Born Free: Angel & Cityscape Allegory Painting | Innocence vs Society Theme | 16x20"

A Poignant Meditation on Innocence Before the World Leaves Its Mark

"Born Free" presents a powerful encounter with untouched innocence, capturing a childlike angel whose expansive white wings embody purity. Rendered with raw, textured strokes, the angel's indistinct face suggests a spirit shaped by feeling, not form a fragile being yet to be marked by the world's complexities.

This luminous figure stands before a brooding cityscape of deep grays and blacks, its sharp, angular buildings casting a shadow of societal weight and isolation. The stark contrast creates a profound tension between innate innocence and imposing external structures. A single, bright star gleams in the upper right, its steady light a symbol of guidance and resilient hope.

With its heavy, textured brushwork, the painting navigates the delicate boundary where purity meets pressure, meditating on what it means to remain "born free" before those forces take hold.
