Artistic Details

The painting features three angelic figures, each adorned with radiant, colorful wings that enhance the surreal quality of the scene. The central angels are depicted in a tender act, holding a glowing orb that emits light in concentric circles—perhaps a symbol of the soul or enlightenment. The third angel, equipped with a staff, stands watch, suggesting a protective role. The sea-green background with floating orbs contributes to the painting's otherworldly and tranquil atmosphere.

Butkovsky’s use of vibrant colors and dynamic imagery not only captures the eye but also emphasizes the ethereal themes explored in the artwork. The angels' serene yet serious expressions, coupled with their slightly exaggerated postures, reflect Butkovsky's ironic-philosophical style, playfully engaging with traditional celestial imagery while probing deeper spiritual meanings.
