   Category Professional Oil or Opaque
 - K. G. Fraser Award for best painting overall on the Show.
 
The painting itself gives the observer the freedom to search for his/her own meaning and forms within.
Because it is so condensed with details and energy I decided to  enlarge the image as much as possible, making it very visually effective. The edges of  the painting are coloured and made for chunky 1½" stretchers which provides a truer impression of the original work. Such an image gave me the freedom to play around with it even more, making each piece a unique work of art. For this reason, each image will be dated at the time of embellishing.

A miraculous appearance of mother Mary's profile was the answer to an emotional drama, reflected onto the canvas. I personally recognised it almost six months after creating the piece, while I was observing it from the side of my bedroom. The profile looks almost like the one we would expect to find in religious icons. The bliss from her eye is reflected in the water. The light from above represents Higher Forces. This painting has a deeper message: the only solution for  resolving global catastrophe is connecting with the higher self and God / the Universe. This  is the only way to heal Mother Earth of pollution - by praying and visualising  a positive outcome.
