This painting depicts a medieval or fantasy-style portrait of a woman against a starry night sky background with hints of pink and blue nebulae. She wears an elegant medieval dress in deep blue and burgundy, adorned with an ornate chain necklace. Her features are striking, with piercing blue eyes and defined lips, while her long, wavy brown hair is styled with intricate braids that frame her face. The artwork appears to be painted in a realistic style with attention to detail in both the subject's features and her period costume.
About the Artist
Joseph Schwartzman
In the year 2000, I had an epiphany. I envisioned a painting with a figure before a nebula as if she was introducing the love and consciousness of the universe to the onlooker. I thought that this was going to be my last painting. What happened is that it became the first painting that truly expressed my spiritual vision. When it was complete, I just had to keep going. I found my visual vocabulary by combining the beautiful images from the Hubble telescope with human figures.
Initially, I did not assign meaning to the first painting. When I saw it completed I learned what I came to believe. Love and consciousness are fundamental. There is no single moment of inspiration more important than the initial one. Yet, as I continued to paint, I unleashed ongoing discoveries of what I felt. When I paint portraits the eyes express love. When I paint a ballet dancer in a nebula, I express the harmony of humanity with pure consciousness.
My paintings are a series of ongoing moments of discovery. The initial epiphany evolves but never ends. I saw the first painting in my mind. It came to me in a flash, and I knew I had to paint it. When making a new painting I discover new ways of seeing this spiritual vision unfolding.
