope and grace shining upon her even if they cannot be seen by the eye.

Acrylic on canvas, 80cm x 60cm
