Lighting by Bianca ter Riet

This artwork, titled Enlightenment, radiates a deep spiritual and introspective energy. The image shows a woman with a serene, almost transcendent expression. Her eyes are closed, her face relaxing, as if she is in a meditative or mystical state. The dark tones of her clothes and background contrast powerfully with the golden circle behind her head, which acts as a halo and symbolises her loftiness.

The golden circle may refer to holiness, spiritual awakening or inner light-elements associated with enlightenment in many religious and philosophical traditions. This suggests that the woman is experiencing a moment of deep awareness or transcendent insight, in which she breaks free from the worldly chaos and connects with something greater than herself.

Her face is rendered with rough, expressive brushstrokes, emphasising her humanity. This detail shows that enlightenment is not an abstract or unattainable concept, but something that comes from inner struggle, growth and self-acceptance. The minimalist, geometric background adds a modern and symbolic dimension, giving contemporary form to the timeless theme of spiritual enlightenment.

With this title, the artwork invites the viewer to reflect on their own quest for meaning, peace and awareness. Enlightenment is not just a physical image, but an invitation to introspection and self-reflection. Modern Abstract. Black, gold, brown, terracotta, beige.
