The Gold Standard of a Brittany Hermit Filiger, Charles - Saint Cecilia (1893)

Filiger didn't care about the champagne. He lived like a hermit. Saint Cecilia. Small, gold. No human flesh. Just pure, ancient geometry like Byzantine icons. A quiet rebel, his work still glowed.

At sunrise, six women move together across a soft green hillside in spring. At the front right, a tall young woman in a luminous yellow-green gown leads barefoot, her body turned in profile toward the pale rising sun. Violet blossoms edge her neckline, and a long golden sash falls along one side. Behind her, five companions follow in airy, almost transparent light blue gowns, their dresses pooling in cool folds. One is partly obscured among the others, creating a layered procession rather than a neat line. Their skin is light. Their hair ranges from auburn to blonde and brown, and most wear it softly pinned up. None meet our gaze. All attention turns outward over their left shoulder towards the hush of dawn. Pink-lavender hills, still water, flowering branches, and a sky washed with pearl, peach, and mauve surround them in a mood of quiet awakening. The title "Aurore" points first to dawn itself, and the painting clearly stages a passage from night into first light. Research suggests the image was understood as more than a decorative morning allegory. The leading woman in green can be read as Dawn personified, while the blue-robed companions feel like attendant spirits of spring, hours, or renewal, but the work’s meaning remains deliberately expansive. Scholar Anna Zsófia Kovács has argued that this “inscrutable allegory” may also have been received as a political metaphor, helping explain why its acquisition by the Hungarian state in 1893 drew such notice. That reading gives extra force to the procession’s forward movement as not only nature waking, but a collective national emergence toward promise, change, and light. Suspended between French academic allegory and Symbolist atmosphere, French artist Jean-Paul Sinibaldi’s painting makes the break of day feel both seasonal and historical ... like a vision of renewal that invites us to imagine what, exactly, is beginning.

6" x 8" Divinatory drawing in Micron pen and Berol Prismacolor pencils: Seven candles stand in front of a circular window in a creamy yellow wall, with an ornate red half-mask with gold detailing dangling on the viewer's left beneath a clump of mistletoe hung with a red ribbon in a loose bow. To the viewer's right are a pair of dice with the numbers six and one upright, next to a small sprig of holly, an evergreen branch with two pinecones, and ivy climbing up the wall around the window. Within the flames reflected in the round, dark window are three sigils in black and red, yellow and orange.

My newest divinatory drawing for the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 3rd day of Saturnalia.

The sigils above the flames tell us:

Share Joy
Reflect Love
All Are Equal

This artwork depicts a mystical, alchemical scene featuring ornate glass vessels and intricate astrolabe-like instruments. The vessels, adorned with elaborate gold patterns, stand prominently in the foreground, their shapes varying from tall and slender to round and bulbous. In the background, large crystalline structures add a sense of depth, resembling leaves or abstract foliage. The entire composition is set against a dark, arched architectural backdrop, evoking a sense of ancient mystery. The rich blue and gold color palette enhances the enchanting and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene.

Another rendition of the Sydney monument where the main structure has been removed. It is simply titled “Altar”. The subject, likely not social media compliant, has been replaced with a skull. #surrealism #symbolistart #art

Sculpted elegance: Dampt’s portrait art is as much about texture and form as it is about presence. A timeless study of grace and patience. #JeanBaptisteAugusteDampt #SymbolistArt #PortraitSeries

A hand reaches out against an explosive sky of swirling oil textures, catching radiant streaks of yellow, pink, and orange that burst into deep cobalt and indigo. The gesture feels like a blessing or invocation, full of emotion and motion.
