This is a draft for a mural contest that took place at my university about a year ago. In the end, I didn't find the time to actually participate in the contest, so the draft is as far as I went. I don't really remember why exactly I chose this theme, but from what I can see, the angel represents the balance between culture and knowledge, wisdom and intelligence (or something of the sort). Anyway, the mediums are watercolour and pen.

This picture reminds me on old orthodox churches... It is very symbolic and make me think of some strange things... something like "what is the sense of our living... why are we here on this Earth";-)) Sorry, just my ill thoughts...LOL
The colours are awesome, great watercolour use!12

wow, really a great pic! I have to remember it! I wrote an angel series but I have not thought of an angel of culture! But she reminds me a bit of justicia, the goddess of righteousness or how she is called in english. anyways, a great picture!

I like what you did with the hair - that it vanishes into the background. I also like the monochromatic colourscheme.
Well done!
