Golden Lotus 

Michael Parkes created "Golden Lotus" using a muted palette that gives the work a classical feeling. Parkes’s oeuvre is deeply rooted in his interests in Eastern philosophy and esoteric knowledge. This work presents a confluence of mythological and spiritual themes that are central to Parkes’s artistic vision. We see ethereal beings and classical figures, surrounded by an allegorical atmosphere. The artist often explores the interplay between the earthly and the divine, and this piece is no exception. "I am trying to create an image that reminds people of the incredible world that we live in" Parkes stated, reflecting on his inspiration. This work invites you to consider the complex relationship between humanity, spirituality, and the natural world, while evoking a sense of mystery.
