The Bible says in 1 John 3:2: “We are children of God; it has not yet become apparent what we will be.
This is a look that can touch my heart: “I as an individual can see myself in a relationship with God.”
This is what the Bible means when it speaks of the “Child of God”: “I can see myself as a creature of the Creator. And his creation continues, including in me.
Whether I am lonely or sociable, whether I have a weak or strong ego, whether I am unhappy or happy - I let it be said to myself and those around me: It has not yet become apparent what we will be.

The origin of the depictions of angels can already be traced back to Judaism. Albrecht Dürer had the angels appear in connection with the apocalypse. The early modern period popularized the illustration of small child angels with chubby cheeks.
There was also controversy surrounding the nature of angels: scholars such as Thomas Aquinas pondered the question of how and why.
Aquinas even argued that angels do not have to have bodies. But it is a topic, which is missed out in Modern Art.
Artists like Alfred Schwarzenschild (1920) or Herbert James Draper (1898) painted the “Fallen Icarus”, but as we know that`s Greek mythology.
I would love to say, that it was Caravaggio, who inspired me to create a whole series of guys wearing these massive wings, as I have never seen that in paintings like that before. And a wise man once said: “Create your world! Paint what you like to see in paintings.”

SUCH OWLS AS YOU is an instrumental song by The Brambles from Melbourne, Australia. It helped me to translate the vision of someone, who just discovered that he`s able to develop a superpower. He might just play around, imagining it by himself, while huge wings are popping out of his back.
Dedicated to the people, who can`t find sleep at night, which are often called ”Nocturnal animals”. I simply call them owls.
