A Stunning Exploration of Symbolism, Celestial Beauty, and Reflection by Richard Heley
Created in 2022, this masterpiece fuses Symbolism, Expressionism, and Surrealism into a mesmerizing narrative. The artwork depicts a cosmic tableau where celestial and earthly realms converge. Within the circle of the universe, human figures reflect community and shared dreams, tethered by the moonlit expanse above.
